  • M4’s External Display Connectivity Lags Behind M1 Pro: A Discussion on MacRumors Forums

    In my experience with the unusual external display setup using the M4 chip, there are several drawbacks compared to the M1 Pro, despite some advantages. The 32:9 ultrawide display (G95SC) is correctly recognized, and it can support VRR at 240Hz, a feat not possible with the M1 Pro, which maxed out at 120Hz. However, this setup introduces new complications.

    One major issue is the slow and occasionally failed wakeup function. Each time I toggle HDR or VRR, the display disconnects and disappears from the settings menu, forcing the MacBook Air to struggle before reconnecting. This issue is problematic for clamshell mode; since I am using a Thunderbolt dock with DisplayPort, the monitor sometimes takes an excessively long time to wake.

    In some instances, it fails to wake up altogether and reverts to sleep mode. This issue did not occur with other monitors, leading me to question whether it’s a problem with the G95SC or macOS. The M1 Pro had no such issues running in 120Hz mode.

    Additionally, when attempting to use dual monitors, the Thunderbolt dock could drive two displays (5120×1440@120Hz and 3840×2160@144Hz) simultaneously with the M1 Pro. However, the M4 struggles when connected to the 32:9 monitor at 240Hz and fails to support another display, even if I reduce the refresh rate to 120Hz or connect a second monitor to a different Thunderbolt port. It’s worth noting that the setup still works fine with two standard 16:9 144Hz monitors.

    As for alternatives, the DP1.4 to HDMI2.1 adapter, which didn’t work with my M1 Pro setup, performs almost flawlessly with the M4 at 5120×1440@240Hz without any lag. Unfortunately, the colors appear oversaturated, regardless of the color profile used.

  • MacRumors Forums: Discussing HiDPI for External Screens in MBA M4

    Hello everyone! I recently purchased the MBA M4 and set it up with two 27-inch 1440p monitors at work. As I’ve been exploring features like MST and HIDPI, I’ve encountered a few challenges.

    My primary monitor connects through a DELL DOCK using a DisplayPort cable. In the display settings, I can select a resolution of 2560×1440, but it appears without HIDPI, making it look quite poor. The default HIDPI option only works for lower resolutions, which makes everything oversized and impractical.

    I discovered that by using one-key-hidpi, I could achieve a 2048×1152 resolution with HIDPI enabled. This setting gives me sharp text that’s just the right size. I’m curious if this is the maximum resolution I can reach under my current setup with HIDPI activated.

    Additionally, is the one-key-hidpi the optimal method for enabling it? At home, I have an LG 34 21:9 monitor with a resolution of 3440×1440, but I haven’t connected it yet since I lack a USB-C cable and a hub. I wonder what resolution I can expect with HIDPI enabled for my LG monitor.

    Can anyone recommend suitable cables or hubs for this connection? I assume an HDMI to USB-C cable would allow me to connect my LG at home, and I would need a hub to connect my second monitor at work. Thank you for any advice you can provide!

  • Discussing the Same Topic Repeatedly: MacRumors Forums

    The debate surrounding design choices, particularly the use of notches in devices, has been ongoing for some time. Until it personally affected me, I remained largely indifferent. Recently, I upgraded to a MacBook Pro M4 Pro Max for work, transitioning from an i9 Intel model. While I truly appreciate the capabilities of this new machine, I find the notch at the top of the screen rather frustrating.

    The concept of adding a small bezel above the screen to accommodate the camera seems logical. Instead of having a notch that interrupts the display, a slightly larger bezel could house the camera and other necessary components. This design would allow for a seamless all-screen look, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the laptop. Interestingly, I’ve noticed that I don’t find the notch on my phone as bothersome.

    It seems less prominent and doesn’t interfere as much with my user experience. However, on my new MacBook Pro, the notch feels like wasted space, almost like having an intrusive feature staring back at me—the “eye of Sauron,” if you will. Despite my admiration for the capabilities and performance of the MacBook Pro, I struggle to comprehend the design logic behind this choice. It seems counterproductive to sacrifice visual coherence for a design trend that doesn’t enhance usability.

    In summary, while I embrace the power of my new device, the notch remains an unwelcome feature in an otherwise impressive machine.
