Yes, I do. Using my Philips 279M1RV 4K with MacBook Pro 2021 running 120HZ though USB-C with 65 watt charging, with only single cable. Much less eye strain with long hours (10+) coding and productivity tasks. Plus some gaming on the side with Xbox. Philips monitor is generally elegant design, without gaming aesthetic. It’s the best of both world, gaming + productivity, and color correct at the same time. Looks like Eve spectrum 4K and Philips 279M1RV using the same LG Nano IPS panel.

Clear explanations in plain English. No hype. ... Well done. Subscribed.

Appreciate putting the whole recap at the beginning of the video!

I have a MSI 27 144hz inch gaming monitor. It’s an absolute game changer for my work laptop. Work laptop is fixed at 60hz plus the obvious 14 inch screen makes it more difficult to work with multiple desktops. With the high refresh rate monitor, things get smooth and exciting to work. One thing i have noticed is some laptops can’t push 144hz and my work laptop is set t 120hz monitor output where as my gaming laptop can output 144hz easy.

I find that when I edit audio in Adobe Audition for my voice overs, using my ASUS VG279Q 144Hz monitor with my M1 Pro makes micro adjustments easier to make and I respond to them slightly faster. The smoothness makes me feel in more control and thus more confident in my movements. This is essentially the same advantage that you get in gaming, but for work. High refresh rate isn't just for games and I don't think anyone who says so has really used one or work in just text editing. This is also useful for video editing and the high refresh rates makes one slightly faster at these smaller movements that add up tremendously over time. I keep my M1 Pro 14-inch on my desk and the Asus high-up. The difference in sharpness is of no issue to me, the monitor's colours are some of the best among gaming monitors (good enough for some colour work) and I'd much rather have high refresh rate vs high resolution. High refresh rate is much more noticeable in usage than high resolution.

Bro I have asus gaming monitor and when I connect my MacBook it only display the Home Screen if I play a video only the audio works on the monitor it’ll stay on the main screen of my laptop visual appears to just not work. have any idea what it could be

I tried a high refresh rate monitor at the shop a couple weeks ago, and it's a game changer. It really feels different and so smooth. The main issue seems to be that if you want cooler accuracy you should buy the 60hz ones, and if you want high refresh rate the 90/144 ones. It's kind of a big dilemma, I don't know if I've seen a decent monitor with a decent price that has both. But the Eve with 1440p sounds like a good deal thanks for the tip!

I have a very similar setup but I'm wondering, how do you connect the pc to monitor + peripherals with just one cable? Does that require your PC to have thunderbolt as well? Would love to see a full video on the setup

Hey man I had this idea and wondered why no one did it, and if its wrong to pair a high refresh rate panel with a mac. But after seeing this I defintely will, also love your channel keep up the good work!

Great Video ! Do you still feel the Dell 32” is still better than perhaps 2/27” Monitors. I dont game STRICTLY Business Productivity (Excel, Word etc. but I am stuck having to use both my MAC Pro 14” AND a Windows 10 Laptop for Work. I am looking to clean up my desk and looking to go down to ONE larger monitor. Would a larger (say 34”) be better?

Hello, Awesome video. I went ahead and purchased a gigabyte M32U which has a high refresh rate. I also have a caldigit TS4. Just wondering what is the best connection to the caldigit and the monitor in order to get 4K and high refresh rate? Usbc to display port? Display to display? Many thanks

Hey, I totally agree on using a gaming monitor with a MacBook, but I had a BIG issue with an Alienware which was everything but sharp when using it with my MacBook M1 Max. Now I am afraid of buying a monitor which may be 120/144 hz if it's not thunderbolt. So I feel the number of monitors that are really available is really limited?

For productivity use, I tried a high Hz monitor. It was a bit smoother moving windows around, but otherwise I didn't really care. I value text quality, so I'm much more interested in the pixel density. IMO at 27", 5K 60 Hz > 4K 60 Hz >> QHD 165 Hz. However, I don't game at all on my computers. I'd consider 4K 144 Hz though.

Thanks for the video! About connectivity: I just had to return my Apple Studio Display because it only comes with 4 thunderbolt 4 ports, and even the thunderbolt 3 cable wouldn't connect to my work laptop's USB-C port. Re. the Dough Spectrum Glossy, which is my second choice (once Apple returns me my money), would it work on my M2 Macbook Pro 13"? Your video seems to suggest connecting it with a "high quality USB-C" cable works with the M1, but when I tried connecting the Studio Display to my work laptop's USB-C with a USB4 cable it didn't work either.

Hi, I am planning to buy a 4k monitor for my Macbook pro 14, and PS5 and Xbox series X. There are a lot of information out there about performance issues (ram, gpu usage etc) regarding to scaling on macbook pro. I am not video editing but coding. I am planning to buy LG 27GP950-B or Dell 3223Q. Some people say 4k is best for 32 inch, not good for 27. I am really confused a lot. This video makes me clear to go with gaming laptop for sure. For productivity and gaming, do you suggest 32 4k or 27 4k or 27 1440p? Thanks for the video.

Yes,It is really nice for switching application,scolling webpage under 144hz...

After using promotion on the iPad and iPhone, I agree that refresh rate is much more important than many Mac users, myself included, have understood. I just hadn't experienced it before. But using a 4k panel with a Mac isn't an optimal experience due to what needs to happen to scale the content to an acceptable size. And 2.5k just isn't sharp enough for me. And so for me personally, I'm waiting for a high refresh, 5k monitor from Apple, if those rumors do indeed come true. And paying more for a monitor is a good investment, IMO. For example, the only reason I still use my late 2015 5k iMac is that I don't want to part with the display, nor do i want to buy a studio display with similar specs -- it just seems like a waste to spend that much for a display that I basically already have with my iMac. So essentially, even though my computer itself is out of date and I want to upgrade, I'm stuck because the monitor option I really want, a high refresh, 5k, Apple-made monitor, just isn't here yet. I know it'll be pricey when it comes, but it'll be worth it. Most of us keep our displays and TVs far longer than we keep other tech. So an argument can be made that overspending on a monitor to kind of future proof yourself is smarter than doing the same with a computer. Anyway, this was an enjoyable, informative video. But i'm still on the lookout for the perfect monitor for a Mac. When that comes, then I will buy a new computer to go along with it.

A 5K and 120Hz monitor would be awesome, but the problem is the amount of data that needs to be transmitted is astronomical. In this video I was doing 4K 144Hz and that is already over 40GB/s, which is about the maximum the thunderbolt ports on the MacBook can output. I think a display like that might be quite a few more years, unless Apple can figure something out.

Great video mate.

Hi guys, I actually reached out to you regarding the glossy version of this monitor and doing a comparison video. Is this something that's possible?

Nice video! How did you get the colors good on the external monitor? Feels like all monitors to which I connect my Macbook 16" display very poor colors..

I did the same I got eh M32U for my M1 Max and it works amazingly well. The PC display industry is in a bad place right now. Most of the features you want at a decent price are in the gaming monitors, however if you want a nice professional monitor with the features you get on a gaming one you are looking at much higher prices and most of the time compromises. I was looking at the Dell U3223, not only does that monitor cost more than than the M32U but it also is only a 60hz panel. The M32U doesn't have the same level of color accuracy, but for my purposes its more than fine. The Apple Studio Display was a non-starter as its expensive and limited for my needs.

How did you connect both your mac and pc to the same mouse/keyboard? I see you're using the caldigit dock, but how does that allow the seamless transition between the two? I see you are only switching the monitor input via the monitor button, but somehow your mouse and kb switch too?

Most docks support limited refresh rates (60 Hz). CalDigit TS3 Plus: [DUAL 4K EXTENDED DISPLAYS]: Connect up to two 4K@60Hz (4096 x 2160 30-bit color) monitors via DisplayPort and Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C port, OR a Single 5K@60Hz display can be supported via the Thunderbolt 3 port. (***DisplayPort to HDMI/DVI/VGA adapter / cable must be an ACTIVE type. So there is no way to have an external monitor using a dock with 144 Hz. If I am wrong, please correct me.

I have a 32 inch curved 144hz with my mac. I love it.

Do you known how to setup a dual monitor 144hz with display port? Is that possible? Is there any adapter to use it?

I have a stigma that higher refresh rate displays have Low pixel densities. I’m sure that’s less true now than it was a few years ago, so I need to rethink that. I think it’s good to advertise refresh rate but more importantly pixel density. So a user can decide where they find the combinations optimal. A 180 ppi display that’s 120htz is nice but not as common.
