so you'll likely want to try and avoid turning FRC on.
Is there a way to turn it off on apple computers? Does anyone know if the new apple M2 studio desktop automatically employs FRC? If I get a 10 bit monitor, would the FRC turn off?
- A wipe and reinstall can do massive wonders to an 6-to-8-year Mac. A fresh reinstall of the latest makes a large difference;
I did end up doing this, though it still runs pretty slowly. I have one photoshop file for a project that is large enough that it takes a few minutes to open on the new Mac Studio, so even trying to open it on the old 2016 Mac would either take either 20 minutes or just end up crashing the laptop entirely.
- Surgical upgrades (doubling RAM, upgrading to SSD) from OWC Computing (
www.macsales.com). This will help prolong the life of an old Mac until something bridges you over. Understandably, this is only doable to a certain extent.
I thought it wasn't possible to upgrade a Mac computer after purchasing it.
- Just use your old MacBook as a 2nd monitor: Your old MacBook can be an AirPlay destination for a newer MacBook. Apple has excellent AirPlay-based multimonitor support (even if you don't use Stage Manager), so as long as the laptop can be an AirPlay destination (natively or 3rd party software), you can still use your 2016 as an ergonomic screen.
Is it possible to hook a desktop Mac up to a Mac laptop? I haven't been able to find decent answers about that.
Running with external displays may be something you have to consider. Portable monitors are also another option, once you've found 'comfortable' external desktop displays. Prioritize on steering yourself back to comfortable ergonomic waters first.
That's what I'm doing. I gave up completely on the new apple laptop a while ago. The problem is I'm still having dizziness with the external displays hooked up to the apple studio desktop.
The two most recent displays I've tested are the Dell UltraSharp 27 Monitor - U2724D which causes some mild nausea and the old apple thunderbolt 27" monitor which so far is the easiest but does cause a little bit of nausea but it's the most mild so far out of all the displays I've tried.
Is it possible there is something with the apple studio computer itself that is causing this? I don't know if this is a computer issue or a monitor issue. Is it possible for it to be a computer issue? Do I need to see if I can get apple to let me return the Mac Studio? (I'm a couple days past the return window so I don't know if they will allow it)
As I asked earlier in the post, is dithering automatically employed, and if so is there any way to turn it off or is there a type of monitor that wouldn't trigger it?
My solution was to find a good projector, after buy a few, the best one for me was to purchase a short-throw LED projector from OPTOMA (the newer one with automatic focus). Now, I project onto a wall, which is easier on my eyes.
I don't have the blank wall space to do that and my walls are textured. I'm not sure this would be a good solution for me, especially during the day time.
I believe the root of the problem lies in the brightness, flickering, and blue light emitted directly from the monitor affecting our eyes.
I don't believe blue light is the issue as blue light blocking glasses haven't helped, and I never had any issue with blue light on my old computer. I've also tried lowering the brightness, and sever of the monitors I have tried as supposed to be flicker free.
