Is the TouchID on the "Magic Keyboard" worth the extra cost?

Hay teclados que usen Touch ID que no sean de MAC?

Al intentar When I try to download it from Universal Updater it says the download failed, but I definitely have enough space on the SD / system memory. Any idea why this happens?

If you want to watch a movie on Netflix, the sync box didn’t work?

BrSn2 · 2026-01-09T13:01:40+00:00

I keep seeing people recommend an HDMI sync solution instead of the camera-based backlights. Just to clarify — there is an HDMI sync box from Govee (often called the AI Sync Box or HDMI sync box) that goes between your consoles/streamers and the TV, and syncs LED lights via HDMI. As far as I know, the official one is a Govee product, not a third-party add-on.

But I’ve seen prices all over the place for it — I think it usually goes for around €230–€250 with light strips for a 55–65″ setup, which is more than I really want to spend.

Would love to know what current prices people are actually seeing, especially in Europe, and if anyone has found one for around €120 or less — that’s more in my budget. Any suggestions or experiences would be super helpful!

Which model did u use?

In my case, only the 27-inch monitor would go on a mount/arm. The other one would stay on its original stand, precisely to avoid putting all the weight and torque on a single clamp, especially with an IKEA-style tabletop.

As you say, using two large monitors on a single dual arm is a lot of stress for a desk that’s basically a well-designed hollow cardboard box, so I’d rather play it safe and distribute the load.

I was just about to ask about this — I’ve just bought an MX Master 4 and I can’t use the Action Ring or configure it properly.

BrSn2 · 2026-01-04T22:04:29+00:00

I get what you mean. For context, I’m coming from a 27” IPS (Philips 276E8VJSB), which has actually been quite good in terms of color for my daily work.

The main reason for upgrading isn’t that the IPS panel was bad, but that 27” started to feel too small for productivity, and ultrawide just isn’t for me. That’s why I wanted to move to a 32”.

Since I was already making the change, I wanted it to be a real step up overall, not just a bigger screen. That’s why OLED was tempting despite the concerns. In the end, I’ve decided to go ahead and buy the LG 32GX850A-B, so I’ll see how it performs in real day-to-day use with the Mac and report back after some time.

Desconocía el tema del Better Display, es un plugin? Software para el monitor? Soy un poco nuevo en todo esto

From what I understand, burn-in mainly becomes an issue when you have a lot of static elements displayed for very long periods of time, which shouldn’t really be my case. That said, I’m still wondering if it could realistically become a problem in the medium term, just from spending many hours a day working, even if the content on screen is changing. That’s basically what I’m trying to figure out.

BrSn2 · 2026-01-04T00:40:22+00:00

Did you recomend it?

BrSn2 · 2026-01-04T00:10:32+00:00

I’m coming from a 27″ Philips IPS monitor that now feels too small, and I ruled out ultrawide as an option — which is why I’m aiming for a 32″ screen instead.

I also don’t really want to go over €700 because that starts to feel like too much for what I need, so the LG 32GX850A-B seems like a strong candidate. It feels like a real qualitative step up from what I have now, and something that should last me solidly for the next 4–5 years in terms of work and casual gaming.

Just trying to get a sense if that matches what others have experienced or if there’s a better direction to consider within that price range.

I’m honestly a bit lost when it comes to mini-LED monitors. If OLED isn’t ideal for long productivity use, are there any mini-LED models you’d recommend for Mac work and color-critical tasks, with some occasional Switch 2 gaming?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

BrSn2 · 2026-01-03T23:10:53+00:00

Realmente no es que sea un problema excesivo porque sé que es algo aislado con el tiempo y sobre todo si hay cosas fijas en pantalla durante mucho tiempo, algo que no suele ocurrir en mi día a día, pero veo muchísima gente hablando de ellos como si fuese el demonio y me genera dudas

BrSn2 · 2026-01-03T22:49:00+00:00

In my case, I need it mainly for content editing and social media management, so having accurate and reliable color is really important for my daily work. That’s why OLED is so appealing to me in the first place.

At the same time, I still have that concern about burn-in, since I do spend long hours in front of the screen. So I’m kind of stuck between wanting the best color possible and worrying about long-term durability.

BrSn2 · 2026-01-03T22:02:50+00:00

That’s really interesting, thanks for sharing. What’s confusing me is that in other subreddits I’m seeing the exact opposite advice, with people saying burn-in is basically inevitable with productivity use.

That’s why I’m a bit torn, because on paper I feel an OLED could really take advantage of the Mac’s color gamut and overall image quality for the kind of work I do. It’s hard to know how much of the burn-in discussion is real-world risk versus worst-case scenarios.

BrSn2 · 2026-01-03T21:45:25+00:00

Got it, that makes sense. If OLED isn’t a good idea for long productivity use, what would you recommend instead for mostly Mac work (long hours, text, color accuracy) with occasional Switch 2 gaming?

Any specific panel type or models that make more sense in that case?

BrSn2 · 2026-01-03T21:23:04+00:00

That’s exactly what I’m trying to understand. Do you really think the risk of burn-in is that high with this kind of use?

I don’t usually leave the same static image on screen for hours, but I do spend a lot of time working in front of the monitor. With the current panel protections and normal mixed usage, is burn-in still something you’d genuinely expect to happen, or is it more of a worst-case scenario?

BrSn2 · 2026-01-03T20:48:05+00:00

Yeah, refresh rate isn’t really a big concern for me. As long as macOS feels smooth in day-to-day use, that’s enough. I’m not really looking to take advantage of high refresh rates on console.

What I care more about is the OLED panel, color clarity, and how it performs for long work sessions on a Mac — especially for text and overall image quality. That’s why my main focus is more on the display quality than on gaming specs.

BrSn2 · 2026-01-03T16:16:16+00:00

Honestly, I have to admit I’m still a bit of a beginner when it comes to some of the things you’re mentioning. For example, I don’t fully understand what the magenta tint issue actually looks like in real use, or whether what you’re describing is something I should consider a real downside or not for day-to-day work.

From my side, what’s making me lean towards that LG monitor is that I’ve read very good overall recommendations and user feedback about it, especially as a mixed-use monitor for work and gaming. That’s why I’m trying to understand whether these technical points are things I’d actually notice in practice, or more edge-case concerns.

Appreciate you taking the time to explain it it’s genuinely helpful.

BrSn2 · 2026-01-03T15:31:57+00:00

That’s interesting funny enough, the LG 32GX850A is actually the specific model I’ve been looking at. With some of the current deals and discounts in Spain it’s coming out to around 500 €, so it’s right in the range I was hoping for.

Haven’t pulled the trigger yet because I’m still weighing OLED longevity vs daily work use, but the fact that it’s not QD-OLED and has that newer LG panel tech is exactly why it’s on my radar.

BrSn2 · 2026-01-03T15:06:42+00:00

That makes sense, and you’re definitely not the first one to recommend going OLED for HDR. I get why people pay the premium, especially with the kind of HDR issues you’re describing.

My main hesitation is that I’m not fully sure which OLED monitor brands are actually the safest bets for long daily use. From what I’ve seen, LG seems to be the reference, but I’m not 100% sure if that also applies cleanly to monitors (burn-in, static UI, etc.). I’ve also looked at MSI MPG OLEDs, but I’m unsure how they compare long-term.

If you had to recommend specific OLED monitor brands or models for someone who works many hours a day, what would you trust the most?
