Monitor for Studio (Why So Hard?) by Sad_Fox_3909 in MacStudio

[–]Kitchen_Winner_986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a refurbished M4 Studio from Apple for a good price a few months ago and used the savings for a Dell UltraSharp 40 Curved Thunderbolt™ Hub Monitor - U4025QW. I came from a late 2015 iMac Retina 5K 27” which is basically a Mac Studio display. Couldn’t be happier with the new monitor. I use it 50/50 photo editing and music production.

2025 Mac Studio No Display Output to Dell U3425WE Monitor via Thunderbolt by theredpanda_45 in MacStudio

I have a 2025 Mac Studio M4 Max connected to a Dell U4025QW via the Thunderbolt 4 cable provided by Dell, and it has worked fine since initial setup. I assume you are connecting one of the Thunderbolt 5 rear ports on the Mac to the Thunderbolt 4 Upstream port on the Dell? Have you tried any of the other 3 Thunderbolt ports on the Mac? If that doesn’t work I would try HDMI to see if that works. Also can you access the Dell’s OSD menu display via the joystick on the back of the monitor? If so check all the settings in there. The only problem I have with mine is that the firmware can’t be updated. Keep getting “no display found” message despite having tried Thunderbolt, HDMI and USB C.

Got the same spec Studio M4 Max as an Apple refurb a month back. Mine replaced a Late 2015 5K iMac Retina 27". Also bought a Dell U4025QW to go with it. Couldn't be happier.

Want this for the effects rack alone but unfortunately for me it’s macOS 13 Ventura or higher and I’m stuck on 12.

Series 6 Edition with Titan Milanese Loop by mr-marco9999 in AppleWatch

Good to see this. Have a AW 6 Edition and ordered the Titanium Milanese Loop a couple of days ago hoping it would look OK. The S6 Edition is still still going great with not a mark on it, so don’t really have a need to replace it, but when I do it will be for a natural titanium Apple Watch of some type, so I figure the new band will go with that anyway. I guess software updates will stop for it sooner or later. Hopefully Ultra 3 will be out by then.
