Any idea how i can make 2160x1440p -60hz available on my work laptop? the laptop is only hdmi 1.4 i think, but on my previous monitor I was able to get this resolution. Thanks!

Thank you Ruslan! Based on this video and other research, I bought the Belkin SOUNDFORM converter you demonstrated, and an eSynic Optical to RCA Converter. And I got it working with our circa 2002 Onkyo TX-8511 amplifier/receiver that is used for our whole-house stereo system. The frustration: our house has a whole house sound system with a pair of excellent speakers in every room; there are even speakers in the roof of the gazebo outside by the pool! Around 20+ years ago, we "upgraded" to an Onkyo TX-8511 amplifier/radio receiver, and a Sony CD changer that held 200+ music CDs. Well, the CD changer stopped working, so we've been left with FM radio only. And, in the past 5 years we've been listening to music on Apple HomePods. Most recently we got a HomePod Mini, with the thought that it would be more portable. However, in reality it's remained in its usual spot in the livingroom (IMHO HomePods should have recessed handles, but that's a different story..) So, although summer is coming to an end, we still wanted to be able to play any music on the whole house sound system. This video and another one from 10+ years ago that showed how to pair an iPod with an Onkyo TX-8511, and some research that explained that HomePods can aircast to Airplay 2 devices (Belkin Soundform is one) gave me encouragement that we might achieve the desired result. Tip: research also indicated using the CD input on the amplifier would be best for optical connections, and to absolutely not use the Phono input. Challenges: -The Apple Music acct was subscribed to by my husband, who is not a techie. The process of changing the Apple Music to a "family plan," given that I had already shared my Apple storage with him, strangely made it complex for another subscription to be added to sharing, and meant a lot of trial and error and frustration. -I have an iPhone 8 with iOS 16.7.10. Once I plugged in the Belkin Soundform, I could not get the Belkin setup to open on my phone, eventhough I was using the NFC tag. And in the Home App it wouldn't work either.. until finally it did. Lack of power on the phone was probably an issue. At that point, I named the Onkyo in the Home App. -The Belkin couldn't see the HomePod. I found instructions (from 2018) for resetting the account on a HomePod. (appleinsider.com/articles/18/02/14/how-to-reset-your-homepod-and-connect-it-to-a-new-apple-id#:~:text=To%20do%20this%2C%20unplug%20your,automatic%20prompt%20to%20get%20started). This was necessary because it had been logged in via my husband's acct, but he had left for a flight. Once I did this, I could **finally** see the HomePod Mini in my Home App on the phone. Previous attempts to add the HomePod via "add device" had gone nowhere. Note - this reset will not work if your phone is running on 2% power. Get a charger and get out of low power mode. 🙂 -I had the music playing on the HomePod and could see the player on the lockscreen of my phone, but I still didn't have the music playing via the amplifier. I looked at the player on my phone's lockscreen, and I tapped the icon (on the right) for the HomePod. This allowed me to select the output device, and there it was - Onkyo was an option! Once that was select and the volume on the amplifier boosted, I finally had my music on the lovely speakers that have such amazing audio quality, in the house! (After about 4 hours of trying.. lol!) The synchronization was so good, that at first I thought the Mini was no longer playing from its own speakers. But I went up close to it, and sure enough - it was playing too. It was in perfect synch with the whole-house speakers. One question: I followed the instructions from Belkin in the pamphlet for downloading the Belkin Soundform app - apps.apple.com/us/app/soundform/id1562371277 - but this app is for wireless earbuds from Belkin. Nothing about the product relevant here. There is another Belkin Soundform app but it is for use with Alexa. I am confused about this. Can anyone explain how they have updated the firmware on this device? thanks Ruslan, I also wanted to say that I was impressed with the video quality of this instructional presentation. You mentioned that video editing is your hobby.. well, I would say it also could be your job.. it was a very fine video. Thank you!

I have a 100hz monitor, so would I need a different firmware file or the one showed in video would be fine

Did You guys check if it works with 5k2k monitor?

i cant find a place do download intel power gadget

I trained myself to use Launchpad, populating it with all my useful apps (including some Applescript apps that do certain functions), with the dock at the bottom, hidden. Mousing to the lower left corner brings up both Launchpad and my dock, so they're both nicely hidden until I need them. What we need is a Mac program to move the whole screen over a bit, perhaps once per day.

Doesn’t work on all networks

Would be great to know what disabling the OLED care implies in terms of burn-in. Maybe having the thing move around a bit is a worthy tradeoff.

Tap to wake is fine. I just want the fking music widget to not be there or not be able to press play/pause.

Can i connect mobile data to directly pc using this adapter

Huge thanks for this video. Just purchased a 42" C4 and was wondering how to get the most out of it as a monitor.

hi if I grab any brand 8k usbc to HDMI adapter, with a HDMI2.1 cable. Is it okay? or I have to buy that certain one in your description?

i have a four monitor set up connected to my macbook air 2021, is there a way to have one tab span across all four monitors at once so all monitors make up one large collective view?

Will a MBP M3 Max be able to run two 4k/120hz monitors? I'm getting a MBP M3Max. I was looking into getting a CalDigit TS4 dock since it's the best one I've found but it says it only handles 4k/60hz(it's basing that off all M1 line chips). That's why I'm wondering if an M3 Max would handle two 4k/120hz monitors.

Great video, didn't know you can change the color of the traffic lights, this was one of my biggest concerns that was left for burn-in

Hello 👋 yesterday i purchased this device but i didn’t understand the procedure please help me

Actually. There is a good and relative easy workaround for disabling ABL without putting the TV in service mode that erases it every restart: ColorControl.

App name pls dude 🙏🙏🙏

I just gave my apple card to a girl she says it didn't work I sent to check it

I can't even get above 60hz on 1440p with a hdmi cable

Is this the same for Mid-2012 15” MBP

I did this and I bricked mine. I didn’t verify before unplugging. Looks like I’m buying another

When u said m3 Macs are u referring to the pro version or the air version

i have what looks to be the same desk. i suppose there are lots of copies of this desk. the pulls and molding look identical. however, the middle and top drawers to not seem to come out. the bottom drawers do and have the latch. i came to get a look at the stops for the 'tables', which you showed. thanks!

Buy a Mac they said... it will be great they said... This is just sad. I am using a regular 1080p monitor with 100 hertz refresh rate. Guess what, by the fault Max I can go is 60 Hz...On windows laptop, no problem... And to be clear I tried the same adapter with Windows laptop and MBA M1 over usb-c to HDMI. I am thankful for this solution, but guess what... Windows is better now.

The model # in the link shows the gry version and I can’t seem to find the -A (it’s out of stock on cable matters site). Do you just buy the Amazon one hoping to get a -A and return it to try again if it’s gry?

Thanks for this!

Thanks for the vid! Been annoyed with my same remote for 4 years and your tutorial solved the problem in 3 minutes!

how could you have available for an example TruMotion option on PC input? I have greyed it.

I sent you a message on Instagram thank you

Great video my brother

Hi, I just bought a usb c to HDMI 2.1 8k or 4K/120hz but I guess it’s normal that It doesn’t work to 4K 120hz (i can only 60hz)… Do I really have to buy again what you link in the description?

Will the flash still be required if using an M3 MacBook Air? Or is it plug and play for them

Never had an accidental shit u mentioned

raise to wake was released in 2015, ios 9, on the 6s. it had nothing to do with the removal of the home button

On Android: Hold power button: open power menu. Press two times fast the power button: open camera. Valium up + power: vibration mode. Valium down + power: screen shot. Theres are others in settings. And Android have easy way to turn off all sensors (mic, camera, finger print, light sensor, ...), you need only to enable it in settings. You can also enable lockdown button(only pattern or password can open the phone)

You know there is a light sensor that checks if the Phone is in your Pocket. What software do you use ios 3?

Bro android did that first 😂

Nah who the hell is pressing the on button 💀💀💀

funny you need windows to fix mac 😂😂

Thank you 😘

Tips, feedback? Share in the comments below!:

Or just go to the goddamn home screen and leave it there

I have raise to wake on and the flashlight does not do that. It stays on until you turn it off even if the phone turns off.

Awesome video, thank you for making it! I'm considering buying the ViewSonic VX1655-4K-oled for my MacMini and this was helpful to see how the burn-in risk can be minimized. Unlike LG though, ViewSonic explicitly excludes burn in from their warranty so that's a bit concerning :/

Anyone know if this will work on a 2019 Mac Pro?

Very thorough and well written turorial! Thanks for sharing this patch around -- works seamlessly on my mba 2015 11”👍

Some incorrect information here. First, you cannot disable ABL, ever, even with the service menu. What you're referring to is ASBL - which can be disabled through the service menu (GSR, TPC). For the newer TV's, using an app like ColorControl will allow you to access the secret menu and permanently disable ASBL without the TV resetting it each time. I highly recommend using that.
