Sir my macbook m1 pro display is totally gone, I can't see anything, but macbook start, so can i connect it to a external monitor without looking the macbook screen...
Do you think an LG C3 42” would be a good display for the 2016 MacBook Pro 13” base model? I want to edit videos but don’t know if I should get a monitor first before I eventually get a base Mac mini.
Hey man. The LG 42 with OLED and 4k is a great monitor. I am actually looking at going LG for my next one as well. They make in my opinion the best bang for your buck tech. Your 2016 MacBook can easily push out 4k if you use a usb C to display port, however I believe MacBooks are on a 7-8 cycle for OS updates so your 2016 prob won't receive new updates after this year. What monitor are you currently using, just the laptop screen? The new mac mini has the M2 chip and it will be a whole new world once you upgrade. All the M chips are insane compared to the older tech. If it was me, I would prob get the mini for the chip upgrade, but if you don't have an external monitor yet then I would go for the LG monitor since you would need it for the mini anyway. Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it !
Thank you so much for taking the time to offer some insight into my specific problem. Yes, I am only using my laptop's screen at the moment with no monitor available. I will definitely be getting a mac mini m2 in the next few months to edit 4K iPhone footage, hopefully the base model is enough for my use-case. I was just very worried that the C3 42" would display blurry text as I know MacOS is intended for retina displays.@@SyndromeReview
No problem. Yeah, the Retina will always have the edge in clarity just due to Apple being Apple and wanting you to use their products. I think they aren't worlds apart though and just depends if your getting the monitor for that one purpose. I love to game(console) and also do video edits for RUclips so I would lean towards the LG for that reason vs if I solely wanted to use it for video editing I may save the money and get the Apple 5k Retina monitor. @@mr_red13
Are you able to wake up macbook using the wireless bluetooth keyboard/mouse/trackpad without opening the lid? If so, PLEASE SHARE HOW TO DO THIS. I am really not enjoying opening my lid every time i have to use my laptop in the clamshell mode. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!
Hey man. I have a magic mouse and mine will wake it up as long as the macbook is just asleep and not off. Just a simple click should wake it up. If it is off then you will have to open it up and turn in. I also wouldn't recommend doing this mode all the time since leaving it plugged it 24/7 can cause battery degrading over time.
Thanks man! Mine is the new M3 pro and I have to keep it connected to. Typically they default to having to be charged to do clamshell mode but there is a command you can enter to trick the Mac to thinking it’s charging but I have never tried and don’t know the effect on the battery.
Everybody is telling the same things... nobody is solving the REAL problem with Mac clamshell mode. How do I start the Mac in clamshell mode without opening it?!? I have my MacBook Pro in a stand and have to remove it and open it just to be able to start it. With my Dell XPS 15 I don't have to do that. It powers on when the docking station is powered on... no need to open it ever. It seems Apple is far behind in this regard!
On my Lenovo Thinkpad i have the same Problem. How to start the machine when its closed. Just get a dock or port repeater with a on switch. There are tons of them on Amazon,Ebay. etc.. so Not just Apple is faceing this problem.
Solid info. Just got a MacBook and going to use this! Gained a sub bro.
Thanks man! Mac over windows all day lol
Thanks
Love this
Thanks !

Nice Video, but on my M2 15", I have to keep it connected, but on my old 2020 mbp 13", I dont have to keep it charged, idk why?

How do I start my monitor without opening my Mac?
buy external keyboard
@@Nas-sg3yr external keyboard does not wake up the lid closed macbook. Any idea?
@@davidy6577 this probably means your clamshell mode didn’t work and the macbook loses the connection when closed
