I was blown away with the picture quality while watching netflix. Now if I could only figure out what I did wrong with installing my printer! :( I'm tryig to get it to work wirelessly. When I print test pattern or anything it says it's going and complete but nothing prints up. Anyone have any ideas for me?

I just returned my HP Envy 27-inch monitor to Amazon. I too have a 2012 MacBook Pro (13") and attempted to hook it up to the monitor via HDMI (adapted from thunderbolt? - not the mini video port of old). The picture was horrible, fonts were unreadable. A 90-minute call to HP support revealed that they have no driver support for Mac and all the fiddling with the settings on the Mac did not solve the problem. Oddly, I have my MacBook Pro hooked up to an older HP 23" monitor via HDMI and it works like a charm. Not sure what the difference is between the two monitors, but there it is.

Maybe. It depends on how capable is your Wifi router. I had the same problem with my router being upstairs. I ended up buying a new better router and it still didn't help. What I ended up doing is reconfiguring my original router as wireless access point and keeping it within about 20 feet from the Roku box. Now the streaming problem have disappeared with Netflix and Amazon VOD. Actually when you stream, the Roku box provides an indication (in terms of horizontal dots) of how good the signal strength is. If you get 3 or greater dots (maximum is 4), you have a good connection. The signal strength in the settngs menu also should say the strength is good or excellent (fair isn't good enough). I still have the stutter with IMAX and some other HiDef sites but I feel now this might be either a problem with these sites not being able to deliver HD traffic very well or my Comcast connection not being fast enough. I get &gt;5Mbps consistently though it ranges between 3-13Mbps. I recommend you check your internet BW limit on U-verse first. If you are getting less than 1.5Mbps you will have a stutter independent of your Wifi on Netflix. If you are getting &gt; 3Mbps then most likely it's your Wifi. Hope this helps.

No, there aren't any compatibility problems with Mac interface with BenQ monitors. I use the XL2720T with my Macbook Air via D-sub and was able to mirror the display with no problem. I also used the same connection to extend the display with no problem either.

Hi, I just bought this TV and I have a Netflix account. I'm trying to stream Netflix on my TV but I can't hear audio. I bought an HDMI cable and connected it to my Macbook Pro. This TV functions nicely as a giant monitor, but I want to be able to watch movies with the audio coming out of the TV. Does anybody know how to do this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! I was trying to find a Netflix ready icon on the box -- it doesn't have one. I'm assuming I can't?

I'm not familiar with the HDMI issues with this device. I have been using it flawlessly for several months. The Apple AirPlay and wireless connectivity work like a charm. The HDMI connections were a breeze and eliminated a huge tangle of old analog cables in the back.

I just bought one of these last week and the picture looks good from any angle. I am very pleased with the picture quality also, as well as it's wi-fi conections. My wife streams Netflix movies on it at least once a day.I hope this has been of some help for you.

Netflix streaming video quality has more to do with your internet connection than your router. If your internet connection is too slow for Netflix to stream at it's highest quality than the image may look poor. Either way I would not recommend streaming video through wireless. If it is your only option than you may want to install higher gain antennas on either end to help connectivity.

I have the 16:9 widescreen model, and it works just fine on my mac. I do believe it comes with install disks for both systems, but it's been so long since I first got it that I can't remember.

Yes. I haven't encountered any issues. These are top notch disc's. I've used them in several PC's including my older MacPro and G5 desktops. I don't have a MacBook. I haven't had any bad disc's as of yet. I still have over half of the 200 I purchased... but I think I would've had at least one go by now if the QC was lousy. Remember that the best name disc's can have bad runs, and vis versa. IMO we are at the mercy of luck in many cases. All you can do is find a "currently" high rated product, and get it fast before they rest on their laurels! I hope I didn't get too off subject for you here? But I like these discs!

Make sure that your video card supports the ultra wide resolution, I returned this monitor because my late 2012 macbook pro didnt seem to be able to handle the max resolution well so everything seemed a bit skewed.

The picture quality on Netflix is lower with Roku2 than with the original Roku. I have a 720p TV, so I got the Roku2 basic. Terrible picture. Since my original Roku was XD, I figured that had something to do with it, so I returned my Roku2 and upgraded to a Roku2 HD. Picture quality is still poor compared to the Roku XD.

It's probably your network connection's strength. Netflix is in full HD when I use it on this Tv.

I edit in Adobe Premiere CC, and from what I understand is, is that Premiere demands much more hardware intensive components to work better. FCPX is a bit more optimized for Macs from Apple, if you're looking to replace this in a Mac Pro/iMac/MacMini/etc, this will be perfect, I have 0 issues with this drive for editing, render speeds are fine, playback is smooth, 0 frames dropped, export is relatively fast. If this is going to be a scratch drive, this larger the capacity, the longer it will work before it goes dead, which is nice. Buy it if you can, or go for Samsung Pro SSD, which are better, but cost more. Hope this helped, message me if you have anymore questions.

Depends on what version of OS X you're running and if there's a driver for it. I'm running a 2013 MacBook Air with OS X 10.10.3 and it works great, even for streaming video to a television. It works far better than similar products I tried. YMMV of course with such old hardware though. I would wager you won't want to stream video or anything like that, and i'd expect it to be stuttery and laggy due to that being USB2.0 and not USB3.0. But the upside is that Amazon has a great return policy if it doesn't work as well as you think it should.

Awesome J.Ausfeld! When you get this figured out - please let us know. My wife tried to get me the 2550 for Christmas, but got confused and I ended up with a 2500. Meanwhile, I *love* the netflix streaming... it works great. Now if I can only add Pandora! (Also, I've been thinking that with web-enabled content, all kinds of applications could theoretically be programmed on a disc...).

Their screens do have pretty good res, and its about 100 dpi which isn't so bad either.... The computers don't have blu-ray now, and I don't think Apple's said anything about it yet, but I kind of expect Apple to start including blu-ray support next time they make new models of their computers maybe around the summer. Keep an eye on sites like AppleInsider... might tip you off about future changes to the Macs.Or here's something... http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/02/29/apple.and.dell.blu.ray/
