I’m usually in front, but when multiple family members are in videoconference I’m on the side and the viewing angle is only slightly finished. As for the color, it identically matches my MBP display. My office is well lit, so I turn the brightness level all the way up and it’s perfect. Volume and brightness can quickly be controlled through the control center.

The integration with MacOS is seamless, with ability to control the display and MBP simultaneously via touchbar. The replacement came in and it works great with M1 MBP.Įasy connection with Thunderbolt 3 and supplies powers to my MBP. I bought this, and had it replaced due to damaged during shipping.

Also, trying to look up the repair number they emailed with gives me a "Sorry we cannot find this page". You also cannot email the technical service reps back which effectively cuts off all communication and you have to start all over again. Contacted LG support about this too and tried to get this sent in for repair, but they never responded with a return label. It was like a line down the middle of the panel that offset the image. Then there was this graphics distortion down the middle occasionally. Contacted LG, but they wanted me to do upgrade the firmware, but problem was the LG Screen Manager program wouldn't even detect what version of the firmware was running and couldn't update. 3 months in to owning, the camera, mic and speakers went out on the monitor. Read so many other reviews saying the same things. I've used the previous version of this display and it seemed to hold up better. Kind of disappointing that LG hasn't put more thought into something so important.Įase of use, Features/Settings, Performance, Quality
#2012 MACBOOK PRO MEMORY UPGRADE DO THEY HAVE TO BE MATCHED DOWNLOAD#
I have thus far chosen not to download the software, as the reviews make it apparent that it's buggy. One must go to the LG website to find it, and even when entering the correct product ID, it was a frustrating chore to locate. The only drawback thus far was the lack of software.

I read a ton of reviews before deciding on this monitor, and thus far I'm very pleased with the decision to purchase. I now have tons of screen real estate to work with, fantastic screen color/resolution and my neck and eyes have really benefited. The integration between the two products was seamless. As an amateur photographer, I needed an adjustable monitor that would work well with the laptop. Any worthwhile purveyor of RAM for Macs will let you easily locate modules that are compatible with your Mid 2012 MacBook Pro.Last year I purchased a new MacBook Pro and in recent months found that my eyes were taking a beating when trying to work on photo editing. I would recommend that if you do choose to purchase replacement RAM, that you get a pair of matching modules - either 2 × 4 GB = 8 GB, or 2 × 8 GB = 16 GB, to replace the pair that is currently installed.įor your second question, you don’t have to use Apple-brand RAM, but you do have to use RAM with the same characteristics as your factory-installed RAM uses. It might be that the cost of replacement RAM modules outweighs your level of frustration - only you can make that determination of worth. Otherwise, to answer your first question, whether it’s worth it or not depends upon how frustrated you are running your usual selection of apps with 4 GB of RAM. If it’s displaying “0 bytes” as the amount of swap used, then extra RAM won’t make a difference. Since you’re running Mavericks, open up Activity Monitor while you’ve got your usual selection of apps running, select its Memory tab, and look at the Swap Used setting in the lower left.
