Nice. It takes a while to switch but if u use iPhone or other apple devices together with Mac, u will love the ecosystem eventually.

Natural Scrolling is like how you scroll on your phone. When your finger swipes up, the screen scrolls down. When your finger swipes down, the screen scrolls up. When you use two fingers to scroll on your trackpad it doesn't feel like because you are not touching your screen.

I know the meaning of it, but I feel it unnatural instead, as it feel the movement is opposite. πŸ˜…
Agreed in what you said, on touch screen then different.

Just bought a 32" VA 4K BENQ monitor and regret it smile.gif I couldn't really use it on 4K, 2K is good though. Going to 4K, the scaling is surely not good, all things become too small.

4K needs 42" for 100% scaling.

The 32" is actually a nice screen size but don't have good resolution for 100% scaling. 1440p is too big for it and 4K is too small for it.

So 32" screen size is out from my listing for the moment. It is either go for 1440p in 27" or 4K in 42".

Do you all use a monitor? What model?

Yes. I connect my MacBook Pro to LG OLED Flex, a 41.5" 4K 120hz display.

Oh okie so i don't need to buy extra adapter lah? Just normal USB-C cable will do?

Ahh i just checked the monitor i ordered only has HDMI. damn! doh.gif

If your MacBook Pro latest with M2 Pro chipset, it came with HDMI port, just buy a HDMI 2.1 cable and connect to your monitor HDMI port, it support 4K 120hz. If it is M2 chipset only, it still support 4K 60hz.

No adapter or USB-C Thunderbolt 4 cable is required to use.

if your MacBook Pro don't have HDMI port, then just buy a USB-C (Thunderbolt 4 compatible) to HDMI Cable will do.

I buy PROMATE 8K @60Hz USB-C (Thunderbolt 4 compatible) to HDMI Cable
Tested no issue running up to @ 4K 120hz with HDR.
