If u buy an apple product, and within 2 weeks later if there is new product launched, one can always ask for exchange for free. It is a policy of apple.

I'm using a M2 Mac Mini now. But I can't seems to have my continuity camera to work wirelessly.

It works if I were to plug it in with a cable. But never wireless. Anyone have the same issue?

Wireless Continuity Camera doesn't seem to be detected, until I plug it in via USB first and then disconnect while FaceTime/Photo Booth is active.
This is with iOS 17. In any case, I think wireless usage is not reliable enough for serious usage.

In addition, it is better to be plugged in an charging the phone instead of draining the battery unnecessary.

Just bought Mac Mini M2 and plug into my LG C1 48"

Technically under the paper of MMM2 : https://support.apple.com/kb/SP891?viewloca...MN&locale=en_MN

It should support Dolby vision and Dolby Atmos right?

When i try to play videos that support DV and DA in Apple TV app (I do subscribe Apple One) but my TV won't trigger the DV & DA and only play in HDR and PCM

One question wanna ask is that Mac mini M2 does not behave like Apple TV 4k which has Match Contents and Match Dynamic Range ?
We can only manually set SDR or HDR under display setting?

interested in getting mac mini M2 to experience macOS as first time user. will use it for daily web browsing, checking emails, read research papers and watch youtube 4K videos.

but more interested to run on my Dell G3223Q 4k 32" 144Hz gaming monitor.

so my questions/concerns:

1. can mac mini M2 output a 4K 120Hz via DP to USB-C port? I have ugreen DP to USBC cable used with my lenovo P14S gen 2 workstation laptop, but it only outputs 60Hz (the laptop graphics can only able to output max resolution @ 4K 60Hz sadly)

as i understand, mac mini M2 has only HDMI 2.0.
not going to get M2 Pro just for HDMI 2.1

i want that same smooth scrolling as what i experienced on my ipad pro 12.9 M1.
which config should i get if i want to run 4K 120Hz properly?

is 16GB with 256GB SSD internal enough? i can expand the storage by buying external SSD such as Samsung T9 1TB later

2. when running 120Hz screen, will i able to run Youtube 4K quality with faster framerate, or it will just lock to 60FPS only?

3. is text clarity/text scaling would be an issue here if using 4K reso?


thanks guys.

1. you need a DP cable to USB C 4 to supprot 4k 144hz. 16GB is good choice and you can add external SSD for storage.
2. Youtube mostly is 60fps or 30fps. So you won't be able to utilize your 144hz.
3. 4K is bad for mac. It doesn't resize properly, I am using 4k 27" and I have to use 1440 resolution for comfortable reading size. Mac is built for 5k.

Btw haev you bought the mac mini yet? If so how's the experience with it and your monitor?

i end up buying mac mini M2 Pro base model instead LOL.
I connected using HDMI 2.1 port.

But 4K 120hz is just perfect for my Dell G3223Q monitor as per this guy's awesome 4K120Hz macs listing:

Macs 4K120hz monitors compatibility listings

But after much time spent to get that best display settings, i used the resolution of 2304x1296p 120Hz. Because that is the best resolution that I can USE HDR.
by default, if want to get HDR + 120Hz/144Hz, I have to choose either:

1920x1080p (everything is freaking large, no screen real estate) or

3840x2160p (everything is wayyy too small, too much screen real estate)

on other resolutions, HDR option cannot be turned on.

so the best sweet spot was that 2304x1296p @ max 120Hz. All fonts look pretty damn sharp. Similar smooth scrolling as what i experienced from my iPad Pro M1 12.9 (120Hz ProMotion). Working on Words, Excels, reading PDFs was just a smooth experience!

I also got the DisplayBuddy app (paid app, about USD22.99 for 2 Macs, got 10% off student discount) to run presets on dimming or brightening the screen during day/night & other settings.

I DEFINITELY cannot go back to 60Hz screen after this. Never ever!

just curious how do you get custom resolution 2304x1296p? i can only choose 720p 1080p 1440p 2160p

I use DisplayBuddy app and can it can display even other resolutions macOS can’t list it in Display settings.

AFAIK, there are other similar apps such as BetterDisplay, EasyResX and etc

As per my last mentioned, it seems like can only turn on manually if your display support

Until now it still dun have something like match content/frame thing

Next MacOS update dunno will fix or not

Just curious, do you connect your LG C1 48" to your Mac Mini M2 via HDMI2.0 port?

If yes, then you might not getting the output (Atmos) you wanted.

but when I read thru few reddits.com, apparently if you connect to a tv/monitor that has a DisplayPort 1.4, you can use the USBC to DP cable (ugreen 8K USBC to DP cable is a good buy) to your Mac Mini M2's USBC4 port and can get the desired output.

But according to rtings.com, this display didn't have DP1.4 port, so I guess either hopefully Apple releases an update to fix this issue in future macOS Sequoia or you gonna have to buy a display that has at least DP1.4.

but on a good note, your LG is an OLED screen, which produces beautiful, crisp, true black display though.

My Mac Mini M2 only has HDMI2.0 port since it's not M2 Pro.
LG C1 all ports = HDMI 2.1
However, Dolby Atmos doesnt really need HDMI 2.1 since it's lossy?

So my Mac Mini M2 probably stuck at 4k60hz without Dolby Atmos even though on paper it says support Mac Mini M2/M2 Pro Spec
The only way to get Atmos is when i paired my Airpods Pro Gen 2 , lol ..



OLED TV is a must now after experienced it

Waiting for new breakthrough next before i wanna change my LG CX or C1.

Hi guys, i am getting Mac mini m2, with configuration to 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM. Mainly for my study/assignment use.

m2 mac mini is so overkilled to my needs.

No such thing as overkill.

16GB/512GB SSD is future proof. No worries on that.

It’s 2024 and I believe 8GB RAM & 256GB SSD should not be the norm these days.

m4 mac mini and all other macs now starts with 16GB with the same price. Imagine buying mac mini upgrading to 16GB just 2-3 months ago.

yeah.. those who bought mac recently kena pwned by apple... price same but free upgrade to 16GB ram, last time to add extra 8gb to 16gb it costed quite a bit...

i saw the m2 mac mini being sold for rm2000 and the m1 macbook air for rm2500 on shopee/lazada, nearly bought it but decided to hold on. i am glad i did, the m4 mac mini is definitely the model i will target now.

yes... the m4 mac mini is having the best cp value for anyone who wants to enter macOS system...
