This is the most impressive tech demo I have seen in years. Spatial computing just became real. I hope, I can buy something like this in a few years. Thanks you for inventing and sharing.

I would like to have this! Is this a real, working prototype or just some computer animation?

Yes, it fully works for me!

Terminal:

  system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType

Output:

macOS 26:

  Displays:
    LG HDR WQHD+:
      Resolution: 6400 x 2666
      UI Looks like: 3200 x 1333 @ 120.00Hz

macOS 27:

  Displays:
    LG HDR WQHD+:
      Resolution: 7680 x 3200
      UI Looks like: 3840 x 1600 @ 120.00Hz

144 Hz works as well.

I had to undo some of my previous configurations (0: disabled, 2: default)

  defaults -currentHost write -g AppleFontSmoothing -int 2

Apple lists ultrawide display support as a feature:

  Ultrawide display support. Now you can get higher resolutions on ultrawide displays, such as 5K at 120Hz. And your display arrangements stay exactly as you left them, for a seamless experience every time you plug in.

My favourite feature about this release is that support for ultra wide monitors dramatically improved.

I bought a MacBook Pro (M5 Pro) in march and was shocked that it did not work properly with my LG 38WN95C-W Monitor (3840x1600@144Hz via USB-C).

This has been fixed with macOS 27. I finally can use the native resolution + HiDPI with my monitor.

As a former owner of the HTC 7 Pro (also known as the HTC Arrive), I have to disagree. I absolutely loved this device because of the keyboard. The onscreen keyboard was hidden when the physical keyboard was open. It basically doubled the screen estate. It felt like a very tiny notebook.

I currently own an iPhone 13 Mini which is also considered a niche phone and does not sold well. I guess, I am the wrong person to ask which type of phone should be build. Having said that, I would love if Apple would create a phone with a physical keyboard.

Looks great, I would like to try it out. Can you recommend any OBD2 adapter? I’m driving a Ford from 2019.

I was expecting more waves. I am wondering if this video was AI generated. I hate that it is so hard to trust your eyes nowadays…

Edit: Did a quick background check, video seems legit.

What about DELL? The Dell UltraSharp lineup seems to be pretty solid. I am planning to get one once my LG Monitor dies.

I guess you need control over both cable endings. You can buy dedicated cable testers like https://treedix.com/products/treedix-usb-cable-tester-usb-c-...

Let me know if you find one! I wanted to wait for a few months to let the experienced smart homers pave the way.

Home Assistant* introduced support for infrared a few days ago. Not sure if it would be a good idea to stay in business for a bit longer and see if the Home Assistant community boost the sales.

I am personally interested in an IR Sender to make my old Hifi Setup smarter.

Impressive, that's quite a feat. It is great that you found a workaround - it gives me hope that Apple will eventually fix this issue. I will hold out for a bit longer an wait for apple to get their act together.

I am still in disbelieve about the issue. I thought I have bought the most advanced notebook on this planet just to find out that it does not support external displays?

I recently bought my first MacBook Pro (M5 Pro) and I kinda regret it. It is a nice notebook but I would never bought it if I knew that it does not work properly with my LG 38WN95C-W Monitor (3840x1600@144Hz via USB-C). BetterDisplay allows me to use 3360x1400 with HiDPI but I still lose screen estate that I got use to.

The worst part is that I did my research if my monitor works nicely with Apple Silicon and got confirmation that this is the case. I would never expected that M5 would perform worse compared to previous generations.

Apple really does a lot of things right but then they mess up the basic.

Guess I will ask Apple Intelligence for advise how to explain to my wife that I need a new Monitor…
