This post presented. The latest version of Apple’s operating system, High Sierra, was released and is being hailed as “.” It’s full of tweaks to essential apps like Safari, but the remarkable stuff is under the surface: a, as well as the groundwork for virtual-reality experiences. What’s the catch? Glad you asked. An update this substantive will likely require you to download even more software to ensure smooth compatibility for the rest of your system — keyboard, mouse, the works.

If you lose track, things can easily get buggier than. Some will remember when LaCie issued a much-needed update to fix an issue that actually caused a full crash when booting legacy MacBook Pros. But if you own an LG UltraFine Monitor, you’re in luck. The company just dropped the LG Screen Manager — a new automatic software update program that will seamlessly integrate your display with High Sierra while improving key features. Volume curve fine-tuned The most notable upgrade comes to the display’s volume control.

The LG UltraFine 5K Display requires a compatible Mac running macOS Sierra 10.12.1 or later (macOS Sierra 10.12.2 or later is recommended). Compatible Mac models are grouped below by the resolutions that they support. Settings were Fullscreen, Reflections Disabled, no AA, all other settings 'HIGH' or 'HIGH Smooth.' (HIGHEST in Average Frames per Second = FASTEST) ANALYSIS This is not so much a shootout as a spotlight on the ease at which two different Mac Pros running Mac OS X and one Windows laptop can handle the new fad in displays: UltraWide.

The speakers are already controlled from your MacBook or iMac, meaning you don’t have to mess with physical buttons on the monitor itself. But new software now fine-tunes the volume curve, making possible more uniform, specific adjustments. Crank up Bach to 11, set the Norwegian black metal to whisper-quiet, or find a middle ground that works for you. Integrated camera boosted Another boost comes to the integrated camera, upping an already impressive resolution, particularly in low-light environments — meaning FaceTime and Skype users can officially come out of the shadows during work calls, and you won’t have to adjust the lights in your room if you are webcam livestream gaming late into the night. USB compatibility upgraded The software update further improves device compatibility on the display’s three downstream USB-C (480 Mbps) ports.

Get free of the annoying error message “USB device not recognized,” and have your underused USB-C devices leap from zero to hero. Nice to see that one of the biggest problems of USB Type-C can be fixed. LG Screen Manager means ongoing support The LG Screen Manager keeps your UltraFine Monitor up-to-date.

Pretty neat, huh? Even if you’re not already running High Sierra, UltraFine users can now.

Hello, I am currently using a GTX 760 with the latest NVIDIA Web Driver for Sierra. Games like the long dark for mac. In El Capitan, the card recognized the 2560x1080 @ 60Hz resolution natively, but after upgrading to Sierra, the max native resolution is only 1080p. I am able to achieve 2560x1080 by using SwitchResX, but only at a refresh rate of ~53Hz. I also occasionally notice some small artifacts (flickering pixels) on random parts of the screen at random times. It's not unbearable and I can live with it, but I would like to know if anyone has a solution so that I can achieve 2560x1080 @ 60Hz (preferably natively in macOS) like I did in El Capitan.
