Probably only introduced the 24inch because of maximum pixel output limitation of M1. The 24inch is 4.5k and it supports one external display up to 6k. A 27”+

Probably only introduced the 24inch because of maximum pixel output limitation of M1. The 24inch is 4.5k and it supports one external display up to 6k.
A 27”+ would require to push at least 5k (possibly 6k) for the internal monitor + 6k for the external
For comparison the M1 Mac mini supports one 4K display and one 6k display. So it seems that this is close to the maximum for the M1 chip
It also means that for us with 5k2k monitors we will not get back our missing scaling options (at least not with M1)
- ____________g 6y agoI doubt they would intentionally limit the internal resolution in order to obtain a high maximum external resolution.
- zekica 6y agoThey do: from mac mini's specs: - HDMI 2.0 with up to 4k60 - Displayport with up to 6k60 and their laptops have lower than 4k resolutions.
- raydev 6y agoYou're forgetting about the Pro Display XDR. They want to make sure their 6k display is supported across their entire lineup. Even the M1 Air supports it.
