And—BTW—did you go HDMI or DisplayPort for your monitor? I tried HDMI with my new monitor on my Mac Pro and it looked like crap, so I went with DP. I’ll need to get my hands on a different kind of cable to run DP with the Mac Studio.

Re: Dead Mac Pro
I know it's a pain, Rick... I'm so sorry you have to go through this. You are in store for a treat though. Apple Silicon is just a whole new break through experience.Rick Cornish wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2023 9:56 amOn reflection (and after half a dozen other futile attempts to get my Mac Pro revived), I decided to order a Mac Studio.

Re: Dead Mac Pro
I use a 40" 4k TV as my main display, connected via HDMI using the built-in Mac Studio HDMI port. I have a second smaller 16:10display connected via a USBc to Display Port adaptor. The TV looks good to me, but I am not a graphics pro. I have set the TV to Game Mode and 4:4:4 Chroma.Rick Cornish wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2023 3:29 pm And—BTW—did you go HDMI or DisplayPort for your monitor?

Buy a cable from a place to which it can be returned if you are concerned.

Re: Dead Mac Pro
Sounds like the power supply died. I had that happen on an 09 MP. '
Here's hoping all your plugins migrated to Apple Silicon, and they aren't "updated" for Apple Silicon.

I actually got fresh downloads of all my plugs and checked each one in PlugInfo. Right now, I’m only running two plugs under Rosetta and they’re both meters, so i don’t believe they affect the signal chain.
