I think I found out why. It my Caldigit TS3+ dock.I think this belongs in the Ventura forum but my M1 Studio, M1 iMac, and M1 MBAir all work just fine, no crashing.
Might be worth checking out this thread.Has anyone been able to get the Studio Display working with the new surface laptop 5 ?
Not to jinx myself - but I've had mine for about a week and so far my refurb has been fine.Has anyone who bought a refurb had any issues? I am trying to decide between new and refurb
Yeah that’s what I understand - just curious given it’s a newer product and there have been a few issues. It’s not a huge difference between new and refurb but the savings would certainly be nice.Not to jinx myself - but I've had mine for about a week and so far my refurb has been fine.
As I understand it, Apple does more extensive testing of their refurb products than they do of their new ones. Historically, my last several macs and iphones have been refurbs and they've worked well. I would consider a refurb the best of both worlds; cheaper than their new product and more thoroughly scrutinized.
Do they? I don't have any details for Studio Displays, but in my line of work where I have qualified repair and new product lines, the tests are generally the same.Not to jinx myself - but I've had mine for about a week and so far my refurb has been fine.

Impossible (for me anyway) to tell the difference between the "bought new" and "bought refurb" units.Has anyone who bought a refurb had any issues? I am trying to decide between new and refurb
I am doing the same - will see what BF offers then decide.I've bought Apple-certified refurbs for years without any issues. I won't buy "renewed" from Amazon, or refurbs from anyone other than Apple, though. I'm eyeing a refurb of the Studio Display, but I want to see what their BF sales/gift card offers are first.
I'd imagine if it was Harmon they would have wanted their name somewhere on the spec sheet. I am curious too, though. They're very nice.Anyone knows who made the speakers for the ASD? Is it Harmon or some other high end brand? I ask as they are quite good and have eliminated my consideration of purchasing separate speakers.
Mmmm, who makes HomePod/homepod mini and MacBook Pro speakers, I reckon is Apple themselves.I'd imagine if it was Harmon they would have wanted their name somewhere on the spec sheet. I am curious too, though. They're very nice.
I still love mine also!I still love this thing almost as much as I did the first day I got it.
Likely for twice the price or more! Imagine how the reviewers are going to complain about that one...It’s a pretty great looking monitor, but I imagine it’s going to be seriously outclassed around next March with a miniLED, 120Hz successor.
Given that none of the current Macs can do 120Hz on 5K, you are looking at another 2K at least to spend on some Pro laptop or desktop which can actually hypothetically push out 120Hz at 5K. So in other words, you will need to spend like a real Pro to achieve ProMotion on any new 5K monitor. The cheapest route to it will probably be a new, 3500 dollar iMac Pro, assuming it materialises.If you look at the marginal price increase of the current generation MBPs and recent 4K miniLED monitors, you might be surprised! I’m guessing it will launch at $2K or less.
Is there a minimalist and efficient way for me to keep both MacBooks connected to the ASD at once with the ability to wake one to use the screen and vice versa?
Thanks so much for your thoughts.I do not believe there is, as far as I know there are no Thunderbolt 3/4 input switches.
Your best bet is probably to connect the keyboard to the monitor with a lightning cable, which means the keyboard will follow the computer currently connected to the monitor.
If you do not want to use a non-Apple mouse the simplest solution is probably having one paired to each computer.
If you would consider for example a Logitech MX Anywhere 3 you can have two computers Bluetooth-paired at once and choose which one is active using a switch on the bottom of the mouse. Even better, you could connect the USB RF receiver to the back of the monitor, which would allow the mouse to also automatically follow the computer currently connected to the monitor.
