That's funny.... Not...
Now if you want to send me a few free ones.. we can talk.
This is the way. I use the feedback link and report to the other party regularly.
I usually upgrade a month or two before the next OS rolls out, but sometimes I’ll go sooner if I’m reading enough positives about it.
Seems like I will keep my 16" i9 on Big Sur 'til the end of the year at this point...
On the orher hand, 12.3 solved the software problem with fan noise (overheating gpu) with external monitor and opened lid. Unless you have Radeon 5600M, where this problem not occured, you should experience it.
This might explain the new display issues I have. I bought a Samsung M7 4K 32” display and my MBP M1 simply won’t detect it.
Weirdly, if I turn the display off and attach it, it appears on the display settings.
The moment I turn the monitor on, it disappears but the display settings are screwed until I unplug the USB-C connector.
I thought it was a cable issue so I’ve ordered a new USB-C to HDMI lead, but now I’ve read this, it could be this issue….
Damned annoying!

Well, this is a video interface. And SDI is kind of a big deal Prosumer/Pro interface. Not quite as long-in-the-tooth for support as firewire.

Yes, I was somewhat just chiming on to my prior post in this thread. I do NOT want to have to even try the firewire option but the external USB random disconnects are making me crazy. Several times today, whether hooked directly to Studio or hub and trying 2 different cables even though the primary one was linked to an Intel iMac for several YEARS and never did this.
It's exactly this kind of stuff that cannot happen. Ever. Minor bugs in fringe use cases that actually slip through QA - okay. Unreliable interaction with some very exotic hardware - alright. But something like this is clearly unacceptable, especially when there is no way for a user to at least work around it until a permanent fix is available.
Just can't happen.

I keep forgetting that Apple doesn't support MST. Same with the continual re-remembering that Lightning on iPhone is still USB 2.0.
Like, why not make these ports more useful?
Until Apple no longer supports iOS updates on the A13Only Studio Displays are allowed from here on out.
I still have bad memory leaks in Safari, the finder and other apps in 12.3.
BAD. very BAD
The future of macOS scares me.

I brought my 2021 MacBook Pro 16, running 12.3, to test with my Dell U2720Q (Ultrasharp 4K USB-C 27 inch monitor). I hooked it up with a USB-C cable (Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Cable, 0.5 meters) and it worked without any problems. I then hooked them up with a USB-C to DisplayPort cable supporting 8K 60 Hz and, again, no problems. I bought these cables based on discussions last November and December on MacRumors talking about how picky Apple Silicon was with cables.
I'd say make sure that the cables you use specifically support the resolution and frequency that your monitor supports. Some cables also only support DisplayPort 1.2 which may be a potential area for problems.

Can you provide a link to the USB-C to display port cable you are using?
The one I have that doesn't work for me is from best buy. I didn't think of the cable was for 1.2 or 1.4. That's a good point.
I'm pretty sure that I got this recommendation from one of the MacRumors forums as I was unfamiliar with Cable Matters before.

It took some time after updating my M1 MBA, but it suddenly would NOT recognize My 32" LG 4K monitor via USB-C. I tried all the usual tricks with no luck. Finally, switching to HDMI fixed the problem. But if this is an issue with the Mac Studio and its single HDMI port, it's going to be a real problem for me. When the Mac Studio finally gets here, that is.
Apple often has had bad dual-monitor support, which hurts because I have always used 2 or 3 monitors in the last decade or so. I knew someone at Apple who did likewise, and refused to upgrade his OS any more, after 2 years of broken dual-monitor support, because he didn't want to go through the frustration again. I'm finally at the point where my 2015 iMac *finally* works right almost 100% of the time with an extra monitor, but it's taken years of updates for it to have finally gotten to this point.
