M1 iMac with two external display issues

Sledneck55 · 10-25-2023, 03:59 PM

Well, My display link works but..... It is causing havoc with my external hard drives. My Time Machine drive and other external storage devices. They are connected directly to my iMac. I'm constantly getting "drive not ejected properly" errors when my iMac goes into sleep mode. I see the errors when I wake my machine.
Another issue I have is, if I have a browser window open on my iMac screen with multiple tabs and drag one of the tabs to another connected display its refresh rate drops to an unusable rate. I have to move the entire web browser session to the other display which kinda defeats the purpose of having multiple external displays.
Anyone else experiencing these issues?
