@billybuck092, awesome -- thank you for sharing your experience!
Glad to hear it! So no need to fuss with a TB3 connection??...Im super happy with my new monitor!!
Everything is super crisp and sharp! Today I worked at Photoshop and fcpx and the experience with this monitor was amazing!!
Not really I think. But I will try it out just to share my results with other ppl who are interested for 5k monitors over tb connection.Glad to hear it! So no need to fuss with a TB3 connection??
Because DisplayPort 1.2 supports 4K at 60Hz, most 4K monitors are DP 1.2 (even if they have a USB-C video input [not Thunderbolt]). When we step up to 5K and 8K monitors we need DP 1.4. The Alpine Ridge Thunderbolt controller does not support DP 1.4. But Titan Ridge on the Designare fully supports DP 1.4.
Apple, however, plays a trick with 5K monitors by sending two DP 1.2 streams to the monitor at the same time.

You guys have tremendously helped me in getting the 128GB of RAM working. However, running MemTest I ran into some problems ... these are the results:

This is what my configuration on Clover looks like (it goes on with Slot 6 and 7, as I have full 128GB of memory installed):

To be sure: this is the Memtest I ran (as recommended in the trouble shooting guide):
MemTest for Mac OS X Tests your RAM
If you have recently upgraded your Mac RAM, or if you are experiencing strange system crashes, it’s a good idea to test your memory modules integrity using a free tool called memtest. Essenti…osxdaily.com
I don't think the RAM is not working hardware wise, as I also did a full memory test running windows and no mistakes were showing up. Could these mistakes be just due to the wrong attribution of 8 slots vs the actual 4 slots? Did you also do that Memtest? What were the results?
I searched a lot about this monitor and It's actually the first time I hear about this issue. Time will tell though. I will keep you updated.@CaseySJ - Ahhh! I think I understand now. Thank you for all the clarification!
@skroutz999 - did you buy an LG 34Wk95U? I absolutely love that monitor, but I've read that many people had image retention (maybe burn-in) due to the "nano" part of the nano IPS technology. I'm curious what your experience will be over the next few weeks. If you can, keep us updated on how you like it!
Thanks for checking it out! If you look two post further, I have found out that there was not Memtest problem showing up on my backup. So, probably FakeSMC replacement with VirtualSMC or some of the other modifications of "going the extra mile" has caused it.I just ran a test in single user mode which has been on my todo list for awhile. I ran memtest all 1 for one round of testing.
It took almost 5 hours to complete but I did not get any errors at any point.
