    In the subscribers-only section of his weekly newsletter, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman (who has reported accurately on new Apple hardware in the past) claims that Apple will introduce an external Mac monitor that can act as a smart home display when a Mac goes to sleep or is shut down.

    The feature would be available on at least one monitor in an upcoming lineup that will likely include successors to Apple's Pro Display XDR and Studio Display. The newsletter didn't go into much detail about the upcoming displays beyond the smart home feature.

    Like the Studio Display, a new monitor with smart home capabilities would run on a chip first seen in the iPhone. The Studio Display contains Apple's A13 chip—the same seen in the iPhone 11 line of smartphones. The upcoming smart display could potentially run on the A16 seen in the iPhone 14 Pro, since that device introduced a similar always-on display feature to Apple's smartphone lineup.

    LG plans to introduce a 20-inch OLED panel by the end of the year, and unlike most other offerings in this size, it will be used in consumer devices.

    LG is the leading manufacturer of OLED panels for several other device categories, and the company has been making panels for watches, TVs, and smartphones—but this will be the first time the company will make OLEDs suitable for computer monitors or smaller televisions.

    The news comes from South Korean electronics news site The Elec , which reported details from a speech to the Korea Display Industry Association by LG Display Vice President Kang Won-seok.

      Set full RGB to HDMI monitor on Ubuntu

      pubsub.slavino.sk / onetransistor · Monday, 2 August, 2021 - 19:15 edit

    Most common monitors nowadays have 1920x1080 resolution, same as HD TVs. When this resolution is available, some video card drivers, on Linux, will output limited RGB pixel ranges, considering the monitor as a TV. Instead of 8-bit per color (0 to 255), the video card outputs a limited range of 16 to 235 which causes washed out colors, with less bright white and less dark black. This may not be obvious at first sight, especially for regular users when switching to a new monitor.

    Unfortunately, there is no straight fix for this issue on Ubuntu (or other Linux distributions). There are no options in settings app. More than that, the way of fixing this has changed with the new Ubuntu 21.04 which uses Wayland instead of Xorg display server. In this post I will show you how to address this issue on both display servers and get the expected picture colors on your HDMI monitor with Ubuntu.
