Have not been able to connect any other HDMI device I've tried (iPad Pro, old Apple. TV). Lates firmware version (20180129) from Onyx website.
I use the Max 2 as a second monitor on my Macbook Pro (2011). Everything works fine but I also have to choose the settings marcosscriven mentioned before: grayscale, changed contrast and so on.

Unfortunately the glossiness is really bad when using the MacBook as you can see in the pictures. It is pixelated and I have to zoom in a lot to get a clear and convenient contrast.

Interestingly, when I push refresh for a really short moment the pixels are away. What makes no sense to me is that the same happens when I disconnect the HDMI--> The last picture of the screen is awesome for a short moment and becomes grainy again. Maybe the Max 2 just refreshes the last signal from the graphic input channel but actually I have no idea about IT stuff


Using another old Laptop from Toshiba via HDMI the quality is just great.


Btw, nice forum! Couldn't find such thing in German(y) regarding the issue and/or the politeness of the users
