I feel like every time there’s a firmware upgrade, Apple takes away a feature or makes something worse.

What could they change or fix?
I just got two studio displays and wonder how one goes about updating the firmware. Magical incantation I assume...but eye of newt or what?

It’s just through software update. It will show a notification like any other, then you have to reboot.I just got two studio displays and wonder how one goes about updating the firmware. Magical incantation I assume...but eye of newt or what?

pretty much the same as you do your os to dev betas...I just got two studio displays and wonder how one goes about updating the firmware. Magical incantation I assume...but eye of newt or what?
Saying stuff like this without showing why, only perpetuates the same false feelings for others making the issue seem larger than it actually is. Take the AirPods recent noise cancellation chagne. 2 updates ago, it got worse likely to avoid patent problems they are having with, the last update however has reimplemted a new form of noise cancellation that is up to par with the previous version. I ride a subway 1 hour to and from work, and there's a stretch of it that has a high pitched screeching noise which in the most recent version is back to being muffled in the background.I feel like every time there’s a firmware upgrade, Apple takes away a feature or makes something worse.

Some LG 5K owners have been reporting resolution issues when they unplug and plug back into their external displays.What could they change or fix?
I've actually been getting that a bit too so I'm gonna go check to see if there also some firmware updates from LG for my LG 5K.

That’s interesting. Has there been a display firmware update for every version of iOS?

if the Studio Display has a Wi-Fi connection, could it function like a smart TV? Could it install apps like Netflix and Roku? Can it connect a Mac wirelessly?

Why the need to say something like that. I assume you now fear upgrades on every Apple product/software. How can you feel that way and use Apple stuff? It's absurd and makes someone look very unwise. If Apple were really this bad, no one would use their products. And its simply not true. Please stop spreading Apple hate. It's outgrown its welcome and most people are tired of it. Thanks.I feel like every time there’s a firmware upgrade, Apple takes away a feature or makes something worse.

It’s still hilarious to me that this monitor is part of the iOS family. It makes sense for Apple, I get it. Why use a different SoC and firmware set when you already have one. Just blows my mind that a monitor has a full SoC and runs iOS.

It just works. No need to worry about strange words like firmware.I just got two studio displays and wonder how one goes about updating the firmware. Magical incantation I assume...but eye of newt or what?
Seriously though you’ll probably just get it through System Update when the new macOS release comes out.

Nice, I like comments like this that mention real issues with good examples. I too have gotten a bit wary of updates lately but it’s for specific reasons and overly negative general comments don’t help.pretty much the same as you do your os to dev betas...

Really, being afraid of updates is as old as computers. One should be afraid, and wait for others to take the plunge. But I think most of us on this forum, myself included, just can’t help ourselves and dive right in on Apple Update Day.

Every LG display I have seen has been flaky in exactly this way. I doubt there will ever be any firmware updates. Had the same issue years ago on Windows too.Some LG 5K owners have been reporting resolution issues when they unplug and plug back into their external displays.

Well, to be fair, I've had intermittent problems with all of my external displays, including Apple branded ones. It's been so rocky in the past that I used to wait a minimum of 6 months before updating to new OS versions in hopes that the display issues get discovered and ironed out before I have to deal with them.Every LG display I have seen has been flaky in exactly this way.

Nah, they work great. But all software can improve. Or perhaps there's some in-the-wild edge case that's being addressed. The software developer part of my brain is curious; the monitor using part doesn't really care.that is, a year after the release, display still does not work properly?

Dual LG Ergo 32“ monitors. No firmware update. Just works.
Maybe they turn the Studio Display into the rumored bigger iPad.
