Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could give me a DEFINITE answer since I can't seem to find it anywhere (not even at the apple store by a genius).
I own an iMac and I would like to have a 2nd monitor. I was thinking of just purchasing any 3rd party monitor (samsung, hp, benQ, etc) but I was wondering if I were to invest the money into a 2nd thunderbolt display...If I dim/increase the brightness of the monitor via keyboard keys...will it control BOTH monitors and keep the brightness in sync? or will it just dim the main monitor (iMac).
This is my dilemma...I would just buy a 3rd party monitor but often times I work with low light and I don't want to stare at my iMac with a dim screen and have the 2nd monitor be all bright...(annoying) haha.
keep in mind, this will obviously be used in extended desktop mode...not mirroring mode...another reason I was thinking of buying another thunderbolt display was because both monitors would match in terms of having a glossy display...i wouldn't want a glossy iMac and a matte finish 2nd monitor...i'm concerned with eye strain switching because the two...I'm a policy analyst so I stare at documents day in and day out.
Thank you to anyone who can answer this with a definite for sure answer!
