Everything works fine, but i can't find a way to turn off the retina display on the macbook and just keep the external monitor as the only screen (in windows/linux, you can simply press win/super+p and cycle through laptop, external, mirror, extend). Choose the best display for your mac Studio display features sensational camera and audio Pro display xdr is designed for pros. Like you, i prefer to just work on the larger display, and keep typing with my laptop keyboard (with the laptop display open only partially and open just enough the i can use the laptop's keyboard). Apple left out the option to select your output display, but there’s a way to get it done easily
