Thanks to Juicy Crumb Systems' latest creation, it's never been easier to convert an obsolete 2011 27" iMac into a beautiful and unique external display. Put that gorgeous 2560 x 1440 display to a better use with the Juicy Crumb Dock range of products.

I have been asked by many how this upgrade differs from the cheap, generic LCD driver boards available on eBay and AliExpress. Unlike those, the Juicy Crumb uses the original iMac power supply and backlight inverter, allowing for a far brighter viewing experience and a much easier installation. And I can vouch for the brightness – it is spectacular!

Others have been comparing the Juicy Crumb price to some of the cheap QHD displays available on the market. The Juicy Crumb 27" iMac is now my primary display, and it sits right next to an expensive Samsung QHD display. The Juicy Crumb is far superior, so if you do want to do a price comparison, make sure you compare with a quality QHD display.
