Apple made External Monitors worse, then sold us retina displays

You've answered your own question here. Apple wants you to buy a Studio Display. Ideally they want you to buy a Studio Display XDR. There is absolutely no incentive for them to improve scaling on sub-5K displays, because the people who care mostly end up spending an additional $2,000-$3,000 (I know,

Studio Display XDR Crashes Still Persist

The monitor here is more of a iPhone with a huge display and a thunderbolt input than a typical HDMI monitor though. The macOS updates include updates for the OS running on the Studio Display, so it wasn’t as much the macOS update itself breaking external displays as the OS on the Studio Display bei

MBP 16 inch display ruined me, is Studio Display XDR my only option?

Generally, my experience using the old studio display on Mac just wasn’t ideal. I also really don’t recommend these Apple monitors as gaming monitors because the studio display xdr but also the original studio display and new version of the bass studio display seemingly do no overdrive so everything

Still deciding if the LG 27GM950B-B is a keeper

After having had this monitor for two days, and really wanting to like it, I am leaning towards returning it now. Here are the reasons: Local dimming is bad in desktop apps. Apple gets this right with the same amount of dimming zones and similar native contrast on the Studio Display XDR. Why can no

IPS “sparkle” / micro-grain noise (Kuycon G32P)

My choices are between this and the new Studio Display XDR. And issues like this worry me with the Kuycon as I will have to send it back to China for any faults. Plus I can't get an extended warranty either unlike apple. I hope to go and check out the new Apple display soon though to help me decide.

Studio Display or Kuycon G32P?

Not sure what you mean "how well does it integrate with a Mac"? - It doesn't have speakers or a webcam, so those aren't issues.- It works well with Better Display or MonitorControl, so Brightness levels can be keyboard controlled.- It is a 6k, 32" monitor, so it has perfect retina scaling.- It conne

The Things I Wanted to Know Before Buying Apple's Studio Display XDR

Not super duper scientific, but basically the following: My iPhone does 240fps slowmo. I then have taken 10 videos at different starting points to offset the 4ms drift that can happen in worst-case scenario, and measured the screen. I ended up roughly around 7.6ms. I then have checked the GtG timing

Best Monitor for Print Photography (Eizo CG2700X or Apple Studio Display XDR)

The Studio Display XDR seems really impressive and we’ll need to see how well the mini LED tech performs as it is constantly getting better and I would expect Apple to have a good algorithm. If you can’t tell the difference between it and an OLED then it would almost be a perfect display. I don’t th

Dual Studio Display XDR and MacBook Air M4 Compatibility

I called Apple Care this morning and they have no idea what is causing the issues. I also tested my wife's macbook pro M5 with TB4 ports and had the same issue. Luckily, I still have my 2022 studio displays and they work. I reconnected the old displays with Apple Care on the phone so they know I am
