Studio Display XDR

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,

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

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

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

UPDATE: I brought my Dell Latitude 3520 work laptop into the Apple Store and plugged it into the SD XDR using the Thunderbolt 5 cable and could not get it above 1080p 60hz. It showed “Wired Display” in settings and I wasn’t able to control brightness (not surprised). But it looked beautiful even at

I’ve engaged Apple about it but lots of posts about this with 2 Studio Display XDRs. They should be able to both run at 60 at a minimum and having 2 only lights up on an m4 pro. I have 2 machines and swap between an m4 pro for work and an m4 max for personal use and the max is perfect on all cases.

As much as I love the Apple aesthetics and all that, I would never suggest someone buy a $1600 monitor. There’s a case to be made for the Studio Display XDR but then again not at that price. Also, OP clearly said he doesn’t need a 4K display so why would he need 5K? 1080p or 1440p is more than enoug

Yeah, like the other person said, Apple built what you wanted 6 years ago.They were and still are far ahead of the game. It's been out so long it was discontinued recently, with the release of the Studio Display XDR (5K 27" miniLED 120Hz with 2304 dimming zones, the Pro Display XDR was 6K 32" but ha

Honestly, I think the issue was just that only I think the M4 pro and Max and M5 pro and Max support it. I think what we might see is that with M6 you get thunderbolt five on the base chip and then they will probably feel a bit more comfortable releasing 6K 120 monitor. Like 5K120 is supported as fa

Yeah, plus the better PQ the Apple will have, I mean watching video of the Kuycon next to the old 32” Pro Display XDR and the Pro Display clearly has better PQ. Plus I was looking at Kef speakers and stands which as I am in the UK cost around £1300, add that to the roughly £1300 Kuycon monitor price
