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,

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

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

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.

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.

Only 1 will work at a time. Same issue on my work m4 pro MacBook 14in. I spent 3 hours

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.

Fair enough. The local dimming "works" the few times I used it for gaming, but that feature didn't matter a ton to me vs. the quality difference between the Asus JCG vs. LG GM9. You're not really supposed to use local dimming + HDR for office work, and it doesn't matter for my use cases (10 hours of
