Upgrading iMac to VESA mount with official Apple parts - DIY

Yeah it's pretty user-hostile. I think the idea is that you buy a new device if you want the VESA mount. I'm sure they sold several hundred extra Studio Displays for just this reason.

Report: Apple ‘nearing’ mass production for M5 MacBook Pros and new Studio Display

I know a lot of people are focusing on Mini LED and 120 Hz (and rightfully so considering how much Apple will probably charge), but I do think the small quality of life improvements matter just as much. Some things I'd like to see: Removable power cable HDMI 2.1 port (unlikely) Multiple Thunderbolt

The LG UltraFine 6K's matt coating

Yeah waiting around for apple's rumored refreshed 5k Studio Display w/ nanotexture & yeah it probably will be overpriced on raw specs but its like everyone else is trying to not get you to buy their products Dell coating isn't quite as bad but not quite as sharp as apple's work either. There's kuyco

Need Windows Desktop compatible with Apple Studio Display

I'm a Mac user but I've read it's difficult and in some cases impossible to set options for and fully use an Apple Studio Display in Windows because the options are so tied into macOS. You won't even be able to apply firmware updates from Windows. If I was a Windows user in your situation, I would c

Studio XDR: To nano or nono?

Personally I find the nano on the MBP to be fine, but the Studio Display nano to be awful.

27-inch 5k Mac monitor

I consider myself a Retina display connoisseur. I tried the Studio Display years ago and quickly returned it because it wasn’t noticeably better than my LG 5Ks (see below). I tried the Samsung Viewfinity S9 and hated it. The matte coating made everything look really low quality. It wants to be more

One cable setup for Mac and Windows PC the TB3 Apple Studio Display

The Apple Studio Display can accept DisplayPort over USBC, but with caveats. The USBC ports drop to USB 2.0 speeds (480Mbps instead of 5Gbps, or maybe they are 10Gbps I can't remember). Also, I swear I remember reading something that getting to the full 5K is often tricky and a lot of PCs will simpl

Mac Studio desktop setup + some tests

The monitor is the LG Ultrafine 4K 27UP85NP, and I'm really happy with it. Before buying it, I went to an Apple store to see the Studio Display in person, and there were three things I wasn't convinced about: The screen is glossy, sometimes it looks like a mirror, which can be quite annoying. I didn

Keyboard + Mouse suggestions?

The macnally keyboard is excellent for $49 Agree the others that the MX mouse is tops Its unforgivable that apple doesnt have face recognition on a mac with an apple studio display magic mouse is a terrible POS I actively dislike and clearly designed to yank the chain of apple customers. Oh hey l ne

Actually loving the new standard Studio Display?

Sure, like I said, if you aren’t a techy person and are “looking for the apple style clean set up with no accessories other than basically a keyboard and mouse” that is fine. I explicitly carved that out in my original comment because I know some people care about that, but the built in speakers are
