Pro Display XDR - Nano-Texture Glass

Much less angry about the SD XDR pricing now. Being 2X the cost of the Studio Display was unreasonable, but being ~66% of the cost of the Pro Display XDR with better brightness/color accuracy/connectivity/local dimming is a much more sensible interpretation. Yes, it got a little smaller, but ergonom

There are other "cheap" medical grade monitors. For example, this one from LG is about $3000: https://solutions.lg.com/us/diagnostic-monitors/lg-32hl512d-b The Apple display's specs are pretty outrageous. It's definitely in a niche, but it's the first and only occupant of that niche. The odd thing a

I hope they just do basically the same monitor in two sizes. Mini-LED, ProMotion, available in 5K 27" or 6K 32". Having a fully separate Pro Display XDR doesn't make much sense anymore now that you can achieve similar color and backlight performance in a cheaper mini-LED backlit display.

Yeah, that doesn’t exist. Also, image quality is kind of a vague thing. OLD is in a lot of ways worse than IPS when it comes to productivity and that’s the biggest reason people are buying these very high resolution monitors. This year we are getting 5K 27 inch 165 Hz mini LED panels OLED does not s

Used it for a week as my primary work monitor then the weekend for personal use. Main takeaway: the new tech does not overcome going from 32” to 27” (I have 2 pro display XDR). Issues of blooming or really edge cases in my day to day. 120hz was barely a difference in my workflow I’ll miss having thu

Yes, that’s right. Apple doesn’t make its own display panels, and there isn’t a mini led 6K panel available. Maybe the Pro Display XDR will come back at some point. LG is coming out with its own 5K that uses the same mini led panel, apparently in Q2 but there’s no release date or price yet. Will lik

The local dimming is significantly improved over the Pro Display XDR, wow

You’re welcome. I think the nano is very subjective and user dependent. Compared to the glossy it was washed out. Upon walking in first time my 12yo son said “that monitor on left all the whites look gray dad.”

Believe it or not I was actually quite disappointed with the Pro Display XDR - I bought one used and only had it for a few months before selling it again because on top of some minor uniformity issues, the monitor has surprisingly bad off-axis-vignetting & also off-axis color shifting in the whites.

Honestly, my Pro Display XDR (which I bought when the Studio Display XDR was announced) has an uneven enough backlight that I'm sometimes wondering if true 10-bit even is really a benefit of this particular model. And I'm guessing even if the Studio Display XDR is 8-bit+FRC that the computer still s
