Apple Pro Display XDR Still Worth It?
lol. No. There is no monitor that “annihilates” the Studio XDR. I own it. I would agree that it’s not worth the price, but making a statement like yours is ridiculous. Especially if you don’t own and use it daily to understand what it does. Update: You edited your comment and still yet again are com

Monitor Recommendation for MacBook Pro M5 Pro Chip
What’s your budget? I run the Apple Studio Display XDR and it’s quite frankly the best monitor money can buy for a Mac.

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

LG 27GM950B - Setup and early impressions
I’m happy to hear something a bit positive. So far, I’ve heard quite a few negative reviews. I do think the uniformity issue is unfortunate. Beyond that, I’m more of a gamer, so for me, I don’t mind the aesthetic of it all. I don’t love it, I must admit, but I prefer it to doing a Kuycon and just co

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

Working dual 5k setups for M5 Pro
I would not recommend those ASUS monitors for this application. Multi-monitor support over Thunderbolt docks can be particular. When our documentation says it supports up to dual 5k 120hz monitors, it means it. Dual 5k 180hz monitors, like those ASUS monitors, will likely result in one monitor worki

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.
