Studio Display XDR

Same experience as sunvsthemoon here, it's not even close to the XDR.I bought both to test, returned the LG GM950B and kept the Studio Display XDR. The Apple has seamless and elegant local dimming implementation, deep blacks and beautiful color / contrast across SDR / HDR / mixed content without tou

The reference I have is a MacBook M5 Max and I consider the display comparable with Apple Studio XDR, the clarity and color of my M5 Max is essentially the same as Meirro. Kuycon G32P on the other hand, even after some fixing, has some minor color tinting and more importantly I recently tested the g

Apple released a significant firmware update (Version 26.4) today, March 24, 2026, specifically for the new Studio Display (2026) and the Studio Display XDR that launched earlier this month. While Apple’s official release notes are often "concise" (to put it politely), early documentation and user r

I'm using Razer Raptor 27" but looks like it's not widely available now. As photographer you might want to look at any calibrated monitor with at least 100% sRGB coverage. As example, you could look at Dell Ultrasharp series which is widely used by photographers (non-professionals). At the same time

On the Pro Display XDR, the blooming is noticeably worse, the uniformity is far worse due to the backlight being uneven across its zones, and the viewing angl

I have an M4 Max/128 GB/4TB that I use as a graphic designer. Most of my work is retail packaging, with some trade show/display work, social media, video, and web design thrown in. I tend to buy high spec and hold onto it as long as possible. But I couldn't justify the jump to 256 GB when I bought i

Got mine for some days now, paired with my 14" M3 Max MacBook Pro. I got the glossy one, because Nano Texture ruins sharpness for me and I really don't need it either. I work with photo and video, doing editing and color, and I am very very sensitive to picture quality. I have to say that overall is

I'll be honest, I've always wanted the Studio Display but it's always been well out of my budget. About 5 years ago I think bought a Dell UltraSharp 27" 4K which was a massive upgrade coming from a crappy AOC 24" 1080p TN panel.As I use my parents M4 iMac when visiting them I do notice the amount of

I've been on the exact same journey, so maybe my experience will save you some time (and returns). I wanted to upgrade from my ASD to something bigger/better, so I tried a few options along the way: Kuycon G32P — Bought it, returned it. Three major issues for me: terrible panel uniformity (edges not

Yeah man that's bad. Some people are just more sensitive to the PWM flickering. Have you upgraded the monitor firmware? The latest firmware seems to have reduced the flickering somewhat: Apple released a significant firmware update (Version 26.4) today, March 24, 2026, specifically for the new Studi
