Studio Display XDR

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.

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

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

Not sure what you mean "how well does it integrate with a Mac"? - It doesn't have speakers or a webcam, so those aren't issues.- It works well with Better Display or MonitorControl, so Brightness levels can be keyboard controlled.- It is a 6k, 32" monitor, so it has perfect retina scaling.- It conne

My dad has an older M2 Max Max studio, and we had some really severe kernel panics with the studio display XDR, so we did return it. It is also terrifyingly expensive so even a small blip, like that, is enough for us to say it just doesn’t feel worth it. I’m a PC gamer, so I went for the LG GM9 inst

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

Note that "aguynamedben" owns the regular 60Hz ASD, not the ASD XDR. I purchased both the LG GM9 and the Apple Studio Display XDR, I ended up returning the LG. They are not the same. Apple implements local dimming seamlessly across SDR, HDR and mixed content (i.e. LD always on) so the results are be

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. If you can’t tell the difference between it and an OLED then it would almost be a perfect display. I don’t th

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
