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,

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

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

Studio Display or Kuycon G32P?
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

Apple Studio Display XDR - Review from an actual owner
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

Has anyone tested the Studio Display (XDR) on Intel Macs / Windows PCs yet?
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

Incredibly frustrated with the new studio display XDR
I’ve engaged Apple about it but lots of posts about this with 2 Studio Display XDRs. They should be able to both run at 60 at a minimum and having 2 only lights up on an m4 pro. I have 2 machines and swap between an m4 pro for work and an m4 max for personal use and the max is perfect on all cases.
