Studio Display XDR

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,

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

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

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

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

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.

was waiting for this monitor damn, guess I will have to get Apple’s Studio XDR now for nearly triple the price

Studio Display XDR if you don’t mind the price and the standard Apple monitor foibles (one input, no OSD, zero care given to use with sources other than Apple products)

I’m experiencing this exact issue right now with two Studio Display XDRs and a Mac Studio M3 Ultra. I contacted Apple Support today, and they advised me to test both displays with direct connections to the Mac Studio instead of daisy-chaining them. It’s pretty frustrating, especially considering how

The 27-inch Studio Display XDR models are now listed in the US Apple Certified Refurbished store. The standard glass tilt and height adjustable is $400 less than the new one and the nano-texture XDR tilt and height adjustable is $440 off. Still expensive, though.
