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

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

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

Follow up - Keeping the LG 27GM950B-B

I’ve been eyeing this display for a while. I have a 2022 Apple Studio Display now so upgrading to a mini-led one like the Studio Display XDR or this LG model is something I’ve been thinking about. I have a couple questions. How does the matte finish look to you compared to the glossy finish on a Stu

Kuycon.it Legit or Scam?

Thanks for the update, I'm thinking to buy the same. Out of curiosity have you tried a (glossy) Apple Studio Display (XDR or not) and if so how do you think it compares to it in terms of image quality/glossy-ness? I'm basically hesitating between the two but the Kuycon is clearly much easier to conn

Best Monitor for Print Photography (Eizo CG2700X or Apple Studio Display XDR)

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
