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.

Working dual 5k setups for M5 Pro

I would not recommend those ASUS monitors for this application. Multi-monitor support over Thunderbolt docks can be particular. When our documentation says it supports up to dual 5k 120hz monitors, it means it. Dual 5k 180hz monitors, like those ASUS monitors, will likely result in one monitor worki

IPS “sparkle” / micro-grain noise (Kuycon G32P)

My choices are between this and the new Studio Display XDR. And issues like this worry me with the Kuycon as I will have to send it back to China for any faults. Plus I can't get an extended warranty either unlike apple. I hope to go and check out the new Apple display soon though to help me decide.

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

The Things I Wanted to Know Before Buying Apple's Studio Display XDR

Not super duper scientific, but basically the following: My iPhone does 240fps slowmo. I then have taken 10 videos at different starting points to offset the 4ms drift that can happen in worst-case scenario, and measured the screen. I ended up roughly around 7.6ms. I then have checked the GtG timing

Apple Studio Display XDR - Review from an actual owner

I looked into this a bit, and based on what I found, it is plausible that the XDR looks better on text than the standard display, because the XDR differs from the standard for LCD panel + color filters + compensation polarizer + optical-film stack + AR-treated cover-glass system. So some combination

LG 27GM950B 2026 Reddit Review | New Generation Backlight Hype is real ?

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

My first impression of Meirro Pro Display 6K monitor

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 Studio Display XDR vs LG 27GM950B vs Samsung Odyssey G8 G80HF

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
