Can you tell these are Apple Thunderbolt displays?

Exactly. I have two purchased in 2011, still work beautifully 15 years later, just a tad dimmer. One of them is paired as a secondary with a 2022 Studio Display.

Apple Studio Display XDR Review: We're All Pros Now!

Hot take, but the loudest complainers of every iteration of the Studio Display are the ones who have to try really hard to justify the purchase and don't actually own or use one daily. I actually own a Studio Display and use it every day for work as a designer, personal usage and light gaming. Now g

Studio Display XDR is native 10 bit?

nobody likes to publish this, unfortunately. it is very hard to find out if displays are actually native bit depths. a professional display should be 10bit and for the price, studio display is it (it needs it for HD). i think in your case it is 10bit+dithering for 12bit, switch that off. do not get

Two New Apple Displays Nearing Mass Production, May Launch This Year

Aren’t they insanely expensive? Compared to what? I paid more for my iPhone that I will only keep for 3 years than i did for my Studio Display that I will have for 10+ years. I’ve never understood the attraction compared to just another far cheaper monitor. Same as buying the higher quality, more ex

Best all around 5K monitor for Mac?

The Apple Studio Display runs circles around those in terms of overall build quality, display quality, audio quality, and so on.

Apple Polishing Cloth for $6.99 on Woot

From an earlier Reddit thread about the polishing cloth, on why it exists. I think the author of this piece and other people (even Apple fans) do not realize that this cloth is solely meant for users of Nanotexture display glass (edit: it’s actually the glass, not a coating.) It’s not a general purp

How to prevent/clean dust for studio display XDR since the vents are on top?

If it’s anything like the first gen Studio Display, the internal fans are almost on at a low rpm, drawing a small draft up through the chassis, thus preventing much dust buildup on top. I haven’t had much accumulation on mine over the past year — an occasional swiffer has helped keep it tidy. Having

LG 5k 27 MINILED 120 HZ launching soon ($1200)

I would rather save for the Studio Display. Some people just don’t get why people would pay for beautiful things.

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

Thanks for that, interesting read. I intend to upgrade my computer later this spring/summer from a 2015 Retina 5k iMac to a Mac Mini, so I'll need a monitor. I've been using this 5K iMac every day for work (front-end web dev) for eleven years and I don't want to step back to a 4K resolution for pret
