Studio Display

man the studio display xdr is probably one of apple's best worst products. on one hand, it's an awesome display with a high resolution and great color accuracy. on the other hand, it's pretty buggy (atleast from what i've seen, i don't actually own one). so buggy that updating it might brick it, lik

It’s not great. The rumour is that we’ll get a studio displayed 2 this year which is kind of corroborated by both Samsung and LG announcing 5K 27 inch panels this year presumably Apple might have pitted them against each other to make a panel so we’ll see which one they’ve put in the next studio dis

I consider myself a Retina display connoisseur. I tried the Studio Display years ago and quickly returned it because it wasn’t noticeably better than my LG 5Ks (see below). I tried the Samsung Viewfinity S9 and hated it. The matte coating made everything look really low quality. It wants to be more

I own the Studio display XDR and as hybrid user I can say is only in Apple ecosystem (HiDPi, DCI-P3) but useless in AdobeRGB Colorspace (very low coverage) for pro printing/editing and about only 80% in Bt.2020. Compared to my other mini LEDs have worst LD algorithm. As for LG's GM9 I think share th

Well, TVs are an entirely different market and to be entirely honest just a bigger screen is not necessarily harder to do. The pixel density of the studio display XDR is four times that of the 83 inch lg tv. It’s also much brighter for full screen brightness which is important for productivity use w

from the specs of the studio display it'll be about 81% rec2020, iirc the pg32uqx is around 85-87, so you'd be getting it just for the 5k and ppi while the color gamut is lower.

I use a Studio Display and it’s been great for the past few years, I like the build quality and the integration with macOS. However, in 2026 the 60hz refresh rate really feels outdated, even the outstanding colour and resolution can’t make up for the overall experience. Avoid unless you barely need

Honestly, my Pro Display XDR (which I bought when the Studio Display XDR was announced) has an uneven enough backlight that I'm sometimes wondering if true 10-bit even is really a benefit of this particular model. And I'm guessing even if the Studio Display XDR is 8-bit+FRC that the computer still s

I played around with the XDR Studio Display at the Apple Store yesterday and I am absolutely sure I would notice if I had one and it was replaced in the middle of the night. The 120Hz vs 60Hz is really easy for me to notice. Color wise it might be tougher for me to notice, though I’m sure the amount

The way I see it, the Apple Studio Display is not a bad product if you ignore everything else on the market. The new non-XDR has all the same crap as the previous 5K Studio Display, namely: Single input means you can't even switch between e.g personal vs work Mac. 60 Hz refresh rate. Likely pixel re
