Upgrading iMac to VESA mount with official Apple parts - DIY

Yeah it's pretty user-hostile. I think the idea is that you buy a new device if you want the VESA mount. I'm sure they sold several hundred extra Studio Displays for just this reason.

Report: Apple ‘nearing’ mass production for M5 MacBook Pros and new Studio Display

I know a lot of people are focusing on Mini LED and 120 Hz (and rightfully so considering how much Apple will probably charge), but I do think the small quality of life improvements matter just as much. Some things I'd like to see: Removable power cable HDMI 2.1 port (unlikely) Multiple Thunderbolt

Apple Studio Display

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

Looking for the BEST monitor for my eyes. I spend 10h a day in front of a computer.

FWIW, I just returned an XDR because of bad eye fatigue/dry eyes. Not sure what caused it. May have been the PWM. YMMV of course, but a DC dimmed monitor may be best for the eyes. The regular Studio Display has no PWM if you want 5k

The LG UltraFine 6K's matt coating

Yeah waiting around for apple's rumored refreshed 5k Studio Display w/ nanotexture & yeah it probably will be overpriced on raw specs but its like everyone else is trying to not get you to buy their products Dell coating isn't quite as bad but not quite as sharp as apple's work either. There's kuyco

Need Windows Desktop compatible with Apple Studio Display

I'm a Mac user but I've read it's difficult and in some cases impossible to set options for and fully use an Apple Studio Display in Windows because the options are so tied into macOS. You won't even be able to apply firmware updates from Windows. If I was a Windows user in your situation, I would c

Studio XDR: To nano or nono?

Personally I find the nano on the MBP to be fine, but the Studio Display nano to be awful.

27-inch 5k Mac monitor

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

One cable setup for Mac and Windows PC the TB3 Apple Studio Display

The Apple Studio Display can accept DisplayPort over USBC, but with caveats. The USBC ports drop to USB 2.0 speeds (480Mbps instead of 5Gbps, or maybe they are 10Gbps I can't remember). Also, I swear I remember reading something that getting to the full 5K is often tricky and a lot of PCs will simpl

LG 27gm950b listed on amazon US

Interesting how high they’re pricing it at. It’s weird because it’s simultaneously competing with Studio Display xdr (worth it in this case) and 27 gaming Oled (not worth it in this case). They fucked up by not making it glossy or having a glossy option.
