Get a Mac they said. It'll clean up your setup they said...🫣

Most of my friends crap on me for buying an Apple Studio Display, but I have to say, it really did away with the nightmare of having to utilize a docking station, desktop speakers, and a million cables. Is it too late to return the mini?

Apple discontinues Pro Display XDR

The brightness and actual capability to display HDR is a hit or miss comparison with the Studio Display The Strix is a decent monitor, no doubt, but it's not actually an HDR display. It has nowhere near the peak brightness combined with high contrast to actually take advantage of HDR content. It's f

Studio Display XDR owners, what are your opinions on the display?

Absolutely incredible. I bought two for SE dev work. Yes completely overkill, but wanted pro or Studio Displays for years and finally pulled the trigger. Guaranteed I could have gotten away with 2 of the non-XDRs (when I’m on my work machine I only get 60hz on both and my personal I get 120hz on bot

Do all 5K monitors have this grainy matte coating?

I was on a 5k glossy quest with a PC for all of 2025. Tried every offering currently available as new. Sadly, they all have aggressive AR matte coatings - except Apple’s Studio Display. But I could not get it to work with my 3070 (the internet says you can, so I must be an idiot. I tried.). One hono

M5 Max MacBook Pro + XDR Display: Worth the upgrade?

The BenQ MA270S is a glossy 5K 70Hz panel. It's $1000 (probably will go on sale frequently too) so with the money you save you can buy your own webcam and speakers, which will be far better than the built in Apple option. Or, for the webcam, you can use your phone! For outputs, it has thunderbolt 4,

UPDATE: Mac mini M4 Arrived and I’ve Got Follow-Up Questions as a New Mac User.

I wouldn't necessarily say that they don't look right if you are not on 220, but they are a bit off on the ideal. The question really is whether getting to the ideal is worth the cost of admission on a 5k or 6k display? For me, that answer was an absolute no. But I also don't use my Mac 24 hours a d

Actually loving the new Studio Display?

Made a similar comment in another thread. I did a deep dive to pair a monitor with my M4 mini. 2 weeks after saying "No effing way I'm paying that for the Studio Display", I went to the Apple Store and picked it up. The combination of DPI. resolution, size, integrated peripherals and build quality r

I like it clean and vibrant

If I really need a second display, I have another one I pull out for large projects. Otherwise I have all the space I need with the Studio Display. Creating simplicity helps with focus
