    Trade off between contrast ratio and blooming etc - changing my mind about the ASD

    Interested in people's thoughts on this. I have read so much negative stuff about the Apple Studio Display - primarily that it's overpriced for old technology. Perhaps that is actually true - I'm not suggesting it isn't. While there seems to be a lot of hate out there (especially in YouTube...

    Apple Studio Display - contrast ratio and depth of blacks

    I know the ASD contrast ratio is fairly standard for an IPS display and that with no local dimming, the depth of blacks is supposed to be unimpressive. I'm interested in what people think of it for watching movies/streaming etc? Is the experience ok, especially in low light conditions? I read...

    Display scaling experience with multiple 4K monitors

    Hi, I'm keen to hear about real world experiences for people using three or more 4K monitors with a recent Mac. I have an iMac Pro and I've noticed for some time that the fans seem to constantly run and there can often be lag in moving/resizing app windows. I don't really do any heavy...

    Best 27" display for a late 2013 Macbook Pro with the highest ppi?

    I'm looking for the closest resolution to the retina screen as I can find, while still being compatible with my older macbook pro (13" late 2013). I don't like blocky text and that's most important to me in terms of improvement. I have a 4k 27" msi monitor and the text is not great. It's scaled...

    Samsung Viewfinity S9 — First sign of it in the wild

    First time seeing this in the hands of a consumer. He's a little harsh on it at times, so doesn't come off as a paid promotion. What do people think about this?

    Monitor options

    A couple of months ago, I bought a factory-refurbished M1 Mac Mini from Apple direct. Since that time, I franken-patched the Mac Mini to a very old Acer LCD display. For the most part, this works, but I want to move on to a higher-quality modern display. I may also buy a 14-inch MacBook Pro in...

    Any upcoming 5k monitors?

    Now that the studio display is out, are there any competing 5k monitors on the horizon? I currently use a 1440p monitor and would like to get a 5k monitor so it's scaled properly but the big barrier stopping me getting the Apple studio display or the LG Ultrafine 5k is that I need to use it with...
