    Sit and stand with Studio Display or Pro Display XDR?

    Can owners of the SD or XDR comment on how well the height-adjustable stand or pro stand work for switching from sitting to standing? That is, if I'm teaching online, and want to stand up, will these expensive Apple stands give me the height change that I need, without any need for a special...

    Pairing ProMotion Mac with Studio Display?

    I'm planning to pair a 2021 MacBook Pro with a Studio Display. But it looks like the Studio Display does not have ProMotion 120hz. So the MBP screen is supposed to be a lot smoother in scrolling and animations. I use the screen mainly for coding so I guess 120hz isn't that important, but I...

    Does the Apple Studio Display constantly charge a MacBook Pro Mojave ?

    Apple Studio Display - does this charge the MacBook all the time when plugged into a 2018 edition MacBook Pro, macOS Mojave 10.14.6 which I have not intention of upgrading ? 1. I prefer something that doesn't charge my MacBook Pro unnecessarily even after 100%. 2. Is there a way for the Studio...

    I managed to extract the marketing screensavers for the Studio Display from an Apple Store demo unit

    I spent a while in a store trying to extract this screen saver after asking an employee and being told he had no idea how to get it or even if they would. After some digging I managed to extract it and airdrop it to my iPhone 😂😂 All of the demo computers run a web server that hosts the...

    Hi everyone, I’ve been thinking of getting a monitor for my 2021 16” MacBook Pro for software development, so I went to an electronics store yesterday to check out some monitors. As you would expect, the Studio Display caught my attention with its exceptional build quality compared to other...

    Mac Studio – Wake from sleep – Desktop picture not stretching to fill Desktop

    On wake from sleep the Mac Studio's Desktop Picture is shown in actual resolution instead of stretched to fit screen. For example, a picture which is 2059 × 1371 is shown at that resolution on a Studio Display screen and so only fills about 60% of the screen area. It starts with the picture...

    Studio Display brightness control issues

    I noticed it is possible to control display Brightness only when using the default Apple Display (600 nits) color gamut profile/preset. When using any other presets, for instance P3-DCI, P3-D65, the brightness control is grayed out. In the P3-DCI the display is very dark, barely visible what is...

    Studio display does not work with older versions of MacOS

    I have a Studio display which I just had to return because it does not work with my work laptop locked to Catalina due to a corporate policy. I had assumed the requirement for macOS 12.3 or higher was only for supporting things like center stage and hey Siri. This is not the case. When...

    Okay. I have been searching everywhere and can’t find any info. Can someone confirm/measure the width of the bottom of the studio display stand? Apple lists the depth but not the width. I am looking to make a custom stand for my display to raise it up a bit but it hasn’t even shipped yet. TIA

    SwitchResX broken clamshell mode?

    I was playing around with SwitchResX today on my M1 MBA with Apple Studio Display. Now, clamshell mode is no longer working... If I log in as test user, it works. I have (I think) completely removed SwitchResX and clamshell mode still not working. Very frustrated right now. Any ideas?

    So, Who is going to make the first mount for Mac Mini/Studio for Studio Display to make it look like an iMac?

    Actually I was expecting to see such a mount already but seems like nobody came up with a product yet. Even from 3D geeks. Would you use that kind of mount to hang your Mac Mini/Studio at the back of the Studio Display? Mac Studio might be harder to do due its uneven weight distribution and...
