    Studio Display + another display

    I am wondering if I can connect my existing 4k display directly with the Apple Studio Display. You might think it won't work, but my 4k DELL supports display stream compression, going under the 10Gbit/s that the USB-C ports offer on the Studio Display. Sooo…from that perspective it should work...

    Checked out the Mac Studio at the Apple Store

    On my way to buy some groceries I stopped by the Apple store to check out the new Mac Studio. I didn't have to walk too far in the store and was greeted by it sitting on one of the tables at the front accompanied by a Studio Display, wireless keyboard and magic trackpad. My initial...

    Which colorimeter for calibrating Studio Display?

    I am getting a Mac Studio and Studio Display to replace my old Mac Pro and NEC SpectraView 271. Until now I have used the colorimeter that came with the SpectraView, but that is starting to fail (it is also 12 years old). Has anybody done any testing on which colorimeter works best with the...

    Studio Display - Where are the color profiles? Calibrate with i1 DisplayPro X-rite

    Today I started using a Studio Display. This is next to my 5K iMac from 2019. I calibrated my iMac with the i1 Display Pro from X-rite. This works fine. After calibration, a .icc color profile will appear here. You can then select this color profile in the screen preferences. However, this is...

    Daisy chaining two 27" 5k monitors over DisplayPort 1.4?

    Hi, I have a 2021 14" m1 mbp, and would like to connect it to two 5120x2880 monitors. I know I cannot daisy chain two LG Ultrafine 5ks, or two Apple Studio Displays, but I wasn't sure if I could daisy chain two PROLITE XB2779QQS-S1s. According to this thread, they use a single DisplayPort 1.4...

    Apple SuperDrive under Mac Studio - works well + helps w/ wobble under Studio display

    For the longest time I still can not get away from DVDs so I still use the Apple SuperDrives with all my devices. I tried to put my USB-C docking hub (Black Magic USB2000) underneath but was wobbly. So I placed the SuperDrive under the Mac Studio to prevent the Studio from wobbling due to the...

    What do you think of this Mac Studio peripherals setup? And how to attach 2nd display?

    I plan on upgrading to a Mac Studio Max. To figure out what I need exactly I made a diagram of the stuff I plan to attach: What do you think? Does this make sense? Anything I can optimise? One big problem: How do I attach my old Apple Cinema Display (Mini Displayport & USB A) which I want to...

    How to connect old Apple Cinema Display 27"? Daisy chain to Studio Display?

    I would like to keep using my old Mini Displayport 27" Apple Cinema Display (from ca. 2011) as a secondary monitor on the Mac Studio. From my initial research it seems like HDMI to Mini Displayport adapters are problematic. I would also like to avoid using one of the Thunderbolt 4 ports as I...

    About the future of Apple external displays

    I cannot get the new Apple Studio display out of my head. The kinda disappointing specs leave me begging for answers. I'm not here to complain but to talk about what's might be the reasoning behind the specs we see in the Apple Studio Display. It seems like everyone (including me) were...

    Dual Studio Display with Macbook Pro M1 13"

    I know that through DisplayLink or other software you can connect 2 (sometimes more) monitors to the MacBook Pro M1 13". I'm thinking of buying 2 Studio Displays, but the problem is that all the adapters I found connect to the displays through HDMI or display port not Thunderbolt which is the...

    Is the Studio Display standard glass the same as the MacBook Pro 13"/14" displays?

    I'm deciding whether I'll need the nano texture option for the studio display, so I thought how reflective the standard coating really is. I have a 14" MBP and a 13" Pro M1 - do either of these use the same glass/coating as the standard glass of the Studio Display? Or, are they just as...

    New studio monitor - which stand option are you getting and why?

    I can't decide but I think the real question for me is if I end up getting VESA mount adapter, do I have to get an arm or are there 3rd party stands that look good? Arms are kind of too big of a contraption IMO.

    Studio Display and Mac Pro without a MPX Module and a 3rd party 6900 XT

    May be a stupid question, I know. Please pardon me if so. I removed the 580X MPX Module from my Mac Pro and am only driving a Sonnet 6900 XT, with has a HDMI port, 2 Display Ports and a USB-C port. Will the Studio Display work if attached to the USB-C port? Or do I will need a dongle? If...

    Studio Display: with or without the Nano-texture glass?

    I'm interested in getting the new Studio 27' Display. My work environment is pretty luminous and I hate reflections on the screen. I haven't seen this display in store yet, so I don't know if I should buy the version with the nano-texture glass or without it (especially considering there's a...

    Mac Studio M1 Max: 24 or 32 GPU Cores?

    Hi all, I'm considering to get the new Mac Studio M1 Max with the new Studio Display, to replace my very old Macs (old MacBook Pro, and recently died Mac mini). Since I'm on a tight budget, I intend to get the base model with 32GB ram and 512GB SSD only (extra storage can easily be added later...
