I'd like to see Apple offer a 32-inch standalone display, with no camera and no speakers (and especially no rounded corners and no notch!), in the same lineup as their non-Pro displays.
Got a tip for us?

Would you be happy to pay $1,799 for that? Same price point as the 2020 iMac 27" 5K base model?
No way I'd do that, that'd cost twice as much. The Studio Display costs to much for just a monitor.
I disagree
40 inch is the perfect size for 5K.
46 inch is the perfect size for 6K.
I repeat:
40 inch is the perfect size for 5K.
46 inch is the perfect size for 6K.
Apple please take note:
40 inch is the perfect size for 5K.
46 inch is the perfect size for 6K.
And here I am, cash in hand, waiting for a 32" Studio Display. Or at least a better 27" with some dimming zones.
It’s still is... a starting size for bedrooms or minimalist small apartment.
Yes it costs more now, but you can keep using the display after this computer is obsolete. With an iMac, the display is wasted (unless converted into a standalone display of course).
Why would they do something that can limit sales. They need to make a bigger profit every year. Better for profits to force people into buying a new display
Can somebody explain why Apple doesn't release a matching monitor every time they launch an imac with a (substantially) changed case.
All the macbook+air/pro owners are "forced" to buy a monitor from a different brand, since apple doesn't have anything for them (ASD and XDR caters to mac studio and mac pro). Easy market to scoop up, when they already have the imac production line ready.

Can’t you use Sidecar from Apple, or 3rd party options like Duet Display, the $99 Luna dongle, etc.?
The fact that the Mini can now be optioned with an M2-Pro makes me think there will me an M3-Pro iMac option.
901 days since an update, which bought us a decreased screen size and resolution - that no one asked for👍
No bigger size for another 2 years?! Well that f*n sucks
What's going on with the iMac?

Just because Apple might term something obsolete doesn't make it useless.
You can, and I do, that with my 2020 27" intel iMac, and it's good for productivity stuff. A bit too much latency for entertainment or gaming though. I mostly use my iMac standalone, even though I have a faster AS Mac sitting beside me. I really like the iMac, great display, great machine.
Maybe for the Mac enthusiasts that post here. But I suspect that 900 days ago, the clear majority of iMac owners saw it as an upgrade from their 21.5” iMac.
Weren’t 21.5” iMac more prolific than 27” iMac?
As someone with an actual need (HDR and imaging workflow) for an extended (read: multi-display) workspace, I couldn't agree more with you on 32" being a sweet spot (PPI-wise) for 6K, or even 7K (and, I'll toss-in, 8K sweet spot at 38–42").
Looking back at Apple's strategy, it's become clear to me that the Pro Display XDR was launched to provide an actual workspace pathway for the burgeoning HDR content-creation crowd. An expeditionary-ship-in-the-harbor had arrived and a shot-across-the-bow had been fired, so to speak, to the manufacturer's of professional grading monitors that their day's of monopolization with exorbitantly-priced reference displays were going to be challenged...and, in a big way. Affordable HDR-grading was coming to the masses, and there was a fleet of ships to follow...er, so to speak. LOL
Where I'd long-thought of Pro Display XDR as a consumer-class product whose price would adjust with time-in-market I now see it for what it is, a unit-priced tool that served/serves as an HDR foothold for Apple's top echelon customer...the, er, armada-of-ships providing HDR "for the masses" was going to take a bit more time to arrive.
This "leak" for the 32" XDR iMac is the shot-across-the-bow to Dell, HP and Lenovo for their AIO lines, HDR is coming-to-the-masses, although I'm sure they've known this news long before any of us reading this here!
I expect XDR to arrive sooner in the iMac line with the 24" first and a ~28", as well. The 32"-and-larger XDR units for their, um, "Pro" lineup.My 2¢.
It's important to be aware that the global community is in a desperate rush to get greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under control, and that consumer electronic devices are currently under stricter energy efficiency rules in the EU and elsewhere, and to expect there to be global energy efficiency standards in relatively short order. Electronics manufacturers are scrambling to develop those low-energy products lest they find themselves no longer able to participate in the global marketplace...

On the good news side, I expect that Apple will be providing the world "goods" long into the future and that they'd very much like to see that all of their products not only meet current energy efficiency standards, but exceed them in anticipation of even-more-restrictive energy efficiency standards arising, should global need be. FWIW, and IMO, I'm thrilled that Apple is among the many companies worldwide taking the lead on this...if that means waiting another year for mini-LED to arrive, well, sure I'd like things to arrive sooner, but, so-be-it!
