Pro Display XDR - Owners Thread

[shurcooL]

Very true. And side by side that aspect cannot be missed. Fortunately, my room is in a basement with no external illumination so I always have the nits very low and the gray of the SD not really noticeable. Even set to 500 nits in a dark room is like looking into the sun. My XDR is on the P3-500 nit preset and the brightness slider is only about 1/3 full.

The HDR is another significant difference (as XDR in its name implies). Try opening a test page like https://www.wide-gamut.com/test or https://www.wide-gamut.com/test/image-hdr in Chrome on both displays—just be sure to use the "Pro Display XDR (P3-1600 nits)" preset. (When it comes to displaying SDR, it's very true they have equivalent visual quality ignoring their size difference.)

I topped my WWDC 2nd gen wishful thinking thread, but wanted to also goose my fellow XDR fans about possibility of an incoming refresh.

Also, how’s it been going? Everybody’s XDR monitors holding on okay?

Mine is holding up very well, I like that there is competition cropping up from third parties as well. Multiple 27" 5k displays in recent months, now a 6k, 32" from LG announced. Apple has to step it up a little bit if they don't offer "good" iMacs anymore...
