    Another benefit often overlooked is instant on from sleep.
    My old LG Ultra-wide would take a couple seconds to wake up and sync which sounds insignificant but instant on just adds another layer to its quality of life features.

    I was thinking of getting one from the refurbished store. Thanks for your take! Just a suggestion, the music (at least for me) is making your voice a bit harder to hear. Perhaps raise the vocal channel in the mix? Music volume was fine your voice just didn't punch through.

    In December of 2012 I bought a 27" iMac for CA$1940. I'm still using it today. Only thing I've changed is I added 8G of RAM. That was expensive at the time. Amortized over almost 12 years, not so much. I bought a Studio Display, and I expect to have it for at least 10 years. I expect it will still look good then too. As you say, I value my eye sight, and this is the best display I can afford. Worth it to me.

    The studio display is a big outlay in front but it will last for more than a decade as a main monitor for every day use without a single compromise. My HD monitor I bought 8 years ago was unusable after about 2 years and I just hung onto it as a third display. The 1 year old HP HD display was not kind on my eyes like the retina. Even a 4K can’t hit Retina display. A decent app like better display can help but it’s not the real thing. At my age my eyes are more valuable than anything else.

    It's time to replace my 2015 27" 5K iMac as well-same as your original setup. Pretty sure the Mac Studio with the Studio display is the way to go. My needs are not as demanding as yours, but I'm growing into that and this investment will carry me for the next 4-5 years. Besides, if Apple does come up with a much better 27 inch monitor the resale value on this will hold well enough to upgrade. I appreciate the Studio Display videos that showcase real world usage after 6 months at least. All those original complaints when it first came out just don't mean much in the longer run.

    The “problem” with the Studio Display is that it is unnecessarily expensive, even for a Apple product. Before this you could easily reach a very good display and computer for not much more than the current asking price just for this monitor alone. A slimmed down version of this display be easily made available with not fancy speakers, processors and cameras or, even better, adding a SOC inside and launching it as the new 27” iMac.

    basically your video proofs, we consumer tend to rationalize our purchases as time passes by. unless you argue you used the Studio Display next to other similar tier displays (e.g. BenQ, ProArt displays), I dont really see what you are arguing. maybe what you are arguing is that it took you 8 months to tell yourself you did an OK purchase. half the script of this video, sounds as provided by Apple marketing material.

  • @dell1032
    @dell1032 Год назад +1

    The reason why people spec up and pay the extra money for Macs is because a fast Mac gives you something more valuable than purchasing a Studio Display - people spend more on a computer because it gives them time and time can be invaluable in some situations. I think having the mindset of it being a 8 - 10 year investment is a great way of looking at it, just like you said in your video. To be honest, I do think $1,600 for this monitor is too high. If Apple were to sell it for $1,200 I wouldn't have so much objection to it. The good think about this monitor is we can agree to disagree and while it's not for me, what matters most is it's great to hear that this monitor exceeds your expectations and you are happy with your purchase.

    Thanks for your very thoughtful review.
    Anyone can compare technical specs and say is good or bad then this or that.
    You focused in key aspects of the daily use and for how long one can enjoy.
    Correctly, is a working monitor not a game monitor.
    Good remarks about the camera and speakers but that’s is the part I would not fully agree with you. Even if the frequency of use may reduce the importance of have great sound, video and mic, In my opinion is part of what makes a good monitor great.
    Excellent remarks regarding the importance of your eyes health and how important size is versus better displays specs like the current ones on the 14 or 16 MacBook pro (we will need to sale organs to pay for that kind of spec in a 27”).
    Which you would bring up that probably the most important factor is that there is no “non apple option” that will match the seamless experience one have connecting any “Apple thing” on it. That’s makes even easier to justify the investment.
