"Apple has a million to one contrast ratio whereas the Dell has a 2,000:1 contrast ratio." No, no NO! Apple Insider really needs to give its reviewers basic training in display technology. He's comparing one spec on the XDR with an entirely different spec on the Dell, specifically the XDR's **dynamic** contrast ratio (achieved through local dimming) with Dell's **static** contrast ratio. It's like comparing one car's top speed off-road to another car's top speed on a track. An accurate comparison would note that the XDR's static contrast ratio is only about 1000:1, which is **poorer** than the Dell's. The XDR can achieve the inflated 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio only through local dimming, but it has only 576 zones, which is not enough for the dimming to be that effective, so you get a lot of blooming. That's why the XDR was unable to achieve Dolby/Netflix certification for HDR Mastering use, as that typically requires a 200,000:1 **static** contrast ratio. The XDR's static contrast ratio is so mediocre that Apple carefully never publishes it-it's not even in their XDR white paper. The XDR is a great display, but its contrast ratio is a weakness, not a strength.
@@Steven-e7c Good luck Pal, they all suck! Dell's have a shorter shelf life before they start having issues and Apple's display is too expensive and too old at this point to justify 5k plus!
The Dell 6K monitor is certainly good, but the matte finish is a show stopper for me! If I'm going to spend around US$3000 on a monitor, I want a glossy monitor! I hope Dell will still bring a glossy variant on the market!
Anti-glare is a must if you work in a bright environment. This is why I love my old ACD 30" display. That matte screen is a winner and I have an MBP and the glare on that screen drives me crazy.

@@AlbertKelconsidering the only option people have on the market is nothing but matte, you’re just objectively wrong. We absolutely need more glossy options. Glossy is just better.

This monitor is so ugly.... HOW COULD THEY DO THIS!? 🤣 Would be an instant buy if it had clean slim bezels (without logo's and buttons would be the best)
How does it do with the Apple user interface? A lot of none native monitors don’t work as expected and need to scale the user interface so everything is still useable and not really small. Does anyone have any experience with this monitor on an apple computer, to confirm it’s compatible without having to adjust scaling?
Apple solved that with retina in 2012. Nonnative resolutions are rendered x4 and downscaled to the non-native resolution. Apple icons, menus, and so on are rendered 4 times larger. 5K = "virtual desktop" at 2560x1440. This has not been solved in Windows 2023. You only have font scaling in Windows with a 600% limit. Usually, 4K is rendered with 300-350% font scaling.
Why not say three thousand two hundred instead of 32 hundred dollars? Especially when the apples were described as 5 thousand to 6 thousand dollars? Lol
Would have loved to see any other content, for example how the text rendering on that Dell 6K display looks or any other open programs, rather than 10 minutes of that wallpaper...as well as some footage of that webcam.
Love that there's more competition in this space but that forehead on the Dell is heinous. I cannot believe they released such an ugly monitor for such a premium price.
man i jut dont care for that big bulging ugly camera, couldnt they have done that to a different monitor or made it optional? im here for the resolution not all these other tacked on things that just make it bulky and heinous looking
Seriously - marketing people are some of the most out of touch people. You’d think they’d ask consumers what is most important to them. I guarantee anyone spending this kind of money on a monitor has a dedicated webcam and set of speakers. The monitor should just be a monitor - nothing more!
Could you please plug this into a basic M1 or M2 Mac via Thunderbolt (non-Pro or Max chip, e.g. MBA) and confirm it will output the full Dell 6K resolution? I’m a bit concerned the max supported res could be hard coded to the slightly lower XDR pixel dimensions.
@@gavrilo1389princip pro monitors are all over $5k, if you are using these for professional work they’re a great deal compared to Sony’s reference monitors which can be over $10k. If you just want a basic monitor that is good there are plenty of budget friendly 4k displays to choose from
Just for info to all PC users: My Pro Display XDR works flawlessly with my RTX 2080 ti, 3090 and 4090. I just had to buy a hdmi to usb c cable from Belkin, that was meant for some Huawei VR glasses, haha.
As amazing as a monitor as it is, sure feels like a waste to have beefy graphics cards like that when you can’t even take advantage of high refresh rate. 60hz is the deal breaker for me for apple monitors, that and the lack of multiple display inputs
@@extra4542 I work as a 3D artist and for the heavy stuff I have a Windows workstation with these three graphic cards, custom watercooled. Trust me, they are not wasted. They run days under full load, rendering. Thunderbolt 4 has a limit of 40gbps bandwith, the Pro Display uses 29,3 gbps for 6k at 60hz and 24b bit. For 120 Hz you would need 58,6 gbps, that no common standard is currently offering. Thunderbolt 5 is said to offer 120 gbps. Then it might be possible and I'm confident Apple will offer a pro-motion option like with their Macbook Pro screens in future.
Dell really should have done more with the design. The camera is good, but you still could have had a great display with a good 2k camera and it would have still had more than the XDR. The XDR is pushing 5 years old, still good, but I would not recommend buying one unless you really want it or are in production. Maybe look at dual Studio displays as an option?
The XDR contrast should be stated both - in one frame - where local back-light can do its magic, and in close proximity, where you compare a black and white check-board, that falls into single back-light zone (if the screen is 6K3K and 500 zones are present, one zone is about 36000 pixels - plenty do do a 2x2 check-board .
Did that top bezel need to be that big? It's not like it's hiding that big camera module. If you're looking into a 6K monitor, it is hard to beat. I think the studio display is 5K with speakers and camera tucked into the bezels, but it too is in a weird price point; it houses a 5K monitor (taken from the previous 27" iMacs) without a computer inside, but other third party displays cut corners or have similar specs with a higher price just for the monitor. If I had money and the use-case for these monitors, I'd buy both, but for me, it's not a need-to-have. Who knows? I could be eating my words down the line 🤷♂
The big bar at the top houses speakers as well, but the speakers are nothing to write home about. The sound is very thin and tinny. The Apple Studio Display has excellent speakers, and it doesn’t need a giant bezel, although the Dell has thinner bezels on the left and right.
Had a terrible experience with this display. Attached to a Mac Studio, half of the screen would randomly go out (I think because their drivers are bad). Dell support recommended reducing the HZ to 30, reducing the resolution, and turning True Tone off in order to prevent it from happening. -- Not recommended for Apple products, and I would not consider this an XDR killer.
We buy for design, beauty, quality,and finish. There is nothing like an Apple product. Dell do not stand a chance. Who cares about those plastic gadgets when we all just want quality and finish. We easily spend to get better components than the shitty built in that are always offered by other brands
Apple Pro Display XDR was the best investment I ever made on my computer setup. My only wish would have been a space gray option, so it better suited my MacBook Pro.
After 14 years pc users can finally enjoy retina. ?Sadly still a ugly plastic monitor still and expensive a/f. There is really no competition for Apple. What a lazy and pathetic attempt.
I don't think it matters whether it's made from plastic or metal when it's going on a desk and isn't going to be touched aside from the few moments you may use it in portrait. Additionally, there's still many other monitors that contend and often beat similarly specced apple offerings. Dell has an 8K version of the ultrasharp in the same size form factor, beyond "retina" in resolution, which basically is the be all end all of resolution in monitors. However, for half the price of an apple studio display you can get an INNOCN 27m2v with 1152 local diming zones > 576 pro display XDR dimming zones. 4k res, 160HZ, 100% dcip3, 100% adobe RGB, 700 nit SDR, 1000 nit HDR (No apple display has < 90% adobe rgb coverage). But even if you are only in it for the resolution, the LG ultrafine 5K which is spec-for-spec identical to the apple studio display, with the only difference being that its cheaper and has 500 nits peak brightness. Samsung also has a 5k res monitor called the viewfinity S9, which will also give you 218 PPI with full p3 color gamut coverage for cheaper than the studio display and has a metal construction just like the studio display, need I list any more?
I just got one and when I plug it into my M1 MacBook Pro, I have to run it at well below the native resolution to get decent scaling. Am I doing something wrong?
Are you actually running it at lower resolution or are you just scaling to a size of lower resolution (does the screen become blurry)? The difference is that you are still getting the sharpness of 6k, but with the scaling of lower resolutions (size of things). If you are actually running lower resolutions, you'd have your screen blurry AF. (If you select resolutions as those squares in OS settings, then you are just scaling size. If you are using 3rd party software or click the scale with option key pressed and select "show all resolutions" - only then can you run non-native resolutions)
If I’m gonna spend multiple thousands of $ for a display I might as well go with the one I’m gonna be satisfied with. That dell is ugly to look at especially for that hideous-ass top bezel with the camera. If I’m going to compromise I’m just gonna go spend 1/10 of what an XDR costs and get a perfectly good 4K which is going to be as good as the Dell 6k except for the ppi and the camera I don’t even want.
This camera is atrocious. Whe on earth you would need 2 cameras in multi monitor setup? What about light bar placement? Where is proximity sensor to enter sleep when user is away, like Benq has? It's simply frustrating to see how camera could be removabe (just make it USB-C plugged on the top when needed), add user presence sensor that should be a norm in 2023. Frustrating and pathetic, that I need to hold onto 5 years ols Benq to have all those features and cost $600 (32 inch) with IPS
Any comments regarding the refresh rate ? 60hz seems slow … I’m used to a 120hz display … did you notice any stutter when moving content on the screen ?
if i drag a window between my 120hz monitor and 70hz monitor, the 70hz monitor is slightly less smooth. however typically it is only noticable with rapid camera movement on intensive 3d content, for that you might be better off with a gaming/entertainment monitor as opposed to a studio monitor. anything less than a 4090 or future 5090 would be painful at 6k above 60hz without reduction in graphical fidelity
I have 27” Dell UltraSharp and for gaming and watching streaming movies the display is abysmal in terms of color vividness and contrast. It is time for people to admit that matte surface ruins everything.
I looked at the ProDisplay XDR and it is usable as a reference monitor for film/television. And, as a reference monitor it is CHEAP! Sony sells a 4K reference monitor for $29,000 + that has many of the same characteristics as the Apple ProDisplay XDR. And, in a studio, one never imagines that a monitor will come with a stand. One anticipates that one will mount it on a wall or get a VESA mount for all monitors. Oh, and one generally has reference audio monitors, like the KRK Riki RP7 or JBL reference monitors placed in the room so that you can hear the 5.1 sound mix. I ran a post-house. One generally goes all-out for these kinds of things. The problem with any monitor is that you never want the client seeing or hearing anything aside from reference. So you need a client monitor, colorist’s monitor, edit monitor and so on all the same. And you need to calibrate them to all look alike. What blew me away about Apple’s $6,000 ProDisplay XDR is that every single one looks the same. And they hold their calibration. I have used other professional-grade monitors that needed calibration every week and there was some variation in color-casts of some of the displays. Due respect to Dell, but that is a computer monitor. My question is, have you seen others and can you compare them all to the one you reviewed? Do some look a little different from the one you reviewed? Because these are the kinds of things that a pro facility would want to know. Also, you said nothing about refresh rate. Apple has a fetish for one refresh rate, 60Hz. Can the Dell do more? Overall, this is a very good review and I appreciate your conclusions.

Overall, this is a very good review and I appreciate your conclusions.
You want a little more brightness ?
Priceless
Hi, the panel is matte or glossy ? thanks
It’s a disgusting matte finish. Can you not tell? Lol - it’s pretty obvious.
I've had my U3224KBA a week now and love it. I do wish the speakers were better but hey everything else is wonderful!
You don’t need speakers on a monitor that’s just dumb
You’re buying a monitor. No monitor at this price should have speakers - it should just be a monitor, nothing more.
its bloody 60hz lol
its not gaming monitor
@ode4473 yes I’m no gamer but its 2024 , phoned have 120hz, nice scrolling , for the money it cost you would want 120hz
I bought this 6K monitor, 60 Hz is enough for me :) @@Castor-Pollux
Still way more than a 42” OLED as a monitor.
And way higher pixel density.
And way better text clarity
lol , that price, apple has better resale value, 3k but shit plastic frame
dell is overpriced hahaha
Is it glossy?
He talks about this in the video.
Was this the question? He says it is glossy but has an anti glare coating.
@@Marc-mo8bt than I must have overheard it. Sorry
