- After waiting over 4 weeks, with the scheduled delivery window right around the corner, I decided to cancel my order of the Apple Studio Display and purchase the Samsung M8. Here's why!

If you can't notice difference between 4k and 5k, then M8 is the way to go. I am a designer/developer and I can totally notice the pixel density right away. Totally worth it for me.
Yeah but 60 Hz in 2023 is just a joke. I’d rather have a 4K monitor with 144 Hz, even if it means non linear scaling.
The fact that Apple doesn’t let you use 2 studio display speakers simultaneously, a year later, is silly. At that point, you’re getting standalone speakers, rendering the built in speakers a wasted feature.
@@bren.r Sure stick to M8 then. For me personally the 5k itself is the only selling point I need. There is just no other monitor with 5k in similar or lower price range.
I can tell, but I can’t afford the Apple. Just starting out. Maybe someday.
Though I have a Mac Studio on order, I was never going to add the Studio display, probably for similar reasons to you: value just isn’t there. I’ve loved my late 2015 27” iMac but as a photographer primarily, it’s not what I need. I do love the glossy higher contrast display for general viewing but I also have a Benq SW 271 as a second display and for critical photo work. I will add a second Benq screen, likely the SW321C which, ironically, is a bit more than the Studio display but even more potent for photographic work. Good video.
The Benq is a great monitor that I’ve used for work. Appreciate the comment and thank you for watching 🙏🏼
Well worth the savings. Most people who have a MacMini or M2 MacMini are buying less expensive monitors for home setups. Dell 4k 27-inch, LG 4k 32-inch, or the Samsung M8 like this video. No major difference while still giving very good viewing quality.
Great explainer. I have the Studio Display but only because I wanted to go speaker less on my desk. I have AudioEngine Hd3 but wanted them to be dedicated vinyl record speakers. So the monitor speakers matter for me. I also downgraded from LG Ergo Ultrafine 32 inch screen wise. I can’t believe how fast I got used to the 27 inch.
You really can’t go wrong with it. Glad it’s working out for you!
Ordered my Mac Studio Display with nano-textured glass and height-adjustable stand on March 27th. Finally got it on June 22nd. I almost canceled! Just pretended that I didn’t order it and continued using our 4K TV as a monitor for the Mac Studio that I ordered at the same time to go with it. ✌️
Nice. How do you like the Mac Studio?
@@arkoverload Really love the Mac Studio Display! Once it arrived, I was pretty much speechless! Have never had a 5K display before. It’s very excellent and makes a great replacement for my late 2014 27” iMac. Very happy with it!
yes please do a full review of M8 with detailed negatives and positives. Nice Kronos by the way, I have the Kronos titanium 88.
Nice! Yeah I think I might make the m8 video sooner or later.
@@arkoverload If you could, can you please see my question/comment on your "M1 Mac Mini couldn't get it to work" video .. Thanks.
The M8 only has 100% sRGB, if you need more colours like Adobe RGB or DCI-P3. Then it’s not for you.
Best monitor for Mac is Alogic clarify 27 4k glossy hdr 600nit glass monitor qled display, is you know this monitor?
Good review. As someone in the apple eco.system the studio display is the logical choice. That display will probably endure 10 years+Not worth the downgrade to save less than a $1000 USD figuring peripherals you will buy.
Good point
I’ve done the same I canceled my apple studio and I bought the LG 40WP95 ultrawide which is fantastic for what I need, 2 monitors or one ultrawide. Before, I had the LG 5k Ultrafine (the plastic version of Apple Studio), and I can say the extra ppi on apple studio doesn’t make a lot of difference against the benefits I have with this monitor. As you, I’ve been loyal to apple’s products for decades but not this time.
what resolution are you running the LG40 at?
@@chicagobob I'm currently using 3840 x 1620 because I think 5120 x 2160 text is too small.
@@renatolovatoThanks, what mac are you using?
@@chicagobob macbook 16" Apple M1 Max
@@renatolovato Thanks I was running it on 2018 Mac mini and I think i was at 3300 compared to 3800 which made the text too big
Make sure the HDMI cable is capable of 4k@60
So like 99% of HDMI cables on Amazon.
Scaling settings/specs ?
I use both pc and m1, can the m8 handle both?
I believe so
One of the things I'm concerned about is the lower PPI on Samsung M8, as texts may not appear sharp enough and be a little pixelated on a 32" display. Also, due to its lighter weight compared to Apple Studio Display, does the M8 'shake' easily when you type or apply a slight pressure on the table that might cause this to happen?
Enjoyed your video :)
I had the m8 and immediately returned it -- the text wasn't sharp and the icon colors were washed out. Great idea and value but not great
Is this Samsung paid advertisement?
I wish! Lol - no I paid for that monitor myself and Samsung has no idea who I am 🤷🏻♂️
It's seems , WTF would You prefer a M8 over the studio display 😂 if You watch reviews , this monitor is the worst for pros
after all the time do you still think u made the right decision? ... cause after my research i think the m8 is a shitty display compared to the apple studio display (which is indeed too expensive, this is als why i cannot decide for the right monitor for weeks on weeks now)
4k doesn't scale well with mac os, samsungs m8 panel doesn't look that good, it has a strange format and a really shitty build quality ... yes the price is ok, but thats all
samsung are not durable that's the problem
