Exactly. He never even showed the displays. One of the big features of the Alogic is supposed to be that it’s a glossy finish, not matte. But who would know from this video?
@@AppleInsider the title says “studio display vs a logic”. You do a great job at comparing the specification sheets of the two monitors. But it’s been my experience that there is more to a monitor than as specifications. I would have liked to have heard what your subjective comparison was between the image quality of the two monitors. Yes one is 5k And one is 4K. You have chosen to compare a 4k to a 5k. I’d like to know why. Are they effectively the same? In that in real world there is little to no difference? Or is the 5k really worth twice the price? And if it’s worth twice the price, for whom? I would have liked more detail. That extra detail is what would draw me back to your channel. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Dion
I agree, I would have really liked to know more about the image quality of the clarity monitor.., in terms of image quality, he pretty much just said it’s a 4k and left it at that .. bummer
@@AppleInsider ah..cool. Any issues with it after a few months of use? How does the quality of it (both the display and build quality) stack up against similar 4K monitors from companies like Dell and LG? Any issues with scaling? Is the display quality good enough that you don’t regret not getting a 5k monitor (such as the LG Ultrafine)? Thanks!
This week received the clarity monitor, was exited for the monitor because i prefer the glossy finish for a monitor. Got an office without any harsh light. First setup, colors looked great, adjustable and the glass finish is great. But there is one thing why i am returning the monitor. There is some type of noise look. Looks like there is a film underneath the glass which makes white and colored images look grainy. Not perfect unfortunately.
Pricing in Australia is 899 AUD Studio display with height adjust is 2999 So I can have 3 if these badboys side by side in portrait mode for less than a single Studio display. Hmmm
Will you be buying this 27" Alogic Clarity Monitor mate? I believe stock will be coming in early April from a couple of different online retailers. I'm also in Australia, and BTW shipping/postage will be free.
@@TheThingKing well - we are at the end of April now, and be f*cked if I can find any for sale - all sold out, and orders backlogged to the moon. Must be a in huge demand !! Now I have gone from wanting a couple, to _really_ wanting a couple. Even PCCG has taken them off their list for now. Ah well, they do have some new Monsgeek M1 keyboards in stock, so I'll have to get one of those instead. I got an Akko DIY keyboard a while back, and its a brilliant accessory for a Mac - all the media keys work as advertised, and the rotary dial works out of the box for audio volume control. Scorptec and a few others have them listed as awaiting more stock, Alogic main site has them unavailable, and even Amazon has them as unavailable. :(
@@steveoc64 Thanks for replying back. That is really sad. If anything changes in regards to availablity keep me updated. If I hear anything I will also make sure to keep you informed as well.
@@AppleInsider Thanks. I like the ability to rotate the screen but the 4K resolution and 400 nits of brightness are rate-limiting for me. Maybe at $500 but not at $800. And I don't care a bit about the lack of camera and mike, but lots of others probably do.
Do you know what's the difference between this one and Innocn 27P1U. I think everything looks identical to me from looks to specs as I can tell so far.
For me coming from a iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) sorry could not go back to 4K display. Now have LG Ultra HD 5K Ultra Slim 27MD5KA-B Monitor on a black NB North Bayou VESA Monitor Arm Desk Mount as Apple Studio Display could not be ordered with pick up in store at the time I place my order from my MacBook Air (can now). When I sit down reach out and adjust the height, and distance to arms length. Almost like having my vision from my younger years. The image is extra sharp. So for me never going back to less than Retina display image that I get with the 27-inch LG Ultra HD 5K Ultra Slim 27MD5KA-B Monitor, or would get with the Apple Studio Display.
Oh, but there's a new version of the Alogic out now, which is touchscreen. This is huge for me, since I do music production. Bought two. Will see how they work out.
I just set up my alogic monitor tonight, the first thing I noticed was the very noticeable difference in brightness going from an older iMac 5k to this…I can’t seem to get the colour profile the same though? I’m a photographer and skin tones on the alogic look saturated compared to my old iMac or when I airdrop photos…anybody able to help?
I bought two alogic monitors. They are okay, but only after extensive calibration. Out of the box, the colors and contrasts are completely overblown, making professional work for graphic designers impossible. But far more importantly: The customer service writes friendly emails, but does absolutely nothing. I have a defective docking station which they refuse to take back. There's absolutely no possibility for return processes! And I had to pay high customs fees, which they promised me 5 or 6 times they would cover. Nothing happened. Therefore, my clear recommendation is to definitely avoid this company.
4K is bad. They should have make 5K panel if targeting the premium segment (which it is, considering the price) is a priority. The issue is that to display 4K, macOS has to render 2x image of scaled resolution and downscale it back to 4K. This means that 2:1 scaling will require a 1080p base resolution. Which is not enough for display of such size. While using 1440p, which is the target for this diagonal, requires macOS to render 5K image and downscale it to 4K, which make a bad pixel conversion. Meaning, instead of proper image you will have color fringing around UI elements. Which makes monitor shitty. What a shame... And yeah, why do we need this much unused ports? One Type-C for input is enough. Should have made it cleaner.
I purchased one and sent it straight back. Nowhere near the quality of Apple monitor or any other monitor at same price point. This is obviously a paid/affiliate biased review
Well I wouldn’t call 4K “crappy resolution” for a 27”. It’s still on the high end and there are only maybe 2 5K displays out there. The cam is fine because built in webcams often suck - even Apple’s. So I’m happy using a webcam if I need it. I don’t mind the design and it’s primarily metal. One of the best looking monitors out there and is made for Apple.
@@AppleInsider It doesn't scale well for 27", it's ofc the main reason apple uses 5K etc. They can do much better for the price they're asking. As for the design, it is somehow thicker than a complete iMac, now that's impressive. I'll stick to Apple's monitors tho, really wish more manufactures would take it more seriously. This is one of the better pc monitors I've seen but that's a low bar to beat sadly.
Other than the size of 27 inches these monitors have nothing in common. Like comparing a Toyota to a Porsche. Monumentally stupid until you realize the video title and leveraging the Studio Display name for search results. Manipulative and unprofessional.
Apples display is the same 7 year old tech in the 5k iMac nothing special I have both I think the a logic is just as nice and the colors are just as good hdr is better. You can do color work on both. Realistically it’s not like your color grading film on any of apples displays including the xdr. The xdr is nice but when apple compared it to the Sony Pro Display I laughed my ass off.
As soon as you said 4k I quit watching. The Apple 5k ips makes a big difference, that’s what your paying for. There are many 4K monitors out there similar to this. What is the panel type, probably VA to get the HDR. With the title of this video, this video appears to be a paid ad for this monitor
I agree. 5K is HUGE for people working in text (see Andrew’s comment about rotating the Alogic display to work on code or legal documents). And the 400 vs 600 nits of brightness is also significant.
Kind of a dumb comment to make considering that if anyone is looking at alternatives, then 4K is acceptable to them. If you need 5k, studio display is your only option. You wouldn’t be looking for an alternative if so.
@@Nazenko Well jeepers, the title doesn't exactly make it clear that one display is 4K compared to the Studio Display's 5K now does it? So maybe it's the initial premise that the two CAN be compared in a meaningful way that's at fault. Frankly, I don't think so but and appreciate Andrew's effort in comparing the two. But if the comparison is valid in the first place, then it's kinda dumb to complain when people do comment on the key difference. And FWIW, I also wondered if this were a paid endorsement video because it did feel that way at times.
No, actually on the contrary there are few Monitors like the CLARITY 27” UHD 4K Monitor, because the CLARITY 27” UHD 4K Monitor has a glossy finish, 4K and HDR support. Name me another Monitor that has all 3 of those things?
Extremely lazy review that was nothing but reading each of their spec sheets. You have both monitors there, try actually comparing them ffs.
I would love to see these monitors, side by side, showing the same images. I would think the review would benefit from that.
A screen comparison that doesn't compare picture quality. Nice one.
Exactly. He never even showed the displays. One of the big features of the Alogic is supposed to be that it’s a glossy finish, not matte. But who would know from this video?
How come there are only like 5 reviews of this monitor on RUclips?
How does the picture quality compare to the apple studio display?
Pity you did not compare the image quality, there’s not enough information in this review to tell me whether it is worth the risk
What image quality? It’s 5K vs 4K so there’s a difference in resolution
