I loved this honest review man. Really nails down all the pros and cons. As a user I would expect this thing to be compatible with a PC at least. The USB speeds really surprised me. But all in all, for a professional, if you spend this much money on a device, you probably have a Macbook that can push this display with ease. Hope you are doing well, and have a great week!
I have the 8th generation iPad in silver and actually really like it. I like it because to me, it’s very affordable and that I can just use it without babying it like I would with a pro or air model.
This review feels a bit like a documentary. It’s something that very few people would buy, and kind of a computing marvel. I’d never buy one but find it fascinating to stop and see what’s achievable in the monitor space at the moment. Also the cinematography was great (p.s. $1000 for a monitor coating 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣)
Agreed! It's not for the average consumer. Thanks for the review. As a tech enthusiast, I'm always interested in the opinions of creatives informing the public.
Great roundup of the pros and cons. Thought I’d add that the LG 5k is quite hard to get in the EU and Apple have removed if from their EU stores. However I’d recommend the iMac. Granted it’s a bit much for just a nice display, but it’s still a fraction of the XDR display and it’s the full 218 dpi 👍🏻
Can’t wait until I can one day afford this screen. I think it will be a great addition to my creative workflow with me wanting to be more in coding, graphic design, editing video and photos, etc.
This was an excellent review. I agreed with all of your points until, right at the end when you said to buy a none Apple monitor. While, I understand your reasons still, I always prefer to have a complete Apple system (keyboard, track pad, mouse, etc.). So, in place of a Pro XDR display would pick-up a 27-inch iMac with its 5K display or even better a discontinued (now at a much lower price) space gray 8/10 core 27-inch iMac Pro with its 5K display. In addition, with both 27-inch iMac models you also get a built-in 1080p camera and very good speakers.
I know this isn't related to the video but your sweater is too nice not to ask. Where did you purchase your sweater from? I hope to get an answer! Love from Japan!
@@subway2645 yeah he always has these great plain knits, similar to supreme Jacques knits but obviously without the design and logos, that I can’t seem to find anywhere
Easiest upgrade you could make to your set up? ACOUSTIC PANELS. 30cm+ deep rockwool panels on the ceiling would soak up all that nasty boomiess from the room, and using a shotgun mic would help too.
The quality and support of the Apple products is why I always try to buy them. Compared the competition with their tech support located on the otherwise of the planet, I can clearly communicate with Apple Support and, if necessary, get to a senior tech for assistance. Makes the steep price worth it the first time you need support.
I don’t understand why “apple” made a monitor. Samsung makes all the display stuff and apple makes the rest of the hardware and software of their products
That’s not even true. Samsung only does iPhone X’s and above, LG supplied the panels for this display. As to why they made the monitor, Asus and Acer also use LG panels for their some of their displays, it’s how the game is played when a lot of technology is proprietary.
Niche market. Not many monitors out there offer 220ppi (marketing known as “Retina display”. If you look up how many displays are retina displays, there are maybe like 3 or 4 and 2 of those are Apple products and 1 of them is made in collaboration with Apple.
Going on a month here too! I like it! But all this about the "design" I put it on a monitor arm, like you and I never see its back, I guess it has nice sides or something? Looks like any other display from the front angle really
can I use 3 pro display xdr with a laptop 4090 having 3 thunderbolt4 ports ? or do i need to go for a pc biult an satisfy myself with three 5k2k displays ? I am into trading / no gaming . need a clean setup with good resolutions like 6k on all 3 displays also connect 85inch tv with hdmi2.1
Are you waiting for the Flo monitor arm? I was considering getting an Ergotron for my XDR but wondering why you decided on the Flo. Hoping for a review!
I HAVE MY IMAC 5 K SITTING AND DOING NOTHING I GOING TO USE THAT AT THE MOMENT I AM USING THE APPLE CINEMA DISPLAY 27UNC WITH A DELL 1080 HDMI DISPLAY I THINK I JUST SWAP AS YOU SAY IT BE WAIST FOR ME GREAT VIDEO THX.
If the Macbook is connected to the Anker dock, is it necessary to connect the Monitor with another cable to the Macbook? Shouldn't the connection with the dock be enough to connect the Macbook with the Monitor? Given that I connect the monitor to the dock.
Unfortunately not, I've tried it. The ProDisplay needs to be directly connected - I'm not sure on exactly why but I assume it's because of the huge 6K resolution.
What is the model of monitor arm you use? I clicked the link on the description but it just takes me to Amazon and doesn’t show a specific monitor arm like the one in the video.
I am a Trader and play games rarely ...i HAVE A ( ROG Strix Scar 18 (2023) G834JY-N6056WS LAPTOP) with ( 1x HDMI 2.1 FRL , 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C support DisplayPort/ power delivery / G-SYNC and 1x Thunderbolt4 support DisplayPort/ G-SYNC) can I buy 2 pro display xdr and use it with this laptop with full resolutions ?
Very nice. I have a question that no one answered properly. When you connect a macbookpro to a display via thunderbolt cable, does this setup harm the battery of the macbook when using it daily as a desktop unit.? Some say, the machine will recognize that it is powered up constantly and the current by pass the battery so it does not stress it. What is your advise? What is the proper and safe way to use a laptop with a desktop monitor?
Hi there, I've been looking forever for the original file that Apple supplies in "/System/Library/Desktop Pictures". I keep finding converted PNG or JPEG images that are high resolution, but not the original HEIC file. If anyone with a Pro Display XDR wants to bless us with the OG file right out of the library folder (maybe zipped so it doesn't convert on Reddit), that would be amazing!
Great review! The only thing that frustrates me is that people nag on the fact that this display only works with a Mac. Well, yeah, it's made exclusively for Mac users. Get over it! I love this thing and a beautiful monitor like this is just the design language of Apple/Mac. This is something you just don't see in the pc space.
shame on Apple they didn't add a second thunderbolt 3 port to the display so you could daisy chain more thunderbolt devices and only connect your laptop with 1 cable
Nothing in this world can ever justify the price of 5000 usd for this monitor. It is not possible. Go on a vacation that gives you life long happy memories. Or buy a new bed with a luxury mattress for the best sleep. If you have a teen you could finance it's drivers licence.
@@hwachakarter You mix up studio disply with reference monitor. It doesn't matter though, you don't need a reference monitor anyway. You probably didn't know this type of display existed before apple presented the xdr. It is a tool that TV stations use to check the actual output, it is not a monitor you look at while working.

you can use this with a pc
Aesthetics is the reason I love apple so much…even their software aesthetic. Though the iPad is the only exception.
Why is the iPad not
Venemies Tech my guess is Bc the iPad looks dated with the bezels and home button compared to the iPad Air and iPad Pro
@@PaperWolfe ipad pro has pretty decent bezels, if anything the MacBook and the rainbow Imacs have thick bezels.
I have the 8th generation iPad in silver and actually really like it. I like it because to me, it’s very affordable and that I can just use it without babying it like I would with a pro or air model.
Oh no I only have ipad out of all their products and like it very much
The Pro Display XDR is still one of the best tech out there
This review feels a bit like a documentary. It’s something that very few people would buy, and kind of a computing marvel. I’d never buy one but find it fascinating to stop and see what’s achievable in the monitor space at the moment.
Also the cinematography was great (p.s. $1000 for a monitor coating 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣)
a purely honest review I have seen in years. Thank you. It's my first time on your channel though!
Such a clean setup man! The Pro Display XDR is a beauty!
Agreed! It's not for the average consumer. Thanks for the review. As a tech enthusiast, I'm always interested in the opinions of creatives informing the public.
Omg it looks awesome! Designing on such thing is a heaven

The thumbnail is just gorgeous man!
Your intro GFX is really nice. Not overly complicated and looks cinematic
Such an aesthetic setup , phew. Would have looked perfect with a different stand imho!
I have the same monitor arm. Surprised that it can handle the 32 inches XDR Pro display!

OMG you need a podcast on to work for one of those mediation apps. I could listen to your voice all day. Ugh
Aesthetic! I mean both the display and the video.
Your intros are some of the best if not the best on RUclips .Love the content
Always makes my day when you post a video man
You make me want to get a ProDisplay XDR….even when I don’t own a mac…

Any chance to see a video on the Anker Thunderbolt Connector anytime soon? 😃

So what resolution you use for your 6K or 5K monitor? I cannot use 4K resolution for my 4K monitor since I cannot see anything with that resolution 😅
perfect review as what I was looking for 🙌🙌
Thanks for this video! Appreciate you.
Can't you plug in the monitor into the dock, so that you only have 1 cable going to your MacBook?
The XDR is my monitor crush.. haha
No way a display is worth this much money 🤦🏾♂️ the design is the best I’ve seen though.
So???
Was it an issue for you that it's just 60 hz?
Going on a month here too! I like it! But all this about the "design" I put it on a monitor arm, like you and I never see its back, I guess it has nice sides or something? Looks like any other display from the front angle really

It looks alien like. And the style if the video too. Aesthetics are 👽
218 pixel per inch but the monitor is 32 inch so in comparison with an Imac 27 inch 5K, the pixel per inch is the same and not higher right ?
Intro music giving me strong Donkey Kong Country water-level vibes.
Always like before watching the full video 👍🏼
Thx for the video.
I’m considering this monitor and / or the LG 5k.
How does the LG compare to the iMac 5k?
You deserve more views and subs!
Does the Pro display HDR have a fan inside?
Are you waiting for the Flo monitor arm?
I was considering getting an Ergotron for my XDR but wondering why you decided on the Flo. Hoping for a review!
So what monitor would you highly recommend apart from this?
Looks so clean but the anker dock looks out of place a bit. Maybe it’s the cable.

The vignette effect also appears on my MacBook Pro 14" 2021, as shown in the video at 3:00. Why does this happen? Can someone please guide me?

Weird question... Where3 did you get that jumper from?!
What is that wallpaper? I need it
what monitor arm are you upgrading to?
What stand did you use?
The real question is: how does it perform for watching RUclips?

@@hwachakarter You mix up studio disply with reference monitor. It doesn't matter though, you don't need a reference monitor anyway.

Best monitor and specs but I wouldn't spend that much money it
whenever you said H i was like it's 'aitch', not 'hhhaitch'

Yeah 2300 laptop hooked to a 5000 dollar display bit weird
Hell no this thing worth paying 6k no way....
1978 that's when email was invented
3:00 issues. This is really a shame. Most of the monitirs out there doesn't have these issues and here, you pay premium to still face issues.
? Yes they do. Every LCD monitor has the same issues. It’s a problem with LCD monitors as a whole.
Imagine using a mac in 2021.
Omg!
Apology not accepted. I deserve better. 😂
The ugly monitor arm kills the aesthetics of the XDR in addition to the clutter. To each his own. 😝
That monitor stand looks atrocious. It’s FUGLY.
Still better tha others
