Im less than 30 seconds in and I've clicked pause.... because this video is so well put together! the production quality is off the charts! 500 subs feels criminal!
The build quality is such a massive pro here. I’m so glad you called out the monitor shake when typing!! It bugs me so much and the build quality was the main reason I got the Studio Display. I just use it for basic productivity workflows and it’s so premium, crisp, and seamless. When I spend 10+ hours/day on it, quality is critical, and I haven’t looked back!
When I clicked on the video I thought it said 889k subscribers, and when I went back to click the like button, that felt about right... then I saw it was 889. You will end up with so much more! Such a great video, awesome perspective on the Studio Display, thank you! And now it's 890!
Great review man! One little correction: The MacBook Pros don't use OLED. They use MiniLED displays. This is basically a kicked up version of what's in the Pro Display XDR. They currently only use OLED in the iPhone and Apple Watch. Just thought I'd point that out. ;) Keep it up man!
Great video, but the MacBook pros are not OLED, they're LED displays with local dimming zones. Same for the Pro Display XDR. If those displays were using OLED tech, they would cost 3x the price
I'm not gonna lie bro, I just subbed to you. You understand this stuff. That's why you the GOAT. Yeah, all these people on here talking about buying this monitor and that, but that's for them. We gotta do whatever editing we're planning on doing, whether it's video editing, audio editing, etc. For the people, because the people won't have these screens and stuff. You want to make it look good on their end, not just ours. Man, that is a pro tip I love you for that brother.
Thanks for the review I just ordert one, instead of waiting for the mini LED version. Exactly your point about having more a consumer based view on things made my mind clear to go this way.
First one I got had some noticeable light leak in the upper middle edge and the speakers sounded very harsh on the higher frequencies. I boxed it up and returned it. Waited a couple days to decide whether to waste my time getting another one...Since they were still 1350 at Costco, decided to roll again. The second one has no light leakage and very uniform screen, calibration out of the box looked great and the speakers sound very good and well balanced. I'm very happy now but wow, very different experience between them.
Grreat video! You hit a couple of angles I maybe hadn't thought about or heard other reviewers mention, so that was really helpful. Thanks for posting!
I agree. I have the two Studio Display setup too and they're great monitors. My issues were the webcam, lack of daisy chain ability, and lack of stereo support. I'd love it if my Mac Studio recognized that I had two Studio Displays and gave the option for stereo sound.
Although I don't have a pair of these displays as of yet, I read in other comments to go to the Audio (MIDI) setup and there will be an option to add the other display to play stereo. Comment didn't mention what OS version was being used but it was within a year since this video was made. Hope someone can test and update here if this does indeed work or not.
I will use the recording studio monitors comparision… Studio Display is like monitors with very hi-fi, boost bass characteristics. It’s great for some pro work and serves well as a reference display. But at the same time it gives you picture that’s too polished to be used in serious graphic design work. For something like NS-10 experience in displays I go all the way with Eizo. So in theory the perfect Mac setup would be Studio Display for everyday use and something like Eizo CG 2709s for graphic design and coloring work.
I am a fellow youtuber and a Apple product fan. I am thinking on buying the Mac Studio Display. Your video helped me a lot. What I am concern is the fact that it has no power on or off button. This said thank you for the video. I really like how you approach the High Tech and I do concur with you that we must think with our own minds and not through Social Media people, I obviously subscribed to your channel. It is always nice to help each other especially when we are fellow RUclipsrs 🙏
Only thing I'll add is I have the nano display.. and I frieken love it.. just use the cloth it comes with and you're good. If you want matt, and you don't want reflection.. don't worry.. go for it!!
Great review - I love the display too. And your presentation and style are A+. Only disagreement (and everything is relative) is that the camera IMHO is excellent (firmware update?), but that is by comparison to the iMac 27 (Late 2015) this replaced (along with a blazing fast new MacBook Pro M3 Pro 1T). Subscribed - looking forward to more reviews!
Hey Mike, just watched your video and I appreciate the review. If you're still using the ASP's, you can get a few different docks that will handle both monitors with only one thunderbolt port being used from the laptop. I got the CalDigit TS4 and it's great, a bit pricy but it has a ton of function.
This is a terrific video. Thank you! I am contemplating a MacStudio to replace a 2018 iMac Pro which I have loved using. I am debating dual Studio Displays or a single XDR display. Or perhaps I try 1 Studio Display and wait to see if Apple has another monitor coming in the next 12 months. Good to know the Dual Studio Displays have worked out well for you!
Love the comment that maybe there's "too much screen" haha - 100%. I have a 49-inch ultra wide and it's... ridiculous :-). Great video thanks for taking the time.
Love your review. I love my Studio Display. The Camera is adequate. Not great, but it's better than the built in camera in my 2019 MBP i9, and I'd rather not throw a 3rd party camera up there. Maybe I'll try the continuity camera if I can find a mount. Lighting helps. I have some neewer lights in my setup, which really does help the image. The speakers are amazing. The Mic is darn good too, but I have a Blue Yeti here, so I use that. My only other nit, it should be easier to use 1) with a PC when you need to. (You can, but it's not straight forward, and that's on Apple) and 2) Need an ability to switch between Macs. (Unplugging and replugging is so old school ... it needs some sort of KVM type setup.). Overall, I'm happy. It's really good. Just not perfect.
Being used to a certain electronic language is a huge deal! Just purchased the Studio monitor to use with my old 27” iMac and new M3pro MacBook Pro 💻 🎉❤😅, I’m 🍎 all in 😊.
For myself, I want it due to the chipsets now being all Apple made and working together in synchronization with the A chipsets, so everything is seamless 🎉
Mike, great video I loved the way you presented your personal experience instead of just repeating specs. I hope that your channel grows and to that end I have subscribed. I look forward to more great content from you. God Bless you.
Great video! Also, wanted to chime in that other RUclipsrs have said that if you use these for Windows, you CANNOT control the brightness from Windows. You have to plug in a mac, change the brightness, and then switch back to the Windows machine.
As an editor, many times producers would ask me how it would sound on a regular TV. I had small speakers, along with the JBL reference monitors. I would face the small speakers to the cabinet they were sitting on. Switch to them and play back the audio. Today, I think more people have better speakers in their homes or on their televisions now that we’re all HD but back in the NTSC world, people had really awful speakers on their TVs. I have looked at the monitors in the Apple Store. It will be my next monitor.
Thank you for the video Mike. I tried a Studio Display with Nano, and gave it back after a few days. A friend of mine sold his XDR display to me (without nano) and now I'm super happy. The only thing I'm missing are the speakers, which I really liked. BTW: I'm also learning my X100V, would be interesting to watch your review :) (no pressure)
I found this review to be very honest and genuine, and as a result super helpful. I was really bummed out about the quality of camera because the monitor literally checks all of the other boxes for me. However, I work remotely as an art director in an agency environment, so half of my day is spent on Zoom calls. I'm currently using a 27" Dell monitor attached to my MacBook Pro, with the Dell functioning as my main display directly in front of me, which is great for work flow EXCEPT when I'm in a meeting. I'm either using the built-in MacBook camera, which means I'm turning my head to look into camera or look like I'm not looking, which isn't the most professional. I tried adding a cheap webcam to my Dell monitor but I want a clean desk and hate how the camera looks on top of the monitor, not to mention how wide it looks on screen. Is the built-in camera really that bad? Any suggestions for what I can do instead?
While the camera is not the best, it’s perfectly acceptable for FaceTime/Zoom calls. You know who cares about your zoom call picture quality? Exactly no one. Nobody cares as long as it doesn’t look like it’s coming from a phone with a layer of Vaseline over the camera, and the meeting isn’t too long. Th camera is just as good if not better than most of the zoom meeting cameras you’re looking at. Thankfully it’s built in to the monitor so at least you have something that isn’t taking up a port on the back. Really, I was looking at the footage from the camera in this video and it was definitely passable. If you need a pro camera setup for video production, get a pro video setup from Sony or Cannon or something.
Great video, looking forward to a video on the X100V; if I had the money I think the X100V would be the camera I’d get… but we shall see your thoughts on it
Really enjoyed the video a lot. Agreed about the value of this monitor. I have a lot of apple products and monitor is overkill. 5k has no value for me and the lack of inputs is really discouraging
Objective and Honest video! Mike, can you tell me, because the stand does not support vertical adjustments, how much cm, or for you inches is the space between the bottom side of the display and your deck? I can't find anywhere online this height.
Excellent video/long term review. I have an identical twin-head setup and have nothing negative to say as well. Yes, they're expensive but ultimately, you get what you pay for and you *feel* it ever time you use them. What camera are you using there for you shot (Sony A7?) Keep up the great content 👍🏻
I’m looking to buy 3 and you think 2 is too much lol before anyone thinks I’m tripping just know I am a Software Engineer who currently owns a 27” 5k 2019 iMac Pro and a 27” LG Ultrafine 5k monitor and have been using it for 3+ years. Before that I had dual display with the previous iMac and Apple cinema display. I m USED TO 2 screens and find my self needing another screen Anyhow, great video. Samsung now has a clone called the ViewFinity S9. I want to see what that’s like before buying 3 displays @1600 a pop. I hope they release in the next 2-3 months
Watch out for the build quality. Someone saw it at CES and apparently found that it wobbled. I’m also looking forward to the release, it might be a good choice (though it seems to be coming with a matte screen).
You forgot that because it's a 5K screen: 1) A 5K screen (14.7 million pixels) has 77% more pixels than a 4K screen (8,294,400 million pixels), again adding to its far smoother appearance, especially when utilizing design apps like Illustrator, etc... 2) It works perfectly with Mac OS's scaling of 2560 x 1440 (5K is 5120 × 2880), making it 'retina' i.e. way smoother than a 4K screen with is 3840 x 2160. Using a 4K screen on a Mac, because of the way Mac OS wants to scale, will essentially either: make the 4K screen 'best for scaled' in which everything looks too massive or if you set it to a scale that replicates the desktop size of Mac OS natively on 'retina' screens, it will actually utilize more GPU / CPU power, as the division doesn't equal non-fractional numbers... now that's fine if you have a powerful enough Mac, but just know that a good 3% to 5% of your computing power will be lost to MacOS having to work extra to make a non-retina display 'mimic' a 'retina' display.
A few of your points are not valid. First of all, pixel count doesn't tell anything. Compared to a "4K", you get 20-25% higher resolution on the Studio monitors. That's the correct way to address the difference. Your eyes see PPI, not pixels. And even the PPI number is not telling the truth, as it takes the number from both vertical and horisontal. The %K displays 20-25&% better resolution and that's it! No one edit in 2K, so the point makes little sense. At least no professional do. And as for pros, they often work with 2,8K, 4,5K, 6K and so on. As for video editing, like in a professional setup, it should have been 4096x2160P and scaled up from there. So about 5461 x 2880, if my math is correct. Most reference monitors supports the full 4K resolution. And reference monitors gets around odd scalings, by simply using less of the screen, so on a 4096 x 2160 monitor, using the display as a video monitor, they simply only use that area of the screen.
I am considering going ahead and purchasing the Apple Studio Display to use as a secondary monitor on my 27” iMac Late 2014 iMac 5K. Can you share which cable do I need to purchase to make this connection happen? Thank you in advance for your help!
IFFFF it works, you would need a thunderbolt 2 to thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) cable. or a thunderbolt 2 to thunderbolt 2 cable with an adapter. Again, not sure if it would work but thats the way I imagine it would
the only think that could get me to where I would buy an apple display is half price, better camera, included height adjustment and I am an apple user.
@@CaroAbebe that does not mean you are not being gouged in both situations. I am so waiting patiently for Juicy Crumb to get the 5K boards ready. All these dead and useless 5K iMacs will breath new life again for such a low price. It is the SAME screen.
@@mikefolabi yea I guess you are lucky :) mine got the soft buzzing sound coming from the top and bottom speaker hole. Not sure what to do haha. Just received few hours ago
I've had two UltraFine 5Ks for a long while.. one consistent frustration is Mac can't seem to tell them apart, so when I reconnect, it's hit and miss which one it will select for my camera. I use one vertical, so this is extra silly. Have you seen that with your dual setup? Do they solve it? Can you tell which is which in all the system drop downs for selecting camera, speaker, mic?
That's one of the cool things I've noticed about these monitors. I have NEVER had the monitors get mixed up or not displayed properly. It doesn't matter which port I plug them into, they alway project exactly how I set them up. I found a way to name the monitors so when I use the cameras (which is basically never) I can click on camera Left or camera right.
I have the same issue with my dual BenQ SW2700PT monitors. They will work fine and then all of a sudden flip the next time I connect. I’m strongly considering moving back to a single display and using my MBP as my secondary one and possible iPad as a third one. Problem is that I thought my BenQ’s would have a better resale, but a 5 year old 2K monitor with 99% Adobe RGB support is only worth around $200 each now. 😢
I took the plunge and got a Studio Display and a Pro Display XDR. I just couldn't deal dropping down from "Retina" resolution for all the staring at type I do all day. And I really wanted larger/more space than 27". Also got fed up with the ghosting on my LG UltraFine, which I only notice now that I am in a very bright (lots of windows) environment and run at 100% brightness most of the day. So far so great. I mean, it better be, considering the $$$. My first two cars together cost less lolz.
I am curious as to your opinion of the XDR versus the Studio Display since you have the advantage of working with both. I have been considering either Dual Studio Displays or a single Pro Display XDR along with a new Mac Studio to upgrade from my 2018iMac Pro. Thank you!@@ambrose.little
@@TerrapinSuite Day to day work I don’t see a difference in quality between them. (I don’t do graphics/video.) I got the XDR as the 32” option with that high resolution. I run it vertically, and it’s great for coding-the extra space especially vertical is useful. So unless you need the extra space on one, personally don’t think it’s worth the extra $$ to get the XDR. YMMV.
I don‘t understand why these are not capable for daisychain. Money is not a big deal for me, but 2 cables would not be an option for me. I don‘t want to feel like its 2014, when I used 2 DP cables to connect my MBP to 2 4K Dell displays and they were back then able to run MST via one cable (but Mac OS never supported it). I hated it so much, that I changed for an MBP 14 and now I need two cables again 😩
Not going to lie, if I'm in a Zoom Call, I don't want to use a 4k webcam or use my iPhone via Continuity Camera. The details ARE way too clear vs the studio display's camera 😂
I’d expect them to accept the return if it came from the factory like that. If it happened after the fact, I’m sure they’ll fix it but they’ll definitely charge you.
@@mikefolabi Tha KS for answering! I'm gonna buy one but I won't if they are OK with dead pixels and I can't exchange it when I get it. And I certainly will not let them charge me if it's from factory straight to me.

Just checked your website and wanted to say that your work is phenomenal! Keep it up!
Arriving tomorrow, with M4 Mac mini! Replacing 2013 27” iMac. Being 77 years old my Eyes will be able to see Clearly now! Thanks for sharing
I rarely comment, but I wanted to let you know to keep going. This content is exceptional. Your personality makes us want more as well.
Great video, but the MacBook pros are not OLED, they're LED displays with local dimming zones. Same for the Pro Display XDR. If those displays were using OLED tech, they would cost 3x the price
Hey! You’re 100% right. Thanks for that clarification
Whoops
3x less you mean lol. And XDR is standard LED not even mini
Great video. Your easy-going manner and take on the products earned a new subscriber. Can’t wait to see more.
Another great video. Some brilliant points in there - and the 'Too much screen' made me laugh! - nice one and thank you!
Thanks! “Too much of a good thing” they say. 😂

I contend that you don't need power on/off as it comes to life almost immediately when the Mac wakes from sleep.
Just got a pair for my M2 studio ultra👍🏻
Only thing I'll add is I have the nano display.. and I frieken love it.. just use the cloth it comes with and you're good. If you want matt, and you don't want reflection.. don't worry.. go for it!!
This was an excellent review video to watch. You made me chuckle many times. I learned something new. Great job!
Just became subscriber 811. You’ll be at like 300K soon if you keep putting out this quality
Great review - I love the display too. And your presentation and style are A+.

You’re the first person I’ve seen that’s talked about the use case in comparison to audio monitors.
Hey Mike, just watched your video and I appreciate the review. If you're still using the ASP's, you can get a few different docks that will handle both monitors with only one thunderbolt port being used from the laptop. I got the CalDigit TS4 and it's great, a bit pricy but it has a ton of function.
great content and delivery, dude.
Well done, objective, factual review. Thanks!
Mike, wow, solid video. Just stumbled on your channel. Nicely done!
Sorry to dog pile it on here but please keep this up!. Your presentation style is engaging, fresh and infectious. Your content is also very helpful🙂
This is a terrific video. Thank you! I am contemplating a MacStudio to replace a 2018 iMac Pro which I have loved using. I am debating dual Studio Displays or a single XDR display. Or perhaps I try 1 Studio Display and wait to see if Apple has another monitor coming in the next 12 months. Good to know the Dual Studio Displays have worked out well for you!

Super useful personal insights. I have a nano texture iMac, had awful glare so I love it. Will get glossy for next one!
Being used to a certain electronic language is a huge deal! Just purchased the Studio monitor to use with my old 27” iMac and new M3pro MacBook Pro 💻 🎉❤😅, I’m 🍎 all in 😊.
Very nice and enjoyable video review. Thanks!
Great review! Keen to pick up a pair like you, currently rocking dual 32 inch monitors and the tennis feel is very real haha
very good advice on the nano texture... I was wondering about that.
For myself, I want it due to the chipsets now being all Apple made and working together in synchronization with the A chipsets, so everything is seamless 🎉
When you boot up have you ever experienced the screens switching places?
Like the left screen suddenly is the right, and visa versa.
Mike, great video I loved the way you presented your personal experience instead of just repeating specs. I hope that your channel grows and to that end I have subscribed. I look forward to more great content from you. God Bless you.
This is a great review and funny too. Thanks.
Fantastic video and content - thank you! Out of curiosity what type of camera and mic did you use?????
Great video! Also, wanted to chime in that other RUclipsrs have said that if you use these for Windows, you CANNOT control the brightness from Windows. You have to plug in a mac, change the brightness, and then switch back to the Windows machine.
Install the Bootcamp drivers on your PC. (Really easy to do actually, even on non-macs). Once you do that, you have all the controls you need.

That XDR is a killer monitor. The x100v video is coming soon. Spoiler… I love it.
I have a 32" Pro Display XDR and I love it. I some times think I would like a Studio display to go along with my XDR but I don't know.
Very jealous of your XDR. I've seen a couple people with one of each. Would definitely be an interesting setup.
You seem cool. Subbed. You really think the dual monitors are too much? I have two in my cart right now and debating. Thanks
Great video, thank you!! What camera did you use to film this video?
I just picked up my second apple display monitor myself. How's your setup going after a year to this point? Thanks
Great review. Thanks. Do you a link for the riser you are using?

What do I do about the webcam - how bad is it - is it super bad if you regularly have business zoom alls?
Great video! But .. are u still doing RUclips ?
I mean the lasted video is 1 yrs old now
Nice videonand great quality, keep it up man 👌💪😎
Do you feel like just one monitor would be enough, or do you really like having two of them?
I'm currently using only 1 monitor. Definitely more than enough for most tasks.
Great video, looking forward to a video on the X100V; if I had the money I think the X100V would be the camera I’d get… but we shall see your thoughts on it
Thanks! Working on that video now!
Really enjoyed the video a lot. Agreed about the value of this monitor. I have a lot of apple products and monitor is overkill. 5k has no value for me and the lack of inputs is really discouraging
Glad you liked it! It's definitely one of the most polarizing apple products to be released in a while.
if you wont to only have one cable get this CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 Dock
What’s the lamp you have on the right of the video?
SOLID video!
Thanks!
I got 2 Pro Display XDR’s and i picked a studio display and it compliments my other displays so much (i use the Mac Studio ultra)
Let’s be real. You got a 24 inch 1980p monitor
Damn…
The M1 Max has an OLED display?
No
Great Review!!
Objective and Honest video! Mike, can you tell me, because the stand does not support vertical adjustments, how much cm, or for you inches is the space between the bottom side of the display and your deck? I can't find anywhere online this height.
love that you’re rocking the silver laptop! classic for the win! (i too have the silver one)😊
I had to! They paid homage to the older powerbook design so I had to go with the OG color.
Great video! Do you use them with photoshop and print? Read that they only have 86% RGB
Nice Video, where did you get your glasses from? Which brand is it?
Thanks! They’re warby parker
Excellent video/long term review. I have an identical twin-head setup and have nothing negative to say as well. Yes, they're expensive but ultimately, you get what you pay for and you *feel* it ever time you use them. What camera are you using there for you shot (Sony A7?) Keep up the great content 👍🏻
Great Video ! Keep it up
Great video
Great review! Thanks!
Perfectly agree, specially on the camera. Why such a beautiful monotor malkes us look so ugly?? Unfair :)
I’m looking to buy 3 and you think 2 is too much lol before anyone thinks I’m tripping just know I am a Software Engineer who currently owns a 27” 5k 2019 iMac Pro and a 27” LG Ultrafine 5k monitor and have been using it for 3+ years. Before that I had dual display with the previous iMac and Apple cinema display. I m USED TO 2 screens and find my self needing another screen
Anyhow, great video. Samsung now has a clone called the ViewFinity S9. I want to see what that’s like before buying 3 displays @1600 a pop. I hope they release in the next 2-3 months
Watch out for the build quality. Someone saw it at CES and apparently found that it wobbled. I’m also looking forward to the release, it might be a good choice (though it seems to be coming with a matte screen).
@@CaroAbebe Thanks. I was looking to put my next monitor on a arm
Almost any monitor not made by Apple wobbles
awesome vid man
You forgot that because it's a 5K screen:
1) A 5K screen (14.7 million pixels) has 77% more pixels than a 4K screen (8,294,400 million pixels), again adding to its far smoother appearance, especially when utilizing design apps like Illustrator, etc...
2) It works perfectly with Mac OS's scaling of 2560 x 1440 (5K is 5120 × 2880), making it 'retina' i.e. way smoother than a 4K screen with is 3840 x 2160. Using a 4K screen on a Mac, because of the way Mac OS wants to scale, will essentially either: make the 4K screen 'best for scaled' in which everything looks too massive or if you set it to a scale that replicates the desktop size of Mac OS natively on 'retina' screens, it will actually utilize more GPU / CPU power, as the division doesn't equal non-fractional numbers... now that's fine if you have a powerful enough Mac, but just know that a good 3% to 5% of your computing power will be lost to MacOS having to work extra to make a non-retina display 'mimic' a 'retina' display.
A few of your points are not valid.
First of all, pixel count doesn't tell anything. Compared to a "4K", you get 20-25% higher resolution on the Studio monitors. That's the correct way to address the difference. Your eyes see PPI, not pixels. And even the PPI number is not telling the truth, as it takes the number from both vertical and horisontal. The %K displays 20-25&% better resolution and that's it!
No one edit in 2K, so the point makes little sense. At least no professional do. And as for pros, they often work with 2,8K, 4,5K, 6K and so on.
As for video editing, like in a professional setup, it should have been 4096x2160P and scaled up from there. So about 5461 x 2880, if my math is correct. Most reference monitors supports the full 4K resolution. And reference monitors gets around odd scalings, by simply using less of the screen, so on a 4096 x 2160 monitor, using the display as a video monitor, they simply only use that area of the screen.
I am considering going ahead and purchasing the Apple Studio Display to use as a secondary monitor on my 27” iMac Late 2014 iMac 5K. Can you share which cable do I need to purchase to make this connection happen? Thank you in advance for your help!
IFFFF it works, you would need a thunderbolt 2 to thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) cable. or a thunderbolt 2 to thunderbolt 2 cable with an adapter. Again, not sure if it would work but thats the way I imagine it would
I disagree about the cameras. I think they're more than fine, especially for webcams, and the centre stage is a killer feature.
How do you daisy chain the Apple Studio displays?
By re-watching the video.
Sorry to bother you. When you play audio Do the speakers play at the same time? From the 2 monitors I mean
yea you have to set it up as an aggregate audio output for both monitors to work
Dope ass channel. Subbed!
the only think that could get me to where I would buy an apple display is half price, better camera, included height adjustment and I am an apple user.
Well half price isn’t realistic, the only other 5k monitor isn’t half price and it’s plastic.
@@CaroAbebe that does not mean you are not being gouged in both situations. I am so waiting patiently for Juicy Crumb to get the 5K boards ready. All these dead and useless 5K iMacs will breath new life again for such a low price. It is the SAME screen.
great explanation on the HDR and OLED displays.
Except he's wrong.
Great stuff!
Do you hear High-pitched buzzing sound/noise from your Apple Studio Display?
Not that I have noticed. A couple people have asked me that. Not sure if I just got lucky or I’m not close enough to hear it
@@mikefolabi yea I guess you are lucky :) mine got the soft buzzing sound coming from the top and bottom speaker hole. Not sure what to do haha. Just received few hours ago
@@ahyangkoko Have you tried it with any other apple device? I wonder if it’s your cable or maybe something else coming from your device?
Thnaks man, great review +1 sub
The Macbook pro's don't have OLED. They have Mini LED.
correct. my bad
I've had two UltraFine 5Ks for a long while.. one consistent frustration is Mac can't seem to tell them apart, so when I reconnect, it's hit and miss which one it will select for my camera. I use one vertical, so this is extra silly. Have you seen that with your dual setup? Do they solve it? Can you tell which is which in all the system drop downs for selecting camera, speaker, mic?
That's one of the cool things I've noticed about these monitors. I have NEVER had the monitors get mixed up or not displayed properly. It doesn't matter which port I plug them into, they alway project exactly how I set them up. I found a way to name the monitors so when I use the cameras (which is basically never) I can click on camera Left or camera right.
I have the same issue with my dual BenQ SW2700PT monitors. They will work fine and then all of a sudden flip the next time I connect. I’m strongly considering moving back to a single display and using my MBP as my secondary one and possible iPad as a third one.
Problem is that I thought my BenQ’s would have a better resale, but a 5 year old 2K monitor with 99% Adobe RGB support is only worth around $200 each now. 😢
I took the plunge and got a Studio Display and a Pro Display XDR. I just couldn't deal dropping down from "Retina" resolution for all the staring at type I do all day. And I really wanted larger/more space than 27". Also got fed up with the ghosting on my LG UltraFine, which I only notice now that I am in a very bright (lots of windows) environment and run at 100% brightness most of the day. So far so great. I mean, it better be, considering the $$$. My first two cars together cost less lolz.
I am curious as to your opinion of the XDR versus the Studio Display since you have the advantage of working with both. I have been considering either Dual Studio Displays or a single Pro Display XDR along with a new Mac Studio to upgrade from my 2018iMac Pro. Thank you!@@ambrose.little
@@TerrapinSuite Day to day work I don’t see a difference in quality between them. (I don’t do graphics/video.) I got the XDR as the 32” option with that high resolution. I run it vertically, and it’s great for coding-the extra space especially vertical is useful.
So unless you need the extra space on one, personally don’t think it’s worth the extra $$ to get the XDR. YMMV.
This helped, thanks :)
Great video! Appreciate the insights. Also why do I sense you’re filming this on the R5?
Thank you! I’m actually shooting on my FX6 and a7iv
@@mikefolabi Dope! Been waiting for an FX6 to show up and refused to pay 10K when I can wait. The internet is high rn with those prices. lol.
What camera are you using ?
Sony fx6 and a7iv
I don‘t understand why these are not capable for daisychain. Money is not a big deal for me, but 2 cables would not be an option for me. I don‘t want to feel like its 2014, when I used 2 DP cables to connect my MBP to 2 4K Dell displays and they were back then able to run MST via one cable (but Mac OS never supported it). I hated it so much, that I changed for an MBP 14 and now I need two cables again 😩
subbed!!
Not going to lie, if I'm in a Zoom Call, I don't want to use a 4k webcam or use my iPhone via Continuity Camera. The details ARE way too clear vs the studio display's camera 😂
I legit laughed out loud when I heard "ashy"
man you're funny 😁
Dead pixels! Can Apple deny a return if it have dead pixels? At that bad ass price I think you can expect a none dead pixels monitor right?
I’d expect them to accept the return if it came from the factory like that. If it happened after the fact, I’m sure they’ll fix it but they’ll definitely charge you.
@@mikefolabi Tha KS for answering! I'm gonna buy one but I won't if they are OK with dead pixels and I can't exchange it when I get it. And I certainly will not let them charge me if it's from factory straight to me.
