Apple’s Studio Display is quite an oddball in 2022…

Cool video Marques! Would love to hear you more on resolution scaling
I like it at the very end when he got honest with us … agree its overpriced for what you actually get, and paying for the stand is a complete joke.
I like the ending
meanwhile I'm using 4k 34 inch lg I got for less than 300$ tax included 😀 I mean wth apple? 😀
No surprises here. Apple just knowing people will buy their shit regardless of how much they are really ripping them off
It is only 27" – so ehrm not even that much space on the screen at all. Oo

LCD?????????
Apple will never give you the best of hardware; they'll always release it within the next iteration as an 'upgraded' version!
Excellent review! Thank you for reinforcing my opinion about this absurdly overpriced monitor. I say this after spending $5,600 + tax on a MacStudio. I wanted to stop searching for the monitor, but no such luck. Sometimes Apple is just too greedy. I will keep looking for a monitor that has all or (most of) the specs you just mentioned, that will appropriately pair with a Mac Studio for a creator.
60hz lolllllllllll
Way overpriced, still buying it though! 😉
You know, this one product has leveraged me away from Apple a bit. It is sooo expensive and yet crippled in so many ways it didn’t have to be. I can swallow some pricy computers, but this seems to be an in your face to consumers, prosumers. I needed a new business desk monitor for my loaded M1 MBA and finally went with the Samsung M8. It’s a compromise, but not a huge one. It was $579 on sale. Today, I was shocked when I found myself looking at Samsung phones. So often Apple rides the knife edge with it’s customers on price. When it goes too far, like it has with the studio display at $2000, it risks losing them from the eco-system.
For Apple users desperate for a 4K-144Hz experience, I, as an M1 Max Mac Studio user in macOS 12.4, currently using a GIGABYTE M28U monitor (USB-C, HDMI 2.1, DP1.4) with an OWC Thunderbolt 4 cable, it actually works. It's much cheaper than the Studio Display and has the advantage of a higher refresh rate, though its USB-C port gives only 15W of PD.
For me, a high-refresh-rate experience is a much more important standard comparing monitors.
Apple made headphones and we all know how that went. Don't tell them to make speakers because people will buy that trash for 2-3000$ will sound like 300$ speakers, and will imagine that is how GOOD audio sounds like, and to be honest 95% of people never in their entire life heard hi quality audio.
I feel Apple's goal when they make a product is to confuse the buyers.
manufacturers should just give you the screen itself and you go out and buy the hardware to mount it to… so dumb that the stand is basically half the consumer price of the damn thing lol. the chances of that power cable going are pretty slim… but in that event i would sooner rip the thing apart and rewire it myself then ship the whole thing across the country
Yes, Apple should make speakers!
I'm sorry, but since when do Apple people ask if "it's a good deal"?
