I didn't return my Apple Studio Display

I’ve been researching good monitors to upgrade from my Acer UM.CX2AA.P01 34” When the studio display got released I started to get excited. After all the reviews I’ve read I will definitely NOT buy it. Thanks for writing this!

Planning on saving up until the Pro Display XDR gets updated and getting that instead.

Rumors say there could be a ProMotion capable display in the works, to be released in the fall. Might be the successor to the Pro XDR (at a lower price hopefully).

I highly doubt that you’ll be seeing a 120hz apple monitor in this price range this year.

It’s a bit cute that most reviewers panned this display because it wasn’t the Pro XDR display at this price,

A sibling to the XDR offering pro motion would be 10k without the stand.

I think tech reviews of anything monitor and graphics related on the Apple side of things have generally been bad takes for a while. (panning of Blackmagic eGPUs, XDR)

I think people got confused by the availability of retina displays on iPhone/iPad and laptops.

34" 1440p is a great form factor but the PPI is pretty bad. I'm considering 5k2k (2160p) ultrawides, but holding out to see if anything new comes out (both available 5k2k monitors are several years old now).
