The person describing the stand said it generates lots of heat so they need to put a (fancy looking) heat sink on the back. If you take their advice and chain 6 of these to one Mac Pro, what sort of heat output do you get?

#12I'm hearing that the LG displays were running out of stock, possibly in anticipation of a new Apple display. Sure enough...wait a minute, FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS?! Oh, I understand it's a reference-quality, blah, blah, blah, but I just need something to replace an aging Cinema display that was originally $1000. The fucking stand for the new display costs that much (note the audience response when that price popped on t…
So it has an insane resolution for an insane amount of money. The original monitor also had an insane resolution for the time, but did not cost 5k. 1k is pricey for a monitor, but understandable. If they had segmented and offered a lower resolution monitor for a lower price (basically, an updated Cinema/Thunderbolt display), that would have been enough. The greedy beancounters have fully taken over.
Subjective, but that's also the ugliest piece of hardware Apple has ever created.

It needs to compete on ugliness with the new Mac Pro. The design and the price, did the inmates really take over?

This is revolutionary tech though
Re: Apple Pro Display XDR
#16The real lede here is 1000nits of brightness; even the old LG Ultrafine displays capped out at 500nits.
Re: Apple Pro Display XDR
#17Did he say $999 for the stand?!!
I was laughing hard when I heard the audience grown at that announcement. The presenter's face just DROPPED. Seriously, that had to be an "Oh shit" moment.

500 seems like it's way too much to stare at all day.
Re: Apple Pro Display XDR
#19The “XDR” part of the name seems a bit out of place for an Apple product.
I guess I’m stuck in the past and Apple is really a different company now.
