I hate this trend in ‘ultra modern’ websites with the infinite scroll pulling you through some sort of animation. The website is near unusable as a result.

#32As a person who works on a Mac but uses a Windows PC for gaming: a pity this only has USB-C inputs, so you won't be able to connect a PC with an RTX 30xx card to it. Still very cool though.
To connect my windows desktop to lg ultrafine - I use a bidirectional display port to thunderbolt 3 cable (amazon basics)

#33Webcam and sound aside, the display specs seems very similar to the LG Ultrafine 5k released all the way back in 2017 for $1299: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HMUB2LL/A/lg-ultrafine-5k... The Studio Display is an additional $300.
Ah, so good opportunity for folks looking to save 300 dollars and still want to buy display from Apple.

I have two of these. They are plagued with bezel cracking, uniformity, and other issues.
Benq's is pretty good but whoever stuck those checkbox-filling speakers into the design is making a cruel joke at everyone else's expense. I get better sound out of my phone. Way, way better sound.

#35I realize that as a staunch Linux user I'm not in their target demographic, but... wow that website is slightly motion sickness inducing. Is it as bad to scroll through this on a mac as it is on linux? I use a mouse with an actual wheel, maybe they don't optimize for that kind of legacy device...? Edit: it's also just so hard to scroll exactly to the points where the information is presented. I just mostly end up at…

It is. Despite their investment in desktop hardware (finally!) they completely forgot how to do desktop software. Ten years ago all those animations where buttery smooth even if they were a weird custom "video" code that assembled them out of separate PNGs.

#36Would be nice to have >5K resolutions to have more pixel density. Alas, macOS doesn't support any native scaling other than 100% and 200%. So if they did release e.g. a 27" 8K monitor, the text would either be too small, or they'd have to use bitmap scaling to make it bigger in which case there'd be no advantage of having an 8K monitor. (EDIT: To clarify, all other scaling factors are done by rendering at either 100%…
I’m running at neither 100% or 200% on my 4k 27”…

#37Sadly no HDMI or DisplayPort, so can't use it for Xbox.
Sadly only 60 Hz
Seems like a really gorgeous update to this old thing - https://www.adorama.com/lot27md5klb.html?utm_source=adl-gbas...
I hope they do 4k@120hz in the next version!

I'm confused by your post. macOS definitely supports fractional scaling since 2012.

Yeah there was no mention of local dimming or refresh rate so it seems more like a refresh of that display with the new Apple design. Though for refresh rate I kind of understand since I don't think there are any 5k 120hz displays on the market. I also noticed that it only has a single thunderbolt port, so I'm not sure if you can daisy chain the displays. Even just adding local dimming would have been a huge difference maker but it likely would cannibalize the Pro Display XDR sales.
Re: Apple announces 27-inch 5K Studio Display
#40Any mentions of the refresh rate? I've been waiting for a 4K/5K display that supports 120 Hz to pair nicely with my 2021 MBP, but it looks like the only available options so far are funky gaming displays: https://tonsky.me/blog/monitors-mac/
Looks like 60hz. I don't think anybody has 5k/120hz working yet.
Yup, i feel like nobody cares about monitor tech, i waited for 4k/120hz IPS for a long time
