As 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.

There are bidirectional DisplayPort USB-C cables, as well as DisplayPort+USB-A -> USB-C cables/adapters that work with the XDR display at 6k, or there are PCIe cards that add a USB-C port with DisplayPort alt-mode support

Only problem is that you'll probably need to extract a BootCamp driver to control brightness/volume, assuming one will exist for this monitor.

(well, if it supports HDR input, you'd use Window's SDR brightness to control it that way instead)

I 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…

> Is it as bad to scroll through this on a mac as it is on linux 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.

FYI the Studio Display website was outsourced to an agency, and not developed in-house by Apple engineers. Outsourcing rarely improves the quality of software.

No 120hz listed in the tech specs, that’s gonna be jarring for people with a M1 macbook pro.

I hardly notice when switching between my M1Pro monitor and larger 27" monitor. Sure my monitor do support 144Hz, but im running it at 60Hz... because docking station

There is a world of difference between 60 Hz and 144 Hz, though. I don’t think I can go back to anything less than 120.

It's laggy on Firefox in in a 2014 MBP as well. I won't blame Apple, this is just the state of web animation with CSS3 and Lottie. Weird to think that Flash handled this kind of animation seamlessly on browsers 15 years ago.

I don't think (for me) the issue is how smooth the scrolling is. It's the fact that these animations are there at all. Like... who wants to see these? They add nothing and add huge visual confusion...

Flash then wasn't dealing with as high resolution content though
