Appreciate the detailed review, and your point on matching the 218ppi pixel density with macOS. However, let me share my personal standpoint. That level of pixel density leads to much smaller on-screen elements on 27-inch monitors, which in my case, causes eye strain and reading discomfort. Given this, I found my sweet spot with dual 4K monitors running at 200% scaling. This setup not only ensures comfortable viewing and reading, and is still quite sharp, but also provides extensive screen space, much more than a single 5k monitor, while costing less than a single 5K Apple display setup.

@RandomUser2401

10 ай бұрын

4K at 200% scaling is just wasting an enormous amount of content you can fit. Given they are 27", 150% or at least 175% still give reasonably large UI elements while fitting a ton more content compared to 1440p at 100% scaling.

@andybrice2711

@@RandomUser2401 While it's true that 150% or 175% scaling setting offers a good balance between space and the size of UI elements, there is another aspect to consider. The 150% or 175% scaling is a non-integer value, results in macOS having to make approximations when rendering. This can lead to a slightly less crisp image as compared to pure 200% scaling. At 200% scaling, macOS renders the screen at twice the resolution in both dimensions, so each pixel in the lower-resolution 'image' cleanly matches up with a 2x2 block of pixels on the higher-resolution screen. This results in clean lines and text that's free from blur or distortion.

Ngl, you got a real laugh out of me when saying that Apple had the was the correct ppi. Then I got to thinking and yeah, we should prioritize ppi, that’s a smarter way of measuring resolution because as you later stated, for 4k the pixel amount stays the same and the screen size can change and will give varying sharpness. That’s why I like MAC address!

The video I was waiting for. Thank you!

There is a company called Innocn that makes 3 Mini LED 4K monitors, 27 inch 60 hertz $499 27' 165 hz, $749 and 32 inch 144 hz $899 all with 100% P3 and HDR 1000. These are the monitors you want if you need a bigger monitor to compliment the Macbook Pro or iPad Pro Mini LED display. I first bought the 60 hertz monitor and later picked up the 32 inch just because high refresh rate monitor are great for Pro Audio with moving meters and graphs. I even turned the 32 inch into a touch display with one of those infrared USB snap on kits for $80 to use as a live audio controller when working outside in the bright sun using the Vivid app and pushing the panel to 1000 nits all the time. Just remember to turn on local dimming in the menu when you get the monitor. Mini-LED is just the perfect style monitor for me, I tried a couple OLED monitors and they were too dark and dim. Even at 500 nits OLED doesn't get the same pop as mini LED when watching HDR content. But I would like to see a 5K Mini-LED monitor if even at 60 hertz just to compete with the Pro Display XDR.

Some of what you mentioned about scaling isn't entirely true. Nowadays scaling is performed on the display although it can be performed on the gpu. It's more about choosing resolutions that scale niceley with Apple's resolutions to avoid uneven scaling artifacts. This is less prevalent on Windows machines as they are more flexible about different displays and scaling and have cleartype.

Great video. I face the same problem when looking for a monitor for a desktop mac. Unfortunately they are both too expensive for me. This is why I am so excited for the m3 imac pro. Unless of course they make that overpriced too, lol.

ill defo look into it as im fedup with LGs 4k monitor ive had since may 2020. major issue was the screen having a peace of dirt under the lcd then hdmi1 port broke even tho its a fullsized one. i did get rid of the dirt but now its got two dark dirt marks behind its backlight thing im hoping to get the LCD replaced my self as a SelfFix Project but im going to try getting close to a apple display like thing

For me the sharpness is necessary as a software engineer as I mainly look at text all day long and the studio display just looks nice as well

Love the casual artistic approach. And seeing people that are seen less.

Do gaming monitors benefit from high ppi and is it necessary for any gaming use cases?

How well does Mac OS work with something like the LG CX48? You'd be sitting further away so the resolution scaling from 5k down might not be as noticeable. Been tempted to get a M2 Mac Mini as a lower power (energy-wise) WFH machine.

Does it matter for windows if you go 1080p 1440p or 4k?

What iPad stand is she using? The blue & green one

most people i know struggle with a 32" 4k display with 100% scaling. one of the most common issues I have seen while supporting large companies when upgrading monitors, is people complaining about text being too small , and of course the scaling in windows is rubbish... so higher PPI without proper scaling is lost on most.

This is mostly an education issue (and windows should default to maybe 150% scaling at that size+rez). I am aware some software won't scale correctly (but it SHOULD be larger, if soft), but majority of apps that most people use does scale. I'm a pro software dev and I use 24" 4K with 200% scaling. 1440p @ 24" is just not sharp enough.

Yes, but how is macOS on those 8k monitors? Is 8k giving up something for the extra pixels? How much of a perceptible difference?

Why does the scaling not in MacOS not work well with 1440p displays when the Thunderbolt display was 1440p?

How much does the stand cost?

Would love an update on the samsung s9, more details on the color accuracy after calibration etc..

Sitting here with a 1440p 170hz HDR monitor next to a 4k 60hz. I never notice the pixel difference but definitely noticed the refresh rate and black level difference.

I bought a pro art CRV because of one of the mac address advice and i am very happy with it. As a developer (not graphic designer) i can’t see the difference in sharpness with the 5k imac display. The price was 600€ in France 2 month ago.

Using a 4k monitor on macOS gave me a headache because of the display scaling issues. Sprung for a Kuycon G27X 5k monitor. Half the price of the studio display and uses the same panel. Pretty happy now.

I run 2 4K LG displays (model: 27BL85U-W) with my Mac Studio and I'm fine with it. My current settings are set to use a scaled resolution with them and I thought this was fine, but now that I think of it, it might be why I seem to have more RAM issues than other Mac users I know. Assuming the RAM use is increased due to the scaled resolution setting. For example, I run these 2 4K displays and I am currently going on 5 days of no shutdown or even sleep mode with my setup. My memory usage is currently at 45% with a few Safari windows open, a few Firefox windows open, Discord, and a small game. Occasionally Safari seems to have an issue when I try to type. Beach ball cursor issue. One of my brothers owns one of the newer iMacs, unsure the specs, but he does have a 2nd display connected to it. I'm unsure his display settings, but he says he only ever restarts for an OS update and rarely puts it to sleep. He tells me he never has the issues I seem to have. I have had the issues I've described above when I used to own an Intel iMac, an Intel Mac Mini, and even the M1 Mac Mini. Have I been using my Macs wrong all these years?

You forgot the lg ultrafine line, however the lg 4k revised model breaks the resolution.

As someone with a 4k 43 inch monitor I have to choose between scaling too small or too big… If I choose in between softwares such as Blender will be noticeably slower because of the supersampling … Really hope they fix this in the future.

I am wanting to add a second monitor to my iMac 24 inch set up (2022 model) Do you reccomend i do the samsung for $999 or the studio ?? Its literally just going to be a second display for day to day office work but i want and need it to look similar to my imac display for eye fatigue, and cohesiveness.

I wish the studio display was cheaper but a glossy screen is a must for me. Maybe Apple will make a cheaper version in the future. When I was looking for a new computer I decided against a Mac mini because I couldn’t find a display that met the Apple criteria for a price I was happy with. Ended up with a MacBook instead. Essentially, the intended resolution is important for me. I can see the difference.

Using the light bar to demonstrate the surface finish of the screens was a great idea. Keep it up

I have a 2019 16" MacBook Pro, and I use it with a pair of Dell 4K 32" monitors at default scaling, and so far I'm pretty satisfied. Things may be a bit fuzzier, but I really have to stop and look for it. I haven't seen a performance hit, and my fans kick in less than when I was using a 1440p and two 1080p monitors.

More great and beautiful content from the Mac address team!

So everything was rendered in 5k, then downscaled to 4k? I wonder if the downscaling is where the lack of clarity comes from, not the slightly lower resolution.

One thing to consider: on a deskatop if you have 4k screen that has low dpi because it is a big screen and you have the space, you can just position the screen father away from you and you will have the same effect as with a hight dpi screen. This is something you can't do on a laptop for obvious reasons.

Given the current Apple external display lineup, I would consider the Samsung display if it offered 120Hz refresh rate. Full array local dimming would be nice too, but I can overlook that. I just want my external display to match the display of my MacBook Pro... Is that really too much to ask?

Finally, someone that accurately explained macOS and it’s weird scaling. I hate that it is the way that it is, but it’s exactly why the Studio Display / Pro Display XDR are leaps and bounds better than other displays for me when using a Mac.

5:38 if you use betterdisplay app you will have more flexibility, even 1x1 resolution native

Are all these displays just 60hz?

I actually think that 27” 4k monitors look nice hooked up to my MacBook. I naturally like having my screen zoomed in so the 1080p sized interface looks great to me.

As another graphic designer, if you are using a 4K monitor on macOS you need to use the standard 2x scaling otherwise text and UI elements look poor, but it leaves you with a very large UI with not a lot of usable space. Alternatively, you need to use true 1:1 mode but then the UI elements may be too small. The LG 5K, Studio Display, and this new Samsung one are the best options for the best macOS experience on a 27" display.

10:51 what where the yellow lines for? I’m glad there now might be more competition closer to apple’s expensive displays. They’re incredible, but $$$

as someone who spends hours reading text at a time and scrolling quickly (code + documentation), i havent found anything that matches my lg 5k and ASD. being able to adjust brightness and night shift mode + universal control across intel/m1/ipad has been *chef kiss*

does anybody know the intro song for this?

My main machine is the 2018 intel Mac mini. You turn scaling on and its pretty laggy due to the spectacularly craptastic GPU. Otherwise the scaling doesn’t bother me much. Still excellent video, and right on the head. ppi matters for macOS.

I feel like mentioning the (lqck of) speakers of the pro display xdr kind of ignores it's point. If you actually need a pro display xdr, you also either don't need audio or need an audio setup that can't be realistically provided by a monitor

SUCH a good intro!!!

Can they make a 5k 120 Hz monitor

@macaddress need to take one for the team and review the Kuycon 5k 27" monitor 🙏

Studio display has one major flaw. It has uneven colors. To see how much it is a problem make na image with ~12 grey stripes on white background and view it full screen. Becouse of that reason I've changed 3 times screen in my imac 5K 2017 and I didn't bought studio display for my macbook. Besides that studio displays are great. Color range, calibration, contrast, brightness everything is great.

Just noticed that the animations to point out apple charges more for the etched display glass was delay and apear a few seconds afterwards haha... almos unnoticeable, I want to get me one of those Dell Monitors

I wonder how it will compare to an average user with their previous M8 monitor (diff specs but look pretty similar)

I was quite excited about the Dell 6K monitor but not with the horrendous top bezel that totally mess-ups with the aesthetics. The webcam is a nice bonus but I don't care enough about it TBH. Also at that price the Dell UP3218K (an older model) seems quite competitive, it has IMHO better design and it is an 8K monitor, so even more pixels. This was not an option before but now that the M2 chips do support 8K resolutions via HDMI it may be (still) a very good option.

For sure the best LMG Channel. Quality, Quality, Quality.
