Apple Now Selling Refurbished Studio Display Models

It is simple facts. Only OLED and mini-LED have got great contrast and can do blacks properly.

Basically the displays in the MacBook Pro’s are better even (which also can do 120hz).

Be helpful if you'd answer the question vs evading -- in what particular circumstances doing photo editing on your ASD have you found this blacks to be problematic?

Sample photos would be helpful in showing how this is a real problem for photographers rather than just something on a spec sheet that isn't meaningful in real world photo editing.

As for Macbook Pros, please point out the model with the 27" display. Not finding it on Apple.com

Got it. You don't own or have ever used an ASD. Nor an experienced photographer who is able to expertly assess display image quality.

Just a bunch of evasion with no relevant hands-on experience.

It is an IPS display. Your ASD is not miniLED or OLED. It's a technological limitation.

Have you personally used an ASD for photo editing?

Yes or no.

Your assessment based upon zero experience using it, and zero background in any relevant creative activity.

No limitation at all for me as someone who uses it in a creative field that matters, going back 20 years of post processing my photographs in both Photoshop and Lightroom making prints/publications for myself and others.

Keep drinking the koolaid that IPS displays have the same contrast and can do blacks as good as OLED and miniLED displays. Measurements done by reviewers of the ASD shows that the contrast ratio is only 1000:1 which is quite bad in comparison to OLED and miniLED displays.

Only on Macrumors have IPS displays blacks and contrasts as good as OLED and miniLED displays.

You seem to misunderstand. You keep focusing on technical specifications that nobody's really disputing on a technical basis.

If you wish to gain any traction you might instead discuss - with examples from your personal experience - how those specifications make a real world different to photographers editing their photographs.

Can confirm concerning digital design (apps, websites etc). I don’t want to say that that it makes no difference, but I’m sure most of my colleagues use abysmal and possibly even uncalibrated secondary displays. And we work for very large brands.

The main selling point for me is the retina resolution, because creating and assessing retina assets with non-retina displays isn’t a good experience.

Do people ever scale down their 5K Studio Displays, so that their second monitor has a matching resolution? Moving between two different resolutions is my worry. Can someone advise me on the best setup?

I want to get a Studio Display for my primary and my other monitor as a heavily used secondary. My other monitor is a 32" 4K monitor that I have scaled to 3008x1692. I have no problem with the lower pixel density and I do understand there is some increased CPU taxing with scaling. Since I seem fine working with a scaled resolution, here's the question..

What might be the best resolution if I had a 27" 5K Studio Display and 32" 4K monitor? I just don't want to move things between the monitors and have things scaling up and down. I find that harder on the eyes, than working with scaled UI overall.
