How in the world did I get three down rates for something I said I was born to own.
Just another day in macrumors forums... I guess.
LOL!
To be honest though. Depending on the features. I may pick up 2 7Ks. should be better for my mac workflows.
I can.
Big difference to me.
also, more screen real estate.
Maybe you are just not the target market for this? Others are.
The M1 Pro and M1 Max should be able to handle it via DSC (Display Stream Compression).
USB4 does support DisplayPort Alt Mode 2 which binds both channels into a single-output channel to allow 8K HDR or 16K @ 60Hz. I do not know if the M1 Pro and/or M1 Max support this or if it is something Apple would implement in future M-Series SoCs to coincide with the 7K display.
Two 6ks or one 5k + one 7k..
What will be better way to get your 12 K's?
I'm still just using about 2.5k (QHD)
I can only imagine how much more productive I'll be if I add a few more K's

we won't know the final math until release I guess. price per screen and all.
one thing to factor in might be, what in the world is that A13 going to do in a screen?
Hopefully we find out next week.
It might be to handle the load of powering all the pixels and thus makes the monitor suitable to connect with a huge variety of devices, with little need to worry about the GPU capabilities of the devices themselves as much.
(essentially an Apple device specific/custom eGPU solution built into the monitor)

EIZO doesn’t currently make an 8K display, and it certainly won’t be cheaper than Apple’s. It will also be another year at least before EIZO releases one.
8K is completely irrelevant for acquisition outside of the movie industry where 5.7K/6K is still plenty for reframing a shot a là The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. At this point 4K HDR workflows are plenty for the foreseeable future and up-ressing 4K content to 8K is way more practical than creating pure 8K workflows. How many theatre DLP projectors out there are still 2K? Plenty…and I don’t see them updating until asses are in seats on a more reliable basis. 7K is plenty for proven 4K/5.7K/6K workflows for a long time coming.
It's not so much the logo, but more that the design language doesn't match the Apple machines. All we want is something like the screen from M1 iMac, packaged in a matching body, so that it can be paired with either an M1 iMac as a second screen, or a Mac Mini, or MBP/MBA. Considering the base 24" iMac is $1300, including the computer, then surely we can have just the screen for somewhat cheaper than that, and especially cheeper than the $5k Pro Display XDR. How hard is it, ffs. Or more to the point, how obvious is it, and why haven't they done it already?
If I were Apple, I'd even put it out in two versions. One with the chin and white bezels for iMac users to match as a second screen. And one without the chin and black bezels for all those with the Mini or MBP/A. Considering the design is already basically done with the iMac, it would be trivial to create this.
That's a lot of K's.
Odd size.
I think Apple is the only company manufacturing 5 and 6K at scale. 7 would probably be the same, right?

It's different.
I've owned Cinema Displays, TB displays, 4 and 5 K UltraFine's and an XDR.
I've also owned some lower cost Samsung 4K displays.
The Apple displays are markedly better--markedly.
From the UltraFine's to 6K's, they are all Apple defined "Retina" displays.
They're amazing. I wish they went above 500 nits standard, but they're all super impressive (also pre-calibrated perfectly).
So yeah--people want Apple monitors because they are the best monitors you can by for a Mac.
Agree 100%
I recently sold my imac 27" 5K.
Bought an LG 5K 27" for my new macbook.
THE GHOSTING ON THE LG.
I mean I still love the thing, but I can "see" many issues that I did not see on my imac 5K. which was about four years older to boot.
I used to believe apple just "bought the LG panels" and put them in the imac.
Nope. I agree. Apple, improves on the panels from the OEM version. no doubt.
How about an "affordable" display Apple? Something that doesn't require selling a kidney preferably?
Yes, you are right but they do make best monitor in the world (made in Japan). I’m currently using 2k monitor ?
Yeah I say $999 to be optimistic but realistically in 2022 dollars, $1500 range is probably closer to what I’m expecting. As others have said, I just want a Mac-less iMac: a good display that works well with both my work MBP and personal MBA and looks nice on my desk.I think there is no way that there’ll be a 27-30“ for less than $1499 and even that is my optimistic view. I would love to see a $999 Thunderbolt Display successor but modern Apple will never do that. Maybe there’s a 24“ display for $999-$1199, but I’m already accepting the fact that I’ll have to pay at least $1499 for a 27-30“. But I fear that it will be more likely $1799-$2499… I mean there is no competition for Apple in that space. They just have to take a 5K panel, sprinkle some MiniLED and HDR on it and they will have by far the best display for semi professionals on the market. They know that and they’ll charge for that accordingly
I'd happily pay $1500-2000 for a high quality Apple display. Its the $6000+ that's a problem. Apple need a Thunderbolt Display v2.
All. (for screen real estate)
All. for clarity of screen text, edges of lines etc.
a 4K is great. no doubt. but the 5K just takes it to a higher level IMO.
Also, I have a dozen-plus apps up all the time. Just being able to have so many windows so clean and crisp. makes things more pleasant for me.
Who’s Matt? Matt Lauer? He’s has his own monitor company? Oh, you meant Matte. My bad.
They did 5k because it allows you to have a full 4k video plus the timeline. 7k could show a 6k video and timeline. These are probably geared to real professional editors like macs we’re back in the day. I have a 6k Red Komodo and hope this isn’t - 7k $7000 monitor.
