I would really love to get this monitor, because it ticks all the boxes. I own a lot of Apple things, but no PC...I just have Win11 PC. I know that the Displays do not work with it or at least that you can't access settings or firmware updates or anything. Is this still an issue in 2026 with the new XDR that came out...? :/ I do a lot of productivity and picture editing - but also like to play games from time to time. I know that there is LG and other brands coming out with the same panel, but the software behind it is (rumoured) to not be that great with the algorithm and other stuff. Is it even possible to get the full 5k 120hz with a Windows Pc? Because if not, its already pointless.

I was honestly already thinking about to buy a cheap Macbook / Mac Mini - or a used one somewhere (im from EU) to at least access settings and doing firmware Updates. Is this a dumb idea...?

Would be great if anyone can advice me and enlighten me on what to do or if I should forget about the Apple Display. 😅
 
I’m not being facetious, but have you tried researching this topic? There is a wealth of information already available online. What does Gemini say when you ask?
