How can there be a cheap version of what is essentially an ultra high-end 6K display that’s squarely catering to video professionals who need to edit in 4K?
The “cheap” versions are the iMac 5K and the iMac Pro.
Can’t wait to place my pre order.
Does anyone know if apple released a date?
I have a feeling they will release a new line of premium displays aimed at the consumer market.

I'd wait for some review before sinking significant cash into an order.
Have you seen how much work apple put in to the stand alone?
Can’t wait for preorders.
I doubt that magnetic mount is going to work with other displays:That stand is gorgeous.
Won’t be surprised if some customers purchase it to use with other displays.
If you mean the Mac Pro then no, because no one was allowed to touch it or see it working.
Apple recently released a 23.7” 4K monitor. How bad is that for editing video?
If you can’t afford it, you’re not the target market. Those who use them as tools to make money—the target market—will be satisfied.
Oh, were you talking about just the stand? Like I said, it’s quite expensive.
Amazing display but Apple is really out of their minds pricewise.
I am still using my 30" ACD. I bought two for $3k back when they launched. Now I would have to spend $10k. What a joke and a shame. They won't sell many. Pro's are not that stupid.
Apple made this monitor because there is nothing on the market that meets their needs or that can capitalize on the power of the new Mac Pro. I too am disappointed they no longer sell an equivalent to the 27" Thunderbolt monitor, but I understand why...plenty of available monitors including the hideous LG monitors. I don't see why LG does not attempt or at least partner with Apple to create a monitor that looks similar to the Thunderbolt Display.I have no problem with 5000UD 6K Ultra Pro screen. Where I have a problem is lack of 2000 2500USD very good Apple sreen with thunderbolt support.
I still have 20 inch and 23 inch ACD. They are OK after all these years but I have issues with connecting them to USB C Macs...
LG, HP, Dell, etc. They all make "4k" displays <$800 such as LG 27UK850-W or HP Z27.
I suggest you go back and re-read what I wrote. I'm not griping about the price. I only stated that for what they're charging it should include the stand.
Not even in the same league. It's like recommending a VW Beetle to someone who wants to race in Formula 1. Assuming the Apple displays performs according to specs, except for resolution, it's nowhere near the new XDR. It's not even close. That doesn't mean the Dell isn't a good monitor for hobbyists, youtubers, etc. The XDR is aimed at reference professionals, those that currently pay over $30k for a monitor with worse specs than the XDR (again, if it delivers). People have to understand, if you're not a mastering facility, broadcast studio, etc. working on multi million dollar productions year after year, the XDR is not aimed at you. You're better off with some LG, Dell, etc. because you don't need the level of performance (accuracy).I can recommend the Dell UltraSharp UP3218K as an alternative.
Aren't there other monitors out there that will suit your needs? Even if Apple made one for THE REST OF US, it would probably come with an Apple tax. I don't mind paying it for a machine that will run the OS, but if I could get a decent monitor (when an external monitor is required) for less from somewhere else) I certainly would.
- Are you planing to get the new Mac Pro and just need an affordable monitor to use with it?
- Does it have to come from Apple, Inc.?
I fear no one will buy it because it is so far beyond the spec needs of mere mortals plus Apple has abused the trust of Pros for so long. And will Tim Cook commit to it or will he use low sales in the short term as justification to cancel it. If Apple were wise, they’d publicly commit to at least 10 years on this model plus offer a roadmap of part upgrades.Well, I’m a pro and the price is absurd.
