I have so many questions why a monitor needs an A19 Pro. Local dimming zone speed in conjunction with a high refresh rate? There are a lot of 4k 240hz+ monitors and i will bet they don't have anywhere near the processing power of an A19 Pro.
Got a tip for us?

...does it track with any of that, though? How does additional processing power help make the screen brighter?
Certainly tracks with a higher price.

There is an iMac Neo trapped inside the Studio Display XDR and Tim Apple will never let it out.
I'm just laughing at the photos Apple is using on their website. I wanna know what company outside of Cupertino is spending thousands of dollars on 27" monitors to look over some generic office documents. I hope they opted for that nano option with those windows.

Did Apple write this article? It's basically the same as one posted on 9to5mac.com.
Apple could've released these as specialty purposed iMacs with the ability to work in Target Display Mode (remember that super useful iMac feature??).
Or, they could literally act as supplemental processing power for whatever computer you’ve plugged into it. I highly doubt that center stage, desk view, Siri, and the surround sound audio system is particularly taxing on the A19 and A19 Pro.

Monitors need beefier processors now and its much cheaper for Apple to just use an iphone chip then for them to custom fab a new one

How do you get burn-in on an LCD screen???
My concern with the Studio Display is whether it ends up with dust trails like my last 2 imacs did. Due to the internal heat and fans in the imac.
Has anyone found this problem in the Studio Displays??

If I remember correctly, the A13 in the Studio display was actually an iPhone board, complete with 64 GB storage. If these A19 chips do the same and come with 256 GB storage, why don't Apple sell these as standalone iMacs that can also have a Mac connected to it. Especially at the price of the XDR model!
That's what I'm guessing too. I want to say it's likely a great way to use up binned chips that aren't quite good enough to meet the standards for use in the iPhone. Maybe they can't clock as high, or more cores need to be disabled than make sense for the Phone, but it's completely fine for a display.

What would be more interesting, is that when connected, that monitor chip would assist parent/child (master/slave) to the Mac to assist with additional task.

I don’t even understand the concept of having the host device operating system have anything to do with it.
It’s totally nuts to add that kind of restriction to a display.

If it happens, don’t freak out, I’ve had it a couple years… it goes away if you hide dock and use light background for a while, google it, it isn’t permanent but is annoying…
A better question would be why would it be there in the first place, if it cannot be utilized properly?
I can pick up a 1080p LCD for 80 bucks nowadays. Why would I want one of there?
Memories of when a printer (the first LaserWriter) was IIRC more powerful than the Macs of the time.

I mean it's just $4000 in studio displays with the height adjustable stand. She's sitting in a $3000 herman miller eames soft pad chair.

It might actually be a $4000 variant lol.

In all honesty I think one reason Apple puts these chips in there is to ‘justify’ the prices, throw a 50$ chip in there and add 500$ to the price

The A13 in the original made the Studio Display behave like an iMac. It enabled always on siri, center stage camera, and spatial audio. It also instantly turns on if your using a magic keyboard with touch id.

Almost $2000 display with same screen from almost a decade ago? Where do I sign up?
