I'd rather attach an external webcam when I need it... instead of looking at that large top bezel ALL THE TIME.

🤣
I totally agree but it looks like it's optional when I click the link.

I think it's great other companies are FINALLY starting to use these kind of resolutions. 6K is ideal for 32" and 5K for 27"

Would the slightly different resolution compared to the XDR be an issue for scaling in macOS?
It has slightly higher PPI than the XDR
I would wager it will behave similarly to the XDR unless macOS doesn’t like the native resolution of this one, and renders some non-integer buffer resolution instead.

Hmmm... I'm not so sure.

I watched the demo video and it looks like the top bezel is built into the display. Look at the back of the monitor... it's all one piece:

I believe the image you shared is just a technology showcase. It doesn't appear to be this actual monitor.

But I dunno...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
The Apple Studio Display and Pro Display XDR have a killer feature I have never seen on any other non-Apple monitor... the ability to turn on 100% of the time and very quickly, too. With every other monitor I've ever owned, about 1/4 to 1/3 of the time, the picture just won't show and I have to reboot either the computer or the monitor to get it to come on.

I'd like to see a review of these two monitors (Dell and Samsung) to see if they have that ability. I doubt it. If they do, then they will be competitive as long as their pricing is good.

This is wrong. You probably have a faulty hdmi or thunberbolt cable.

On every computer and monitor I've ever owned? Sorry, this is going back three decades. I saw a review of the Studio Display on AppleInsider. They made the exact same comment that only Apple displays seem to always turn on 100% of the time. In my experience, they are absolutely correct.

Maybe it's because Apple monitors never actually turn off.

It's some kind of sleep mode and they wake up instantly.

Apple monitors are full-blown iOS computers now. It's like they shoved the guts of an iPad into a monitor.

And you know how fast iPads wake up. Instantly!

But you're right... there is some special sauce between the monitor and the Mac since they can talk to each other. It is very cool.

:p

I own a Studio Display and while it turns on extremely fast ans overall connects pretty well it's not 100% perfect either. For instance I had to reboot it the other day because it wouldn't play sound.
 
I don't mind the cyclops design. At least it doesn't bother while working. Obviously an integrated camera without notch would be perfect, but tech is not there yet. The defining factor is going to be the price. Apple's monitors are ridiculously overpriced.
 
Included stand means I'm paying for it even when I'm using a VESA mount.
Would be nice to have it optional, for lower price. I have 2 Dell displays and the stands ended up in the trash.

What also bothers me is adding all kinds of stuff I don't need. I already have good speakers and a webcam. Don't feel like paying for built-in speakers and camera just for sh*ts and giggles.
 


Dell is looking to take head-on Apple's $4599 Pro Display XDR with a new 32-inch 6K UltraSharp display that has a built-in 4K webcam, a variety of ports, and an included stand that rotates, swivels, tilts, and more.

The new "game changer" display was announced this week as part of CES and is the world's first 6K display with IPS Black panel technology, according to Dell. With the new IPS panel, the 32-inch 6K UltraSharp delivers "high contrast and deeper blacks." In actual specs, the display is 6133 by 3456 pixels with 223 PPI (pixels-per-inch), slightly higher than Apple's Pro Display XDR. The Pro Display XDR is 6016 by 3384 pixels with 218 PPI (pixels-per-inch).

On the back of Dell's 32-inch 6K UltraSharp display, there are a variety of ports, including Thunderbolt 4 with up to 140W of power delivery, USB-A, ethernet, HDMI, and DP 2.1. On the front of the display, there is also access to two USB-C and one USB-A port through a pop-out compartment, providing quicker access to connect accessories and peripherals.

Unlike the Pro Display XDR which does not come with a stand, Dell's display has a built-in stand that can swivel, tilt, rotate, and move the display higher or lower depending on user preference. The display also has a built-in 4K webcam that uses AI to improve image quality and keep users in the frame during video calls.

Dell says the display will be available later this year and has not provided any pricing details for the display. Apple's Pro Display XDR costs $4999 for the standard texture version and $5999 for the nano-texture version. The Pro Display XDR does not come with a stand, as it must be bought separately for $999.

At CES this week, Samsung also revealed a 27-inch 5K display that will compete with Apple's Studio Display.

That’s ugly! I wonder who came up with the huge bezel with camera and thought it was a good idea.
 
It has slightly higher PPI than the XDR
I would wager it will behave similarly to the XDR unless macOS doesn’t like the native resolution of this one, and renders some non-integer buffer resolution instead.
That was my fear indeed. But from your reaction I understand we can only wait and see :)
 
But depending on how they price the product, I can see some consumer-side users not happy to see no HDR (even a lousy one).
There's just not much HDR content. There are a few games that support it, but this would be a poor choice for a gaming monitor for other reasons, such as its low refresh rate. Very few YouTube videos are HDR. The web doesn't support HDR images and graphics. If you want to watch HDR movies and TV shows, you'd be better off getting a TV.
You can view your iPhone videos and photos in HDR, I guess. Does Windows even have built in support for HDR photos?
 
If you are a professional, HDR in a monitor is only really useful for TV show and movie production. And if you do work in movie/TV production, you'd probably want something better that an mini-LED monitor that only has a few hundred dimming zones.
I'd rather see a cheaper device than a clone of Apple's XDR display.

If you wanna do that HDR monitoring, you ought to have a dedicated viewing monitor/display anyway. So this would be just for the UI.
 
It’s definitely ugly, however I’m glad it exists. Someone needed to put some pressure on Apple to either innovate to justify their premium prices, or find a better happy medium between cost and design. Again from a design point, this ain’t it, but I’m glad to see Samsung and Dell embracing higher that surpass 4K. Hopefully Apple comes out with top panels this year so I can upgrade my Studio Displays ☺️.
