I think we'll be waiting till Black Friday for that one. 😭

You mean the Viewfinity S9? It will be discounted in no time, I just know it, Samsung has a habit of sudden wild discounts even on popular devices.

Why would you not spend the extra $30 for 32"? Easiest upgrade decision ever.

You could, both are trash tho)))

What makes you say that?

I gave the 32" a shot when it first came out. It's absolute garbage, at least if you're used to  quality.

Ah ok. At least you have actual experience with it so it makes sense.

I've seen so many comments on many things and people saying they're garbage only to have never seen one in person haha

That's fair. I did, and I spent about a week hopelessly trying to calibrate it, but it's really not in the same class as Apple displays AT ALL. I'm sure it's a fine device for a college student, presuming they aren't studying anything design-related.

 

[joecomo]

this is becoming a running gag …

 

[izyreal]

How does this monitor compare to the LG Ultrafine series?

Are you familiar with the LG UltraFine IPS 4K 32" 32UL950-W monitor circa early 2020? I bought it for home right before COVID hit. I've been pretty happy with it, and it was about $1,000 when new...curious how this compares in quality.

 

[The_Martini_Cat]

The main thing I like about this monitor is it is a 32 inch monitor! Yeah!🍸😹 Plus way way WAY better than my 12-year-old 24 inch Dell panel. Which still runs great, I have to admit. Monitor quality has moved on, tho

 

[Darren.h]

wow. thats a deal. I would buy that over the smaller 27 inch over priced Apple monitor.

 

[GeoStructural]

I would not call it trash. I tried this one and the Studio Display and ended up keeping the Studio Display, but I only found it marginally better, it is not a crazy difference. The Studio Display has superb audio, and feels very solid, and the calibration is just right out of the box while the Samsung one I had to tweak a bit, but it was 3 times the price. Samsung's was a little bit wobbly depending on the height adjustment, but it had better port connectivity, more universal usages and the display quality was not bad AT ALL, it was a very capable 4K display.

You get what you pay for and a sale on trash is no sale at all… 🫶🏻

I'm sure there are plenty of decent monitors out there quality-wise, but I hate their aesthetics. I mean design is a huge part of using Apple products. That's why I tried the M8 — it looks like an iMac clone.

you can get a whopping 55 inch 4k monitor from Dell for just $799

Then I wonder why you ended up keeping a product that costs 3 times, but is only marginally better
It's super wobbly! The display can not be calibrated well, all the presets don't look anything like Apple. I'm sure it's great for watching Netflix, especially since you don't even need to connect it to anything! Like I said — great dorm room device, but since I'm a designer — it's useless, I expected it to be much better than it was. But then again — you get what you pay for. It actually made me consider spending the money that the XDR costs...

This is NOT a good sale on the M8. The 32 is routinely on sale for $299, and low price was $270.

 

[Mark.g4]

For less than 500 you can buy a LG32” 4k un880 with vesa stand arm.
This is a Best Buy yet.

Right ?

I run 32” 4k. It’s not perfect but I don’t think I could go back to 27”

Waiting for a reasonably priced 32” 5k with a decent panel to appear

Would be an instant buy for me
