APPLE, just make the Studio Display a smart monitor (Airplay to the display from devices wirelessly and/or build an Apple TV functionality into it). I mean it already has a processor built in!

Exactly what I'm doing))) I'm hoping Apple will come out with one, I really would prefer not to have to buy the XDR)))
Ive always found it difficult to find a great all-round monitor, that also helps saves on desktop clutter. Good speakers, smart TV function, good display, multiple connectivity… in a compact package thats perfect for a small room or bedroom.
The samsung range this monitor belongs to comes very close to ticking so many of those boxes…

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.
I bought it last week. In general, I wouldn't say garbage, but the display quality is subpar to many less expensive displays. Not in sharpness, but it looks very washed out. Almost as if having a white film over it.
I'm keeping it for now. What won me over other monitors is that the design is nice, and in that price range, most monitors are ugly.
I think I'll save for an Apple Display, but for now, it works for my needs.
Yes, that was one of the problems — how washed out the picture was.
Speakers are not a strong monitor for this monitor. But then again, you can use Bluetooth speakers no problem.
I read it has to do with the type of display, that it is not IPS, but VA.
Not sure what that means.
For sure… it’s always a pity when they include speakers but fail to make a good go of it. Most monitors speakers are so bad that you wonder why they bothered…
I'm honestly hoping for not apple so that isn't overpriced with a bunch of features I don't need
I have no need in a monitor for cameras, speakers, usb ports, audio outputs, airplay support or any "smart" features
just a nice 32" 5k ips panel without too wide of bezels, one DisplayPort input and one hdmi input
I don't even care about the stand since it will just go on the mount that's already on my desk
Yes, that also, honestly — I don't think it was intended to be a high quality display. At least I hope not))
You really need to point out that these are not 5k or equivalent monitors.
They are literally 2012 technology.
