Was considering Apple Studio Display but for that price you can't even rotate it vertically for coding. Any suggestion from other brands?
Thanks

My opinion is that the ASD is just an LG 5k monitor with an Apple logo slapped on it and they threw in an ARM cpu for giggles. You can get a better, more feature rich monitor elsewhere.Apple Studio Display but for that price you can't even rotate
Any of them are good or do you suggest specific versions?Dell ultra sharp ultrawide
What are some examples of displays you like?My opinion is that the ASD is just an LG 5k monitor with an Apple logo slapped on it and they threw in an ARM cpu for giggles. You can get a better, more feature rich monitor elsewhere.
If you want a complete apple setup, then its not a bad monitor, and I don't knock sticking with Apple, but I do think you can get more bang for your buck elsewhere.
LG, they make the panels for many other companies, so I thought why not just go with them. Also Dell makes good displays.What are some examples of displays you like?
Me? From what I can see in the specs, the main difference between LG I listed and the XDR is 600 to 1600 nits.and you don't want to treat yourself to the XDR?
That's not very specific. Do you mean a common 34" 3440x1440, a 38" 3840x1600, the crazy wide 49" 5120x1440, or something else?We use Dell ultra sharp ultrawide.
Or save a lot of money. You can get two decent 27" 2560x1440 IPS displays for under 500 USD/EUR. Things won't be retina-sharp at just 110ppi, but it is a pixel density that was normal a decade ago, is natively supported by macOS, and the price speaks for itself.My opinion is that the ASD is just an LG 5k monitor with an Apple logo slapped on it and they threw in an ARM cpu for giggles.

I opted for an ultrawide monitor instead of a two monitor setup. Just my preference but I found using 2 monitors to be a bit disruptive then one wide one - YMMVYou can get two decent 27" 2560x1440 IPS displays for under 500 USD/EU
Yep, the XDR is certainly a stretch but the 6K appeals to me over the 5K I have. Just more desktopMe? From what I can see in the specs, the main difference between LG I listed and the XDR is 600 to 1600 nits.
My work isn't video but I want to do some video and Photoshop editing for content creation.
I don't even think I'd appreciate the XDR in all its glory.
I'm a software dev and also do some UI/Graphic design.
If I can find a 4K, HDR 1000 with Thunderbolt that would be nice. But even then, we don't really need Thunderbolt right.
Btw, I don't like to read small fonts that usually come with high solution displays since my eyes are not what they used to be. But I still want to have four or so IDEs / text editors open side by side. Would a 32" display be wide enough?
I think they’re 38” but I’m not back in the office until New Year to check the exactly modeThat's not very specific. Do you mean a common 34" 3440x1440, a 38" 3840x1600, the crazy wide 49" 5120x1440, or something else?
Agreed. In my case I also need vertical for Jupyter notebooks. Vertical left monitor and wide right monitor.I would always go for an IPS screen, and one with USBC or Display Port connection. For an IDE having an ultra-wide is super useful. I'd go for one of the LG ultrawides.
