Hi — I work in the visual arts and I post a lot in the Apple Silicon Macs forum and on news stories about Mac hardware, TSMC, and Apple (and other) displays.
Despite all this activity, I only very recently discovered that discussion about Apple displays and other displays is located in the Mac Accessories forum. I think of “accessories” as docks, keyboards, mice, storage, drawing tablets, and the like.
Note that Apple itself is of two minds about this. In the online store, Displays have their own Mac product heading as well as being featured under the Accessories heading.
I think it’s okay to not have a dedicated Displays forum, I’m not questioning that decision. But I think the Accessories forum should be moved up so it is adjacent to (immediately beneath) the Desktops and Notebooks forums, and, most importantly, you should add two visible sub-forums for the Studio Display and the Pro Display XDR. They would fit in well with all the other product sub-forums in that area.
Finally, I would also love to see a sticky post about displays, maybe with some public discussion beforehand about what it should talk about…
I realize this is a lot of work for someone to move the appropriate threads into the new sub-forums, but I think in the end it would increase participation and understanding in a vibrant area of discussion that touches on three interlocking zones: entertainment, gaming, and visual arts.
