New Mac Studio and Mac Pro Support Up to Eight 4K Displays, Mac Pro Works With These PCI Cards

[MRrainer]

Apple would prefer if you were running a wall of Pro Display XDRs.

Shareholders would not object either.

 

[phrehdd]

It's simple, if you want to be assured to have full support , plug and play , tone mapping when in desktop , and integer scaling ....


Get an apple display . Any should do . Everything works perfectly when you buy everything apple

Heh, my wallet isn't that full.

 

[ThailandToo]

Would love to hear stories and photos of people using 8 x 4k monitors in their setup. Like one photo.. from anyone, at all

At my office, I have six displays running at a time for investment analysis. Use two computers for it. Wouldn’t need to anymore.

Funny thing is, they not only dropped the name, but also put the LED on the other side.

Yeah, product advertisement images are always retouched, and the ways of retouchers and art directors are mysterious. I didn't notice and I own those speakers.

I find it interesting how they chose to convey a left-handed user's setup - with mouse and styli on the left.
They say left-handed people tend to make for better artists (it's a right hemisphere thing). I have to think that was intentional, in such a carefully curated shot.

Left or right the shot is totally bogus, any Wacom (clearly in shot) user would have their tablet front and centre and their keyboard off to one side, I edit in Premier, and every thing else like that as a matter of fact by default

I can imagine, what I'm saying is , you asked for apple to publish a compatibility list, they won't , since they sell displays they'll want you to get theirs

It's an ad, not a documentary.

I like how they threw in those 1990's speakers to balance out the look

Genlec Speakers are pretty much an industry standard speaker, used all over the world…

Can you imagine how long it takes for the OS to wake 8 screens from sleep, and then how long it will take you to re-arrange your windows on 8 screens after the OS shrinks all your open windows to the lower left third of each screen?!!! Magic!

Based on the screenshot you posted, I can see you haven't toggle the "show all resolutions" button. Try that and see if there is the resolution you were looking for.

Unfortunately, all that does is show the useless low res options. This is on my 2017 27" iMac running Ventura.

Show all resolutions off:

Show all resolutions on:

As you can see, 2304x1296 is still conspicuously absent. IMO, the jump from 2560x1440 to 2048x1152 is too big, both in terms of increased text size and in terms of loss of screen real estate on a 27" 16:9 screen. It's a weird choice on Apple's part, from a usability standpoint.

2048 --> 2304 = Increase of 12.5% over 2048 - Not natively allowed on Apple's 27" screens
2048 --> 2560 = Increase of 25% over 2048
2560 --> 2880 = Increase of 12.5% over 2560

But as mentioned, with my 28.2" Huawei MateView, macOS offers the analogous 2304x1536 resolution, which is in the Goldilocks zone for me for this screen width. This Huawei screen is same width as a 27" Apple Studio Display or 27" iMac, but has more vertical height as it's a 3:2 screen instead of 16:9.

You can run custom resolutions in macOS using third party software, but those apps sometimes can cause other problems.

This is awesome if you're running a wall of TVs.

Certain governments are already placing bulk orders for the skyeye systems.

I like these speakers, they have that brutal and serious look

 

[JuanitoIvanisios]

Can you even run macOS at 240Hz? Is that over USB-C Thunderbolt or HDMI 2.1?

I am running my MacBook Pro 14 M1 Max with a Corsair Xeneon Flex 45in OLED screen (3440 x 1440) @ 240Hz via a Corsair Thunderbolt 4 Dock. The monitor is connected via USB-C DP-ALT to the Dock. HDR does not work at 240Hz though. I have to dial down to 100Hz to make HDR work. Wondering as well, if this would work on M2 Pro/Max via the HDMI output as my monitor also has two HDMI 2.1 connectors on it as well.

Those "1990 speakers" are actually Genelec studio monitors. They are not only current but top notch and expensive.

 

[Born Again]

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how this is all being generated from a single chip, with integrated graphics and memory?

🤯

I get that people aren't happy with the Mac Pro's inability to add memory or external graphics but holy 💩 this is crazy.

Who is running so many screens?!

Lol

...and not a single cable/cord/wire in view. My desk is a spider-web of cables, and cluttered with paper notes, candy wrappers, pencils, and an empty bottle of wine.

I looked up the specs of these vaunted speakers.. they still use RCA inputs.. really? 🙄

 

[everlast3434]

Good news for those running 5 studio displays that need more screen space.

 

[BornAgainMac]

That would cost $32,000. 8 displays costing 4K each.

 

[TallManNY]

I hope that was sarcasm. I'm going to guess that there isn't a single person in the world running five studio displays.

But I did enjoy the trader popping in and saying they run six displays. Almost certainly not studio displays since they would just be looking at some graphs on them for trading and not need studio display quality. Not to mention they would want to mount lighter displays in some sort of 3 x 2 configuration of stacked displays.

Me.

interesting article re: your comment: https://www.bangor.ac.uk/news/archi...-are-right-brained-so-what-does-it-mean-41292

Ooh, great find. Thanks!

Yes. It's sarcasm.

Yeah! RCA inputs work great; why change something that isn’t broken?
