Ahh, you're a "your opinion is different from mine, therefore it's wrong, and I won't listen to any other opinion." type.It really, really is not. I'm not having this conversation.
Starting at $1000 more. And if you want a tilt stand it will cost you. And if you want both a height and tilt adjust stand then it will cost you even more. And you can’t change the stands yourself, you need to take it to an Apple store if you decide that you need one of the other stands.apple already has it...Studio Display
Yes. Still looking for a good quality 4K monitor without any “smart“ rubbish inside for our AppleTV 4K. Really nothing so that it turns on quick, has no OS startup delay, no background energy consumption or slow badly designed menus.Looks good (as an obvious copy of Apple design) but a 4k display with Samsung's "smart" features is not a draw, unless there is no advertising in the operating system. Given how their TVs are, it's likely it will be full of ads and tracking. I keep my Samsung TV disconnected from any network because of the ads and tracking. Normally I don't care that much about "privacy" but Samsung smart TVs have so many ads that they are distracting. I guess I could block them with my PiHole but it's easier to keep the TV dumb and use an Apple TV instead.
I don't hold a 32" display the same distance as I'd hold my old iPhone 3G... so yes?so the display on an iPhone 3G is perfectly fine compared to an iPhone 4?
Or Apple simply didn't produce them in large quantities... give the illusion of demand via limited supplies.One would think, it even at $400 there is a nearly 3 month backorder. People will pay.
Maybe I'm missing something but having your everyday computer run at "5K" resolution is insanely tiny unless you have the screen right in front of your face. Sure you get more room but are people just magnifying everything else such as their text, menu, fonts, etc? Running a 5K setup with Safari set to 200% magnification just to read seems odd.Another 4K display. No one but Apple and a few others ever thought to make a 5k and higher display huh
People need to learn that unless the display has dimming zones (miniLED, OLED) then there's no HDR. It might support it, but you won't be viewing real HDR on the display, its contrast and brightness are simply much lower than what's needed.
Get an iMac as a consumer.This is what a CONSUMER monitor from Apple should have been. The average user doesn't need the fancy features a designer or developer does. At $700 I think they will still make a nice profit.
No, the complaining is what I actually enjoy doing. If Apple put out a 5k monitor for $500 with every bell and whistle I’d complain about that.So now everyone who was unsatisfied with the Studio Display can just get this and be satisfied and stop complaining?

I don't indulge people who are objectively wrong and want their uninformed opinion treated as valid.Ahh, you're a "your opinion is different from mine, therefore it's wrong, and I won't listen to any other opinion." type.
Newsflash: it's okay for people to have different opinions, viewpoints, requirements and experiences. Diversification is what keeps the world interesting.
This is so absolutely true and I am shocked at how people don't get this. 4K is sufficient up to 24". Any screen size larger and the UI get's absurdly big at native resolution, or too pixelated at scaled resolutions because the ppl is just too low.It really, really is not. I'm not having this conversation.
No, no. Everybody who complained about Studio Display, can now be unsatisfied with this and happily continue complaining. Until we get a Studio Display at a Samsung price, then it's all complaints.So now everyone who was unsatisfied with the Studio Display can just get this and be satisfied and stop complaining?
Apple’s Studio Display Gen 2 announcement: “We believe that users have the right to decide the altitude of their monitors. So Apple has re-imagined height adjustment for their monitors. Introducing Apple Height!”
Someone at Apple was definitely high when they decided to upsell height adjustment as a $400 optional extra on a $1600 monitor.
No, it isn't fine, and stop telling people that. It is objectively and factually below the threshold of acceptable for a Mac display, which is why no Apple display ships with such a low pixel density. Facts. Not opinions.I don't hold a 32" display the same distance as I'd hold my old iPhone 3G... so yes?
138PPI is fine if you're a normal viewing distance away.
a viewing distance of 10” from a 3.5” phone is MASSIVELY different to a 20” viewing distance from a 32” screen.I don't hold a 32" display the same distance as I'd hold my old iPhone 3G... so yes?
138PPI is fine if you're a normal viewing distance away.
That's a topic for another conversation. In some cases that help as a step down from 2x scaling, but only when the native resolution is already high enough for the physical size. It isn't a solution for a display like this.If you hold down the "option" button, you can select other display settings when clicking "Scaled" in "Display Settings"
It was all going so well, and then they said 60 hz.
Samsung today announced it has opened pre-orders for its new Smart Monitor M8, a 32-inch display that offers USB-C charging connectivity, AirPlay support, and several smart TV features built into its distinctively iMac-like design.

The M8 houses a 4K UHD flat LCD panel providing 400 nits of brightness, a 60Hz refresh rate, 99% sRGB, HDR support, and adaptive picture technology that automatically adjust display brightness and color temperature for viewing comfort.
The M8 chassis is 11.4mm thin, which is 0.1mm thinner than Apple's iMac, and it includes a flat back, thin bezels, and a height adjustable stand with tilt functionality. Integrated into the display is Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 wireless connectivity, one micro HDMI port, and two USB-C ports one of which offers 65W of charging output for a phone and notebook.

Unlike a traditional monitor, the M8 includes a remote control and a built-in SmartThings Hub running Tizen OS that allows it to connect to IoT devices wirelessly. The display also has support for streaming entertainment services including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and Apple TV, without having to connect to a PC or TV.
The display comes with a high-sensitivity Far Field Voice microphone and two 5W speakers built in, along with a removable magnetic 1080p SlimFit webcam featuring Face Tracking and Auto Zoom functions that sound similar to Apple's Center Stage feature.

Priced from $700 depending on the color, the Smart Monitor M8 is available in four "Shades of Nature," including Sunset Pink, Spring Green, Daylight Blue, and Warm White. While Samsung has announced it is taking pre-orders globally, the company has yet to provide shipping dates.
