Once you get to larger monitors, the user expectation for it to last longer and operate independently from the computer, increases.
It’s also more sustainable. Throwing away a 32” monitor when the computer technically is working, or vice-versa, feels…perverse.
The only issue right now is the lack of an affordable Apple monitor, which means that users have to ditch the Apple aesthetics and features.
I would love to see a sub-$1000 monitor that is more in line with today’s competitor specs and radiates the Apple look and feel.
For their more expensive offering I would then demand - as a consumer - 120-144Hz refresh rate, excellent color reproduction and well backlit, and a Thunderbolt 4 dock integrated, plus a decent Web Cam.
That’s already here. Samsung answered the call. They made a 5K 27” inch monitor that looks exactly like the studio display called the Viewfinity S9. It goes on sale all the time for half price. I have both the monitors right now (S9 and studio display) and it’s visually hard to see a difference. There you go. Now will you accept this recommendation or will you find some flaw with it? Because you’re not going to get a better recommendation than that. You literally said you wish there was a cheaper alternative that looks like the Apple studio display. And it’s been here since August 2023. You’re welcome. Now dont complain or look for flaws. It’s literally a plastic studio display that goes on sale all the time. I just bought it for 50% its MSRP from Best Buy. Case closed.
