    Apple XDR Display (P3-1600 nits) vs HDR Video (P3-ST 2084), which is more accurate for watching HDR content?

    When I play a HDR movie on Movist Pro and take a screenshot of a still on both picture presets, ST 2084 preset shows more contrast, beyond what may be fully accurate. Is there an explanation for this? Apple XDR Display (P3-1600 nits)HDR Video (P3-ST 2084)Apple XDR Display (P3-1600 nits)HDR...

    Pro Display XDR USB ports

    Hey everyone, I have upgraded my display to a Pro Display XDR, which I'm using with my 2020 13 Inch M1 MBP in clamshell mode. With this upgrade, I was hoping that I would be able to plug only the cable coming from the XDR to my MBP and plug in my Logi Brio webcam and my UAD Apollo Solo audio...

    Will the new MacBook Pro's 1000 nits be usable?

    I ordered the 16" in the hopes that I could use it outdoors, but I'm reading it won't be possible? I can't be the only one maxxing out the display brightness (even indoors). The iPad Pro limits HDR to to certain kinds of content. I'm not sure if anyone has experimented with Apple's XDR...

    Pro Display XDR - Should I Wait for the Next Generation?

    Hi guys! I'm currently thinking of buying the Pro Display XDR but I can't tell if Apple is going to be updating it any time soon. Given how expensive it is, it'd kill me to buy the monitor just to have them release a new version 3 months down the line. My thinking is: 1. If they were to update...

    iPad Pro M1 12.9” - do you max out the brightness when watching DV/HDR10 movies?

    On my OLED TV, the OLED Light (equivalent to iPad’s brightness, despite its name) is set to maximum, because that is what is recommended. HDR10 and Dolby Vision content is tone mapped from darkest to brightest areas and the maximum brightness ensures highlights get bright while darks stay dark...

    iPad Pro Exchanged 12.9” for 11”

    "What we know about the 11-inch user is that they just love bringing a super powerful iPad with them in a portable one-pound design. They just love the form factor of that. Whereas the user who is embracing the 12.9-inch display, they were looking for the largest canvas to do their most creative...

    iPad Pro Canceled 12.9" Pre-Order…

    Originally I had decided on the 12.9" iPad Pro 256GB w/ Cellular (in Silver, with coordinating White Magic Keyboard) for just slightly north of my $2,000 budget upon adding AppleCare and applying account credit. After further careful consideration (I'm the weirdo who doesn't "consume" much...

    iPad Pro Is Mini LED better for non-video content?

    I still find myself torn between the 11" and 12.9" iPad Pro. My intended use case does not include much in the way of video consumption, so I'm wondering what (if any) benefit the Mini LED / XDR display will bring to my workflow. Many comments I read on this forum seem pretty convinced that the...

    XDR Display Changing to Scaled Resolutions

    Since 10.15.5 and with the latest XDR firmware 3.3.23, I notice sometimes my display resolution looks muddy/not crisp. Going into the Display Settings, I see it has changed from "Default to Display" to Scaled - trying to set it to "Default to Display" won't work and just keeps falling back to...

    Mac Pro reporting XDR as 8K display?

    I *know* that the Apple Pro Display XDR is a 6K display. It says so everywhere. Yet, macOS Catalina (10.15.5) is reporting my XDR display as an 8K display: Clearly, something is not right. That said, using Parallels Toolbox resolution switcher I can set resolutions of 3840x2160 (retina) as...

    Why does Apple still insist on 60 hz in Pro Display XDR, iMacs and MBPs?

    60 hz refresh rate is very very old standard and most of the brands in market prefers 75 120 or 144hz values in their display products. There are lots of laptops with 75hz or above. But Apple still uses 60 hz on their products. The pro display xdr is the most advanced product of Apple but it has...

    MP 7,1 HDR with capture card and Pro Display XDR

    I’m looking for the solution that would let me connect PS4/Xbox to Pro Display XDR via HDMI. I think the best way to do that is to buy PCIe capture card for Mac Pro and connect it that way. I was thinking of using either AJA KONA or Blackmagic DeckLink but I can’t find any info if I can preview...

    I ordered my Pro Stand on 12/23. Originally it was set to arrive Feb 5-12 and the XDR Nano Display to arrive Feb 12-19. I got 3 calls yesterday from apple confirming my order for the Pro Stand it seemed fishy but I called apple myself to verify. They were verifying I ordered it because “It is an...
