WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.160 I might not be a big fan of Apple, but 00:00:03.440 --> 00:00:11.000 I am a big fan of displays. So, of course, when they unveiled the new 00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:14.360 Studio Display, we had to get one. But, 00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.360 hold on, because 00:00:16.360 --> 00:00:24.440 we also had to get the new Studio Display XDR, which notably doesn't have 00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:28.800 Pro in the name anymore for some reason, but who cares because it's allegedly 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:33.080 very, very nice. And I want to see it for myself before I, you know, complain 00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:37.080 about how much it costs. So, let's unbox these guys. We'll start with the Studio 00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:42.280 Display. This one, to be perfectly frank, is actually really similar to the 00:00:40.040 --> 00:00:47.640 old one. It's 5K, 27 in, 00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:49.920 60 Hz, oh baby, and comes with the stand 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:53.720 attached. A nice little paper cover. I like how light it is. It's really easy 00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:58.080 to carry. Inside here, we've just got what looks 00:00:55.240 --> 00:01:04.160 to be a USB-C cable. This is a 1 m Thunderbolt 5 Pro cable. The Pro comes 00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:09.720 from the sleeving and whatnot. This is expensive. For the 1 m version, it is a 00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:11.280 very nice $69 US. Uh so, you're getting 00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:15.680 that in the box. Considering the monitor is expensive, good. We'll get to price 00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:20.360 later. Let's take a look at what else we've got cuz there's some kind of box 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:24.880 strapped to the back of this. This just holds the cable. 00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:29.760 You know, that's kind of fun. A little pointless and wasteful, uh but I 00:01:27.160 --> 00:01:33.680 actually really enjoyed just unraveling the cable out of the box as I pulled it 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:36.560 away. I don't know why, but I did. And then this just pulls out because it's, 00:01:35.080 --> 00:01:40.040 you know, it's got these indents here so you can actually put it back in nicely 00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:45.120 without ruining the packaging again. I love and hate this at the same time. 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:48.120 I'll take the fancy peel off with the 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:50.400 paper, and it just comes off so nicely 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:54.960 and you can actually keep this nice and pretty if you ever want to sell your 00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:59.400 display later or put it away nicely or something, you know. I'm just going to 00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.400 set this over here. Ooh. 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:08.840 Also stays in very nice shape and becomes very easy to reapply. This is 00:02:05.240 --> 00:02:11.160 something I would love TV and monitor 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:14.120 manufacturers to do because, you know, you already save Well, I don't know 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:17.280 about you guys, I tend to save my boxes in case I have to move. I hate that I 00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:21.000 can't reapply the peel. And the foam wrap that comes with a lot of displays, 00:02:18.920 --> 00:02:24.840 it's nice, but this makes me feel a bit more comfortable. All you get is tilt. 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:28.480 That's it. Anything else, you got to move the whole monitor around. You can 00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:31.640 get the upgraded stand, but it's going to cost you like $400. And if you do it 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:37.920 after the fact, I don't know how easy it is to see on camera, but this is like very integrated. I don't trust myself to 00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:42.160 take this apart and put the new one on here. So, you're going to have to send it to Apple. It's going to cost you more 00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:44.800 money. Make the decision before you order it from the store. I mean, the 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:49.400 reality is, you know, it's pretty light and it's easy to rotate around. So, like this isn't the end of the world. My main 00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:53.040 issue is height adjustment. There is zero height adjustment on this thing out 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:56.560 of the box, and like that's a big deal. Oh, you can't pivot 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:59.640 it either. But like, those things are nice to have, but if you don't have 00:02:58.040 --> 00:03:03.480 height adjustment, that's kind of make or break, at least in my opinion. She's 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:07.600 kind of thick, but you know, it's also not OLED, so this is actually pretty 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:11.240 reasonable. And this is the regular coating one. The XDR that we're going to 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:15.840 look at later, we did get the nano texture glass. So, we'll take a look at those side by side so you can decide for 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:20.160 yourself what coating you want. Let's take a look at everything else. The only 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:21.680 other major upgrade we've got is the uh 00:03:20.160 --> 00:03:26.000 new camera. It's still the same 12-megapixel Center Stage camera, but 00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:29.360 now we've got the desk view. How much you'll actually use the desk view, I 00:03:27.880 --> 00:03:33.720 don't really know. It seems more of something that they kind of just tacked on during production. We've got 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:37.480 ventilation at the top here. I don't know if these are speaker grills or not. 00:03:35.320 --> 00:03:42.480 There's no more cheese grater mesh at the back that a lot of people are, you 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:46.520 know, love or hate on. So, that's gone. Nice Apple logo on the back here. 00:03:44.920 --> 00:03:51.440 Everything's just clean. I'll give Apple that. Their design is very, very clean 00:03:48.600 --> 00:03:54.120 and like user neutral. I don't even want to say user friendly, at least in terms 00:03:52.880 --> 00:04:01.040 of just aesthetics. It's like user neutral. On the back, we've got not one, 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:02.880 not two, but four USB-C ports. These are 00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:05.440 both Thunderbolt 5. One's for your display in, and the other's meant for 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:09.760 daisy chaining if you want to hook up multiple monitors off of like one cable 00:04:08.440 --> 00:04:16.480 solution. You could also use it for a dock considering, you know, these don't have KVMs built in. Especially cuz 00:04:12.920 --> 00:04:18.000 there's no USB-A ports 00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:22.640 anywhere. Another main difference between the regular Studio Display and 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:27.200 the XDR is that the power delivery on this guy's only 96 W. So, while that is 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:29.720 going to charge most of your devices, you might struggle a bit if you're 00:04:28.280 --> 00:04:33.920 trying to both charge the battery at the same time as you're trying to do some 00:04:32.200 --> 00:04:37.960 kind of like really intense workload. You know, it'll work and it'll trickle charge, but 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:42.000 you're not going to get the full fat. But, enough about the less expensive, 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:46.920 but still expensive option. Let's take a look at the one we've all 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:50.800 been waiting for, the Studio Display XDR. 00:04:49.280 --> 00:04:56.120 Oh, wow. Okay, this is a way better experience if you follow the instructions. Okay, pull that back, 00:04:54.400 --> 00:04:58.840 and then push this forward with the arrows. 00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:05.880 Wow, and then this opens right up. Inside, we've got nice monitor. 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:13.200 Oh, baby. We've got the same 00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:16.360 Thunderbolt 5 Pro cable, and the same Oh, no, there's something 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:21.760 else here. You get the fancy Apple polishing cloth 00:05:19.080 --> 00:05:24.280 when you get the nano texture glass on a device. 00:05:22.760 --> 00:05:28.360 I think you should get it anyway. It costs $20, which is also kind of wild. 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:32.400 And they even have a compatibility list to show you just what it's compatible 00:05:30.520 --> 00:05:36.240 with. It's a microfiber cloth. It's compatible with everything. There's 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:39.800 nothing else in the box despite being, you know, there's multiple other boxes. 00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:43.240 Like there's nothing in here. On the one hand, yeah, sure. It feels very 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:47.160 protective, especially for a display that costs as much as this one does. But 00:05:45.200 --> 00:05:51.360 on the other hand, like really, you guys? Like this just seems 00:05:48.760 --> 00:05:54.720 kind of wasteful to me, and um I get that it's recyclable, which is which is 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:57.760 good. There's no foam in here, but it just still seems like a lot of waste. 00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:02.640 Oh, well. Let's look at the monitor. We've got more box around the back here, even more 00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:06.480 packaging. Unlike most of our other packaging, I mean, I guess that has a purpose, too. But this has a purpose, 00:06:05.400 --> 00:06:12.640 you know, it's to make sure that this doesn't just kind of 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:14.960 spring up on its own during shipment. 00:06:12.640 --> 00:06:17.360 This one also had a peel. You know, we had a few complications 00:06:16.200 --> 00:06:23.800 when we're taking it off, but that's okay. It will come protected when it shows up at your doorstep. Brad likes 00:06:21.760 --> 00:06:29.160 the matte coating. I don't. I'm a very much a glossy kind of boy, and um I 00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:33.400 instantly dislike this compared to the other one, at least with no content on. 00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:38.640 Content displaying, this is going to look way better. We're talking mini LED 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:44.600 with like over 2,000 local dimming zones. It hits like 2,000 nits peak, and 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:48.160 it can do about 1,000 nits sustained full screen. So, it costs a pretty 00:06:46.640 --> 00:06:52.120 penny, but I'm actually pretty excited for this. The stand is much better in 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:55.840 the sense that it has height adjustment, which is good. I'm kind of sad that 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:59.600 that's like a selling feature, but here we are. One of the main advantages 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:04.360 though of this stand is that it doesn't cost $1,000. So, this time, 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:07.880 if you're buying your Studio Display XDR, you don't have to just look at the 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:11.880 price and then do mental math of a thousand plus dollars if you want it to 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:15.360 come with the stand. So, thanks, Apple. That's cool. And then it's got that same 00:07:13.440 --> 00:07:19.480 cable box on the back that I enjoy unraveling. Wow, look at me go, papa. It 00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:22.680 looks basically identical to the other one. I mean, you can't You still can't 00:07:20.960 --> 00:07:26.320 rotate it. You still can't pivot, but at least we have height adjustment now. And 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:29.640 uh can we angle? We can still angle, so that's pretty cool. Still got the same 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:32.680 cable coming out the back that doesn't want to disconnect on its own. 00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:38.080 Otherwise, yeah, it's the same IO on the back here. Just four USB Type-C, but 00:07:35.760 --> 00:07:43.640 these two here are Thunderbolt 5 again. This time with the max rating of 140 W 00:07:41.840 --> 00:07:48.000 power delivery. And yeah, otherwise, it really is just almost the exact same. 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:52.960 Let me get this side by side cuz I want to look at the nano 00:07:49.760 --> 00:07:54.640 coating. The XDR is ever so slightly 00:07:52.960 --> 00:07:59.200 thicker. We are talking about like millimeters here, people. The only other 00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:02.640 major difference is the grills here. Like this has about twice the speaker 00:08:01.080 --> 00:08:06.040 grills as this one does, or cooling. Still not sure, but either way, oh, it 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:09.560 probably is cooling cuz this is going to go to like 2,000 nits versus this is 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:14.600 only doing about 600. But I still haven't seen the coating. 00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:18.600 Yeah, like I'm sure with content, it'll be a little different. The glossy still 00:08:16.840 --> 00:08:21.600 does have an anti-reflective coating on it. It's not doing a whole lot of 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:26.080 anti-reflecting, whereas the nano texture glass, I got to say, zero 00:08:24.200 --> 00:08:32.560 basically zero reflection here. You get the cloth, I guess, 00:08:28.400 --> 00:08:35.520 but it's an extra $300 for the nano 00:08:32.560 --> 00:08:38.880 texture and a $20 cloth. So, you make your own decision. I definitely 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:42.000 think that there is a use case for either. I'm not going to know which one 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:45.680 I like more though until I turn them on and actually watch content on each of 00:08:43.640 --> 00:08:50.000 them. And I can't do that until I tell you about our sponsor. A VPN can be used 00:08:48.160 --> 00:08:53.640 to mask your location online, allowing you to obfuscate your browsing data from 00:08:51.760 --> 00:08:58.600 third parties that might want to collect that info. Private Internet Access does 00:08:56.040 --> 00:09:01.480 exactly that. And in doing so, it even opens up a world of streaming and 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:07.000 entertainment that might not be available in your region. Its network spans over 91 countries, and you get 00:09:05.040 --> 00:09:11.000 unlimited connections with just a single subscription. So, go check it out at 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:14.560 piavpn.com/shortcircuit or by using our link in the description 00:09:12.680 --> 00:09:18.720 for a special exclusive deal with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:22.800 If you don't have any source material, they don't show anything except for this, which tells you, "Hey, plug 00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:28.480 something in." As someone who wants to troubleshoot things, I don't like that. 00:09:25.640 --> 00:09:32.200 There's also like zero uh navigation for an OSD or anything because it's all done 00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:35.680 through software. As a person who loves PCs and normal displays that have all 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:39.320 that stuff on board, um it's a little disappointing to see that. What happens 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:41.960 if both your devices break? You don't know for sure if it's the 00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:46.440 monitor or not. You want to just test one thing at a time. You can't do that. So, you got to take it to the Apple 00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:50.800 Store and spend more money. Alas. Let's uh daisy chain these bad boys so that we 00:09:48.520 --> 00:09:54.160 can look at the same content on both of them at the same time. We've got our 00:09:52.040 --> 00:09:57.520 MacBook plugged in. I will say, this is just the lock screen, you know, so we 00:09:55.520 --> 00:10:03.160 get some cool motion effects. But I do prefer the regular glossy display over 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:05.800 the nano texture glass. Uh you know, with both displays set to 00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:11.200 whatever brightness they're at and they're pretty matched up right now. Yeah, I kind of like the one on the left 00:10:08.560 --> 00:10:13.960 more. I I don't know. But let's put uh let's put some more content on them. 00:10:12.280 --> 00:10:18.040 Let's watch some HDR footage. These are both set to HDR and running HDR content, 00:10:16.280 --> 00:10:25.320 but there's a little bit of a problem here. The 00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:26.720 XDR is using Apple's 2026 CMF. 00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:32.520 So it's going to be running at a slightly different white point than the 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:35.480 1931 CIE that's going to be on this guy 00:10:32.520 --> 00:10:40.560 and frankly most displays. Aside from that, this one looks way better. I mean, 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:44.640 it should. It's a significantly more expensive display. But when you get 00:10:42.400 --> 00:10:48.320 dimming zones involved, um like this is HDR, but like it's really not cuz it's 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:54.160 just, you know, full screen brightness, whatever. Uh whereas this actually has 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:55.920 like highlights and dark zones and um IT 00:10:54.160 --> 00:11:00.760 JUST HOWEVER, ALL OF THE ACTUAL REFERENCE 00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:05.480 modes on the XDR are still using CIE 1931, which is the most common one that 00:11:03.520 --> 00:11:08.320 you're going to find on pretty much every other display except 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.160 for I think the Sony Bravia that we tested like a couple months back. 00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:15.880 They're trying to do their own thing, too. But I've really got to say that uh 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:19.440 it's kind of no contest, right? The XDR just looks so much better. I mean, the 00:11:17.880 --> 00:11:23.080 blues look more vibrant on this building. You get actual dimming zones. 00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:27.160 Oh, I want to see if I can spot them now in like content. No, it's a lot harder 00:11:25.520 --> 00:11:32.920 on an actual video. Like I mentioned before, these are both 5K displays. So 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:34.680 we're getting a solid 218 PPI, which is 00:11:32.920 --> 00:11:39.640 actually really good. They've also both got speakers, which is always a plus. 00:11:37.040 --> 00:11:44.800 And they're using the A19 chips with the A19 Pro going in the XDR just for the, 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:47.839 you know, some better image processing. The other major downside if you're 00:11:46.400 --> 00:11:51.040 trying to decide between these two displays and you think, well, you know, 00:11:49.640 --> 00:11:57.200 I could save a couple grand. Unfortunately, what you're also not getting when you 00:11:54.800 --> 00:12:01.680 save that money is higher refresh rate cuz this guy caps out at 60 hertz and it 00:11:59.680 --> 00:12:04.480 also caps out around 600 nits of brightness, which is a little 00:12:03.160 --> 00:12:09.120 disappointing. Whereas with the XDR, 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:12.880 you're getting 120 hertz and you're getting that sweet sweet 2000 nit peak 00:12:11.160 --> 00:12:16.440 brightness I mentioned earlier. And when you spend a bit extra on the X Well, 00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:21.040 when you spend a lot extra on the XDR, you're also getting Adobe RGB and DICOM 00:12:19.680 --> 00:12:24.839 for anyone who's, you know, in the medical field. It might not matter to 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:29.160 you, but for professionals buying these displays, that's probably going to be a 00:12:26.520 --> 00:12:35.440 big make or break part of the decision. Now, as for color accuracy, I'm happy to 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:40.360 say that they're both relatively color accurate. In internet and web sRGB 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:42.880 reference mode, our studio display 00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:48.400 regular measured a delta E average of under one, which is very impressive. And 00:12:45.760 --> 00:12:53.680 then the max was under two. It was like 1.81. And then as for the XDR, we got 00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:58.000 almost the same results. A little bit higher on the average, a little bit less 00:12:55.560 --> 00:13:03.880 on the max. Still well under the delta E 2000 of two that you want to get. As for 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:09.160 HDR, the studio display it supports HDR, but it doesn't really 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:11.000 do it. Um you don't have dimming zones. 00:13:09.160 --> 00:13:16.520 It's going to be a bad experience. We did not measure it. But the XDR display, 00:13:13.800 --> 00:13:24.480 we measured HDR video reference mode and we got a delta E ITP measurement average 00:13:20.280 --> 00:13:26.760 of 2.35 with a max of under five. That's 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:30.760 impressive. The only thing that we've ever measured that's better than that is 00:13:28.880 --> 00:13:35.600 the iPad with the tandem OLED display. It's certainly not perfect, you know, 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:38.560 it's only going to do 2000 nits, which I mean, sure, that's still pretty good for 00:13:36.920 --> 00:13:41.760 a monitor these days. Uh but there are other displays coming 00:13:40.280 --> 00:13:45.400 out that are getting even brighter. It actually does have quite good contrast. 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:49.760 It's not an OLED killer, but you know, it's pretty solid. I would like more 00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:53.280 dimming zones. 2000 is still a lot for a display this size, but like 00:13:52.040 --> 00:14:01.080 it's just tough to beat OLED when they've got per pixel dimming. But I digress. What I really want to know is, 00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:03.720 can I game on the 120 hertz 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:08.240 Apple Studio Display XDR? Of course I can. Let's do it. One problem with using 00:14:05.800 --> 00:14:12.440 this with a Windows device instead of Apple is 00:14:10.280 --> 00:14:15.959 I can't really adjust anything anymore. So if you have a MacBook, you can plug 00:14:13.880 --> 00:14:19.920 that in, change things, and then hook it up to your computer and it will keep all 00:14:17.839 --> 00:14:23.280 of those settings, which is on one hand kind of cool. On the other hand, it's 00:14:21.920 --> 00:14:26.839 infuriating that there's not just physical buttons I can sit here and 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:30.880 fiddle with to fix whatever brightness settings I want to change. Another minor 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:33.920 thing is like HDR is just acting kind of funky with Windows. Steam, I don't know 00:14:32.959 --> 00:14:37.720 if you can really pick this up on camera, but the Steam overlay like 00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:42.480 flickers a little bit when I change Windows. So let's just load up Cyberpunk 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:47.600 and see how it looks. All right, here we go. Cyberpunk, it's at 4K. We're using 00:14:45.839 --> 00:14:53.880 uh pretty janky adapter, but that's all right. We still got 4K 120. Everything's 00:14:50.280 --> 00:14:55.920 working and it is beautiful. 00:14:53.880 --> 00:14:59.839 Like straight up. It's it's a really good HDR experience. The screen is very 00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:04.440 bright. It's very vibrant. It looks absolutely stunning. I think we measured 00:15:01.640 --> 00:15:08.959 something like a 12 millisecond gray to gray, which is not great. But like this 00:15:06.839 --> 00:15:12.240 is gameable, especially if I wasn't playing a first-person shooter and I was 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:17.520 playing something more third-person or just a little less, you know, fast-paced 00:15:14.959 --> 00:15:22.000 than Cyberpunk. At 120 hertz, we measured um just a couple milliseconds 00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:24.880 over the theoretical perfect. So it's still getting, you know, there's not a 00:15:23.520 --> 00:15:32.400 whole lot of extra latency, which is always great. I definitely wish the motion was better. As someone who is 00:15:28.959 --> 00:15:35.320 spoiled, I notice it. But the highlights 00:15:32.400 --> 00:15:39.079 on the gun, the highlights on the car, the sky, the colors, like the HDR 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:44.839 experience is genuinely fantastic on a display like 00:15:42.880 --> 00:15:49.160 this. Let's talk about the price now because you're paying a lot for it. For 00:15:46.800 --> 00:15:54.680 the regular studio display, you're paying about $1600. 00:15:52.040 --> 00:15:58.959 Admittedly, it's 5K on a 27-in panel, so that's, you know, 218 PPI. But 00:15:56.839 --> 00:16:03.880 considering it's 2026 and you're paying over a thousand dollars, I really would 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:05.480 have liked to see 120 hertz. It just 00:16:03.880 --> 00:16:09.400 it feels bad. I don't care if there's a camera built in. I don't care if there's 00:16:06.880 --> 00:16:13.360 speakers built in. 60 hertz spending over that like that 00:16:11.400 --> 00:16:20.839 kind of No, that's just unacceptable. The XDR has 120 hertz. The XDR costs 00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:23.560 about twice as much at $3300. 00:16:20.839 --> 00:16:28.800 Our model with the nano texture glass cost a little more than that. Uh I'm 00:16:25.920 --> 00:16:33.079 just glad they don't cost $5000 plus an extra grand for the stand. It's nice to 00:16:30.880 --> 00:16:38.959 see not only the display tech get better by quite a bit, to be frank, while also 00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:41.800 seeing a price cut. But 3300 bucks still 00:16:38.959 --> 00:16:45.360 feels like a lot in this day and age. I don't know you guys. The reality is 00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:49.920 Apple's still going to sell a ton of both the XDR and the non-XDR model and I 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:53.880 can't say I blame them cuz they're pretty nice. They're just, you know, they're overpriced. But if you're 00:16:52.280 --> 00:16:58.000 already an Apple user, you know, you want to stay in the ecosystem, I guess. 00:16:55.800 --> 00:17:01.959 Can I recommend it? No, I can't. Like the price is just astronomical. Can I 00:17:00.079 --> 00:17:05.760 tell you it's a good display? Absolutely. Both of them. They both look 00:17:03.959 --> 00:17:08.439 really good. They both tested well. I just, you know, I can't put my rubber 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:13.880 stamp on that and not when the price is so high. Thanks for watching, guys. This is the 00:17:10.959 --> 00:17:19.199 Studio Display and Studio Display XDR. If you want to see another video, um 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:20.800 look at the one of the tandem OLEDs I 00:17:19.199 --> 00:17:25.679 checked out recently. Those are pretty nice, too. And hey, they're coming down in price. 00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:29.760 You can get an OLED gaming monitor for a lot less than a thousand dollars these 00:17:27.320 --> 00:17:29.760 days.
