And they've realized that, and so they haven't done any monitor at all. But Apple isn't going to do a $120, or $400, or even $800 monitor.
You can get a perfectly workable one for $120. Folks, $400 is already high-end for a monitor. The Ultrafine's price is already extremely premium.

I don't care if it's 120 Hz, mini-LED, 1500 nits, has nanotexture glossy reduction and is 6K that's still way more than almost any Mac user is ever going to spend on a monitor. The price tag floated on ATP the other day was $2k, which is bananas for a monitor. There's no price tag that would satisfy both them and consumers. I'm not surprised at all that Apple has no offering in this area.

Seriously, I should never have to deal with junk like this.īetterDummy Display Hardware LG Mac Mac App macOS 12 Monterey Pro Display XDR Retina Say what you will about 5K vs 4K monitors, but ever since we switched from LG 5K displays and Caldigit Thunderbolt docks to Dell 4k USB Type-C displays, the kernel panics went away. And I have to say: it’s a choice I don’t regret one bit. Which left me with the LG UltraFine 27UN880-B. This is why Apple needs to make its own prosumer-priced external display (or even better, displays) - it’s clear no one else is making them other than LG, and the LG displays aren’t great. It also happens to look a lot better, in my opinion, than the budget option in the article. It’s 4K, supports the P3 color space, and has the inputs I need for my (realtively) basic needs. I’m using the LG 27” IPS 4K UHD Monitor (model #: 27UP600-W.AUS) which cost me about $399 and technically falls outside of Casey’s criteria, but I think works wonderfully. macOS 10.14 Mojave Removes Subpixel Anti-aliasing.The LG UltraFine 5K, kernel_task, and Me.So we decided to chat with him so he can tell us more about his project, where he thinks Apple could improve, and why Intel-based Macs are more flexible when it comes to supporting non-Apple monitors, among other things. Nobody can explain it better than the guy behind the code. It lets you trick macOS by mirroring the contents of a fake 5K display of the right aspect ratio onto your actual 1440p screen. Macworld’s Jared Newman highlights BetterDummy, a clever utility that addresses this limitation in a roundabout way.
Macs don’t provide HiDPI (or Retina) scaling for sharp text on monitors with less than 4K resolution, including those with a 1440p resolution (2560 by 1440 pixels), and existing workarounds for Intel-based Macs don’t work with M1-based Macs. Even the iPad can connect to external displays, though its utility remains a bit limited. It remains quite surprising that there isn’t an option for those who can’t afford and don’t need the $6000 reference-monitor quality of the Pro Display XDR to pair with a MacBook or Mac Pro, even two and a half years after Apple released its foray back into the external monitor market. Here’s what I wrote (an attempt to explain why 4K 27” displays aren’t great).

I wonder if there might have been a better display market had Windows not pretended 4K was 5K. By default, macOS uses the display’s native resolution while Windows scales to pseudo 5K. When I wrote about this, I noticed that macOS and Windows treat my 27” 4K display differently. Ideally we’d have that same variety with 5K displays. Before Retina was a thing, Casey and I could choose from a variety QHD displays. While I’d also love to see Apple release a not ridiculously expensive but still very expensive monitor, I don’t think that addresses the problem. For my money, the completely embarrasing monitor situation Over the last year or two, Apple has been doing a phenomenal job of filling the holes The LG still seems to have problems, and the Apple Pro Display XDR costs $6,000.
