Apple Next External Display Just Need To Have This Things

Looking for current more affordable monitors that will work great with your Macbook Pro? Scroll to the bottom for our top picks

Since Apple announced the 32” Pro Display XDR in the Summer of 2019 I have been trying to justify it for myself. But at $6000 is has been a hard pull.

This monitor is beautiful and comes with amazing specs like:

  • 32” 6K Retina
  • Mini Led
  • 1 Thunderbolt 3 and 3 USB C ports
  • 1000 nits sustained brightness and 1600 nits peak brightness
  • XDR
  • 1,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio
  • 10-bit color depth
  • P3 color gamut

All in an eye-pleasing aluminum unibody that looks good on any workspace. But like I said before $6000 with a stand is a bit steep for most.

Apple 2022 Display

Apple is rumored to be working on at least 3 new monitors for a possible 2022 release of which we at least should see one.

And this is what it will need to have for me to pull the trigger on it.

After Apple released the new M1 Pro and M1 Max Macbook Pro’s this past fall with amazing displays featuring many of the technology in the now almost 3 years old Pro Display XDR and even some new additions like Pro Motion I can see a lot of this also coming to an external more affordable display.

What do I want to see?

  • A minimum of 30” and preferably 32”
  • Pro Motion
  • 5k XDR Retina display with 1000 nits sustained and a minimum of 218 PPI
  • 10 Bit Color and DCI-P3
  • Mini Led
  • 2 Thunderbolt ports or at least 1 Thunderbolt and 1 USB C
  • Built-in speakers will be nice but not a deal-breaker
  • Included stand and VESA mount option
  • And the most important part is a more affordable price

So how much I am willing to pay for an external Apple display with at least these specs?

For a 32” I am fine at $2.299 For 30” $1,899 And while I will like at least 30” if I considered a 27” I will be willing to pay at most $1,499

I am looking forward to the first Apple event in the spring to see if any of this materialize.

Best Professional Monitors For Apple Macs (early 2020 #mac #macbookpro #imac #macpro #macmini )

If you need a professional-grade external monitor for your Mac the best and indisputable first choice will be Apple’s own XDR display. This display is awesome and a bargain for the specs. But to be honest most people don’t need those kinds of specs and at a starting price of $6000 it shows. So here are the best alternatives that won’t break the bank and provide an excellent experience for Mac users.

Our first and go to choice will be LG’s UltraFine 5k monitor. This monitor is made specifically for Apple Mac’s and provides superb color accuracy and build quality. Offers a 5k resolution on a 27” screen size.

With a stunning 5120-by-2880 resolution and P3 wide color gamut, the 27-inch LG UltraFine 5K Display brings your favorite photos and videos to life. So whether you’re watching a movie or editing an image, this high-performance monitor delivers immaculate 5K resolution for even the most pixel-packed visuals.

Our second choice is another LG this time the 4k 32” Ultrafine class display that gives you a little more screen real state at a bit lower resolution while still providing excellent picture quality. At around the same price as the 27” 5K monitor mentioned above this 32” will be the first choice for those looking for a large size than what our top pick offers.

Third place is the amazing BenQ 32” 4k PD3220U display. While BenQ styling may not be the best what matters the most is picture quality and color accuracy and in this front BenQ over-delivers for the price and specs.

The PD3220U has everything you need for success. Trusted color by PANTONE and CalMAN verification, 4K HDR10 video support, and Thunderbolt™ 3 connectivity make this display incredibly versatile. It has the chops to carry photographers, videographers, and graphic designers through a workday. It has the style and features for an evening of streaming or family fun. And, it has eye care that looks out for you while you’re watching your monitor.

Now if what you're on a constrained budget but still wants the best quality you can afford then the under $400 Dell Ultrasharp U2719DX 27-Inch is an excellent value for the price. While not on par with any of the 3 options above is still a great display for the price.
