If it makes u feel better I customised my iMac…$9,450. For music production and video production editing purposes 😊. Threw everything at it no crashes
Same! Can somebody spare us a dollar 😂 - maxed out my 16” M3 Max. The level of overhead and freedom this gives us is absolutely insane.
if apple makes a PRO XDR with at least 90 hz that would make my jaw drop even if i could never afford one. i am currently sitting at an 48gq900 and love that thing
About to purchase a M3 Pro MacBook Pro to be my daily driver for the next 7+ years
Peter, you should give yourself more credit than you do! You're absolutely a professional.
I have to say though, ff anyone is about to spend big money on a monitor for editing and grading, get the CG319X or the 2700X. EIZO is one of very few brands that will last in the long run. They are not sexy in any way, nor are they spec-monsters. But they’re UNIFORM and performs to spec every day for a lifetime.
Calibration should be done at least once every quarter, and their software + built-in colorimeters are above everyone else.
Using a non-repetedly-calibrated monitor is like playing guitar without tuning it.
I understand your point, smart move from you! the only downside is I bet Apple will update this in the next year or two. I only will buy this used for $2,5K or something like that.
Yeah, that’s right quality over quantity
It would be great if Apple release a new monitor today.
Initially I thought it is a monitor that doesn't compromise on anything at this price point, however that is not really the case:
- Using the Pro Stand, the monitor does not go very low. This is a limitation induced by the height adjust mechanism and it needing to be high enough to enable the 90° rotation (who actually does that on a 32" monitor?)
- the left / right edges of the panel are noticable darker -> not acceptable given the price
- the built-in power supply will be the first point of failure...
- the thunderbolt cable is under constant side-tension given how it is placed if the cable runs through the hole in the pro stand
The other BIG thing to keep in mind is the display’s resale value at the, let’s say, 10 year mark. It’ll still be worth several thousand dollars. After 10 years!
The $1000 27” Thunderbolt Displays still go for $250 on eBay. That’s CRAZY.
So if Apple updates the Pro Display XDR and you decide to buy, you could probably sell yours in a few years for around $3k+ to help pay for the new one.
Great video, Peter!
Apple made this reference monitor to be cheaper than other reference monitors that cost $50,000+. That is the point of the XDR display. If you are making movies & so on this is a cheaper option with reference monitor qualities that is cheaper.
Great business expense as a professional. Yes 5 years old but nothing compares 100%. Well Future proofed. Made well ahead of its time. Only for real professionals Thanks for the review buddy
A good monitor is important but high brightness and high resolution isn’t that important to color accuracy. Just because a monitor is very bright and vivid does not mean it’s color accurate.
To ensure color accuracy you should always calibrate yourself of pay someone else to do it. For PC you can use Calman to calibrate your monitor. Most companies only calibrate a monitor to Delta E>2. Best color accuracy should be less than >1 and close to zero as possible.
For Mac you can use Calibrite though they’re not as good as calman and really just create a profile for your computer to use that’s more accurate but it will use your computers color science to do it.
Ha! My question answered in video form. I'll take it 😅
I made this specifically for you ;)
@@PeterLindgren1 I knew it! I feel special ❤️
*Hey Peter. Thanks for making this video and going to the trouble of actually explaining why a five year old monitor can be far superior to a brand new one. Newer isn't always better. I get it and I agree such specs are essential for image colour and density correction and image quality evaluation prior to performing a grade on a project. One simply cannot effectively grade a project unless they can fully see the colour space and know they are seeing the true accuracy of the source camera footage in its extant condition prior to attempting to correct or modify image colour and density of exposure.*
Wait I didn't get that....Did you say this monitor is 5 years old??? 😂😂😂😂😂 Great video as always!
I might be the only one, but I prefer reflective surfaces. If the light refracts on the matt surface, I can't tell whether the image is just brighter. But on a reflective surface you see the reflection shift if you move your head.
Dude, i was the same, but this shit is dope lol!
I see the worth of this a monitor, I know it really worth it's price. I'm waiting (practising) the moment when my skills and revenue will match the quality and price of the monitor 😀Thanks for sharing 🙏😊
I bought one 2 months ago. I love it.
Updates - I still love it - 11.08.2024 ❤❤❤
@@tuananhha how much did you pay for it...thinking about purchasing the monitor myself
That is a pretty sweet monitor! Also, it’s a business expense and a write off. 😜😁👍
Did you just call yourself “not a professional?” Nah bro….you’re a professional. Give yourself the credit you’ve earned and deserve!
The old monitor does not have the entire color palette, good video friend.
I also type my opinion. Because like and comment gives Peter a virtual thanks.
I prefer to spend more money and usually if i need something, i do my research and get the best possible item.
But apple is mostly overpriced with it's items.
En fantastiskt cool skärm det där. Kommer ihåg när den utannonserades, kan inte fatta att det var 5(!) år sen!
Kul att höra dina tankar kring den 😀
Ska själv skaffa en ny skärm. Har alltid använt min MPP inbyggda 16 tums skärm - och den är fantastisk. Men liiiite liten. För min del blir det nog en Apple Studio Display. Ser fram emot större arbetsyta!
42" LG C3... got 2 of them for video production. They are awesome and cheap comparatively. Thanks for your content!
TVs? A bit too big nah?
@@kissu_io it’s fantastic
Köpte den (Nano) direkt när den kom ut, trodde verkligen inte att det var 5 år sedan mer 3 år sedan, tiden går snabbt :) Även om det verkligen inte finns något att klaga på kvalitetsmässigt så hade det varit riktigt nice om de kunde släppa en XDR 2 med 8K upplösning.
Håller med gällande 8k!
Det är sjukt att den fortfarande är ensam på tronen dock 😯
Hey Peter! You're still doing your fitness regime? Keep up the great content mate.
Nope, been prioritising other things this year.
I think that good question would be, will that purchase increase the income to the 1/12 of price monthly
Can’t really see it that way.
It’s like comparing it to buying a NAS. Purchasing hard drives won’t necessarily generate a higher income, but it will help you to run your business more smoothly/seamless
Hey, Do you know if the Nano-textured glass effects the image quality in any way compared to the Standard glass version ?
Shut up, apple and take my money! 💛💛
Your verticle flip is dope!
As a pro designer, I also love this monitor, but it's hard to justify a $7k investment on a 5-year-old tech. I'm hopeful Apple will have an XDR 2.0 coming maybe this year in October when they have a Mac event. Ideally, Apple would have a 30" Studio Display at half of the price of the XDR. That would be a nice move.
Earliest in 2025
is it appropriate to buy a Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S in 2024 and is it good for night shooting and of course during the day?
It’s a great camera, unfortunately not good in low light.
@@PeterLindgren1 okay, thanks. I'll search something different))
Peter, I noticed my Pro Display XDR purchased and used since 2019 now has a dimmer area (near the frame) in all sides. Very noticeable with white scenes at brightness bars of 3 or less. They brightness is even throughout once pass 50% brightness. You see this with your new Pro Display XDR? Thanks for your time,
Have not noticed this on mine no!
@@PeterLindgren1 must be the age then. I have it for 5 years. Thanks
I went through 4 PDXDRs due to that vignette effect, as well as dead pixels and repeated dirty screen effect/unevenly lit display due to the 576 dimming zones. One even had the glass on skewed with glue sticking out. All out of the box. I know a few people who do pro work who couldn’t work with these issues. I was one of them.
@@tomreports1223 after 5 years, I finally noticed, Must be some change in my office lighting and seating position, But once I saw, I cannot disregard now. Hoping for Pro Display XDR 2 soon.
How is the name of your light bars on the desk?
Hi Peter what your macbook pro spec?
hur kan jag träffa dig? man bor ju lite utanför götet :)
does this monitor even work with non-apple devices? can a computer change this monitor’s colorspace?
I doubt it!
5:48 what’s that mouse looking thing on the left of the iPad

we need to discuss the controller on your left hand. what is that?

@@PeterLindgren1 Hey Peter, what is the name/brand of those tube lights on the side of your table? Great video BTW.
Today let's see if an upgrade launches, wwdc 10 june 2024
What monitor arm are you using?
Peter, är det Ergotrons HX du använder?
varför såg jag peter i en annons?
You bought it because you can 😅 There are a lot of other options as good and sometimes better than the xdr at a lower price... The best investment is on a monitor calibrator, have been using calibrators for years...
Tell me one that does everything this does 😅?
@@PeterLindgren1 also you don't need 1000nits to work, it will burn your eye balls, recommend brightness is around 120cm/m2 which is equivalent to 120nits
@PeterLindgren1 don't get me wrong the xdr is awesome but it's not worth the price, I would consider buying it for half the price but would still consider other options... As I stated, you bought it because you can, I wish I could get a good alternative... 😉
@@DiogoReis Dude, i've worked on 120/300 nits displays, and they're incredibly bad to work at in comparison!
I know that there's other great options, but there's nothing that does everything that this does!
Dell UltraSharp 32 6K Monitor - U3224KB surpasses the XDR in many aspects for less than 1/3 of the price...
Nice vdeo i have pC its ok.
I picked this up for $2500 used 🤓
Apple is due for an 8K monitor update this fall
Still doesn’t make this monitor outdated 🤷🏻
60Hz is TUF
Don’t care about more when editing honestly 🤷🏻
Peter’s wrong by saying you don’t need to calibrate. If you’re going to be doing color grading in any form, you will need to calibrate it every couple weeks or so. so saying that just cause it comes calibrated out the box it doesn’t need a calibration is wrong. I’m the truth is this unit is not four color grading. It does not do 100% black you would be better off with a high-end Sony or FSI unit.
The price of a true reference monitor is several times this. It’s like saying that you shouldn’t use anything other than a Venice to film videos with 🤷🏻
@@PeterLindgren1 you deleted my comment? WTH, that's mad uncool.
@@PeterLindgren1
No need for a Master Grade Monitor like the BVM-HX3100 or Prominence. Just get the PVM-X2400 or a CG319X (which is actually cheaper than the Pro Display XDR).
And a probe is very important.
Grading without a truly calibrated display is like playing guitar without tuning it.
@@emillarson89 weird how the bulk of my most popular videos were graded on shitty displays huh 🤷🏻
@@PeterLindgren1
Which won’t let you know what you’re actually uploading :)

OMG!😧
Could have been good if the display wasn't locked at 60 Hz... It is also just IPS,not impressed. 32" is quite too big too. Surely a decent reference monitor but most people will watch your videos on a cheap screen or even a TN panel for most of them. Worth the money? Probably not.
No need for more than 60hz when your video or photo editing, and again, this is a tool. IPS is great for color rendition and brightness.
It is indeed worth the money if you’re a professional at what you do.
What?? I thought it had a mini-Led panel! It is actually a IPS with 576 local dimming zones. That explains the cap at 500 nits in SDR
The DELL monitor that I have has MINI LED, I do think this is the better option tbh!
@@PeterLindgren1 strong disagree, I cannot live without 120Hz on my Macbook. Having a desktop monitor or 27"+ in front of me at 60Hz only? NO WAY. What's the point of working on a premium computer if it cannot even have smooth scrolling or motion. Even for Web browsing or coding it is critical and a very good feeling on day to day basis. So yes, you will not export 240Hz in a video, but that will be so much more pleasing to the eyes. I rather have more monitors with a high refresh rate than a bigger resolution on one and locked to 60, any day.
IPS is just inferior to OLED on any aspect. It is sure better than TN or VA, but still beaten any time. Especially in games, or good films that will showcase deep blacks and infinite contrast. With no real issues regarding burn-in either.
Accuracy is important but not a deal breaker either if you are there for 98% of the way, other quality of life things are here.
That monitor is far obsolete nowadays with Vision Pro and the freshly released Vision OS v2.
So no, this is a total worthless piece of hardware IMO.
🤟❤
Why? simple... to write off and get it free after tax return 😂😂
You never get anything for free lol. Tax return is only 25% of the price 🤷🏻
first
60 Hz no thank you.
Works great for what I do 🫡
6k, 120hz isn't currently possible with data rates I believe. Maybe thunderbolt 5 when it comes out?
