Their monitor is great for a consumer or prosumer monitor but just because it has PRO in the name doesn't mean it can dance in the ring with the actual PRO displays that are used to master million dollar motion pictures.
The point of the 6k Pro HDR wasn't to compete with the one or two $40k monitors used to master million dollar motion pictures.
It was to replace the five to ten other $40k monitors used in other parts of the production pipeline, by being accurate/wide/bright enough for that purpose, and to provide good-enough accuracy to a whole swath of jobs where it was dearly needed but far too expensive.
Overkill for developers though.
And then there's the Dell UP2718Q, almost entirely the exact same specs, but only 4K, at 1600€. Released 2017, years before the XDR.
The ideal is 5K, which is double 2560x1440 in each dimension, but essentially the only 5K displays available are the LG one made in partnership with Apple, which is over a grand and has numerous quality issues, or the one built into the iMac. It’s really annoying.
Are these documented anywhere? I have one (it's glorious) and I've not had a problem with it, but it'd be interesting to see the list.
Here's a spec overview for those unfamiliar. https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/comparison/4f37c07a...
But you're right, the additional 3000$ are definitely noticeable - but if they're noticeable enough to justify that price tag is another question.
Did you just compare that mediocre POS to an XDR?
What's so "mediocre POS" about them in your opinion?
