Ars Technica: ”The new 27-inch monitor supports 5K resolution with over 1 billion colors via 14.7 million pixels. It also has True Tone technology to attenuate color warmth in different lighting situations, reaching up to 600 nits. Overlayed on the display is an antireflective coating, but there is also a nanotexture glass option to further reduce glare.”
Of the products introduced last week I’m most interested in the new Studio Display. I’ve been a laptop only guy since the early 2000’s — back then it was an IBM ThinkPad — but I’ve always appreciated a desktop setup that includes a full size monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
My current setup is a 24in Dell display of some kind, which as served me really well. Sure, it’s not fancy, but it does the job and my old eyes appreciate the extra space given how much I have to blow the text up to read it. 😃 My personal Mac is a 2015 15in MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD. I like it, a lot. I’ve written almost 100% of Stream on it (my prior MBP was a 2011.)
I’d love to pick up a new fully loaded 16in M1 MacBook Pro and one of these displays. It would be a perfect configuration that would last me for years and years to come.
I recently picked up a new desk and shuffled stuff around in the basement to get it setup to my liking. I’m going to build a new stand that will hold up to three MacBook’s in clamshell mode and mount a web cam on the Dell display. The stand should fit under the display. Once that’s done I’ll mount some Velcro cable organizers under the back of the desk and it’ll be just how I want it.
For the time being here’s the current setup. It’s in transition so please forgive the mess in the background.
