“So, this is one that actually came with the Pro Display XDR, but any of their polishing cloths will work fine, and it cleans it without an issue and keeps it nice and clean.”

“Now the big question is is it going to work with the XDR display because the Mac Studio well is going to be the AI agent for the house.”

Complaints (4)
- “Viewing angles, a little bit questionable”
  VideoMarques Brownlee · December 2019Watch at 10:42
- “one downside of the IPS panel is that the white point shifts blue if you look at any angle other than straight on.”
  VideoRuslan Tulupov · September 2025Watch at 4:32
- “you might notice a blooming effect because there are in quotes only 576 dimming zones”
  VideoRuslan Tulupov · September 2025Watch at 2:44
- “The glass can be more reflective, which is distracting in rooms where the light is unmanaged and attracts fingerprints and dust particles more easily.”

Praise (2)
- “Then the ports on the back of the monitor are pretty nice to have, so with this one you get three USB type -c and one Thunderbolt for input”
  VideoMarques Brownlee · December 2019Watch at 6:24
- “it charges the laptop through that Thunderbolt cable, which saves you a cable coming out of the laptop like some other monitors do.”
  VideoMarques Brownlee · December 2019Watch at 6:34
Complaints (3)
- “those extra USBC ports on the back run at USB 2 speeds, which is only useful for basic input output or a simple webcam.”
  VideoRuslan Tulupov · September 2025Watch at 6:55
- “Connectivity is where the Proisplay XDR falls a bit short compared to screens by companies like Dell and Ben Q, who are starting to put Thunderbolt docks in their displays.”

  VideoMarques Brownlee · December 2019Watch at 9:14
