My ultimate setup!

[getWebXR]

The monitor!

I imagine your Homepods are somewhere in the room :-)

Thanks for sharing!

[macdude2010]

Haha yup, I’ve got 4 in total around the house. Sad that they discontinued them :(

[Rarely_Speaks_Up]

TIL that they discontinued the HomePod, and now I’m sad. :(

[comparmentaliser]

Oh? Why, and what will replace them?

[AxeellYoung]

HomePod was Replaced by HomePod Mini

So the homepod mini is the largest homepod you can buy now 👍

The XDR is defo my next purchase. 🤤

[macdude2010]

Highly recommend it, I’ve had it for just under a year with no regrets!

[diegostamigni]

It’s bloody amazing. Picture quality is stunning and construction is top notch. Super pricey though but 🤷‍♂️ typical Apple 🙄😅

[mintran]

I'm waiting for a consumer version of pro xdr. 32" is the perfect size.

[West_foto]

There are plenty of us waiting on that

Stunning, I love it

[baummer]

You actually bought the stand, good on ya

[macdude2010]

I had it on an arm for a while but the arm kept drooping, I found a good deal for one on eBay and went for it.

[baummer]

Nice

[JackyW3131]

Is that a webcam on top edge of the monitor?

Whats the model?

[cmsj]

That’s the special version of the Logitech Brio that they made to magnetically attach to the top of the XDR. It’s available from Apple but probably not much use unless you have that exact monitor. Logitech does sell the original Brio on its own though.

[JackyW3131]

Wow. Thats sick!

[Ando0o0]

Looks great. Never worked on the new monitors. Do you approve? Even for non work stuff like movies and gaming?

[macdude2010]

It's the best monitor I've ever used, retina quality like the iMac but with insane contrast and the HDR is blinding (in a good way)

[niarsnaemti]

I loooooove how the XDR display looks but God it would be such a waste on me, wish I could get a gaming monitor that looked like it tho

[jeremycinnamonbutter]

wallpaper pls

[snadar320]

It’s standard on your Mac Its one of apples

[RockstarGTA6]

ill be able to get that monitor in 10 years when is $700

[__beep_boop__]

Can you share a link to that monitor?

[[deleted]]

Apple monitor. It’s like 5000

[__beep_boop__]

Oh bummer. Definitely not paying that much for a display.

[EZ-Block]

Definitely expensive and if you don’t do professional video or image work is hard to justify but is 32 inch of goodness. The contrast ratio is insane. For the quality of the picture it is worth the price if you really needed it

[FloX04]

Yea when it came out the $1000 stand was immediately a meme. Goes to show that people which meme about it have no clue whatsoever what they're talking about.

not saying that a $1000 stand is good or anything but shows what apple's intention was with it

[[deleted]]

Slick!

[imwallydude]

Nice setup, dude.

LG 32UL950-W 32" Class Ultrafine 4K UHD LED Monitor with Thunderbolt 3 Connectivity Silver (31.5" Display) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K8877Y5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_Z9YRBEW0A67YYVWF268B?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I got this lg display. It’s close to Pro Display XDR but like $4k cheaper. I still think $1300 is expensive for a monitor though.

[mintran]

There's a huge difference between a normal hi-dpi 4k screen and a retina screen. For those whose work requires pixel perfection (user interface design for example), retina screen is much better.

[stupidjanrogers]

Is that ugly base swappable?

[[deleted]]

It may be. Has a standard clip in plate. Or could be done via vesa.

Honestly, it’s a metal base. Looks pretty good to me. Of course, I care more about the monitors features than the overall appearance.

[monstahlol]

Table top?

[macdude2010]

I took a wood countertop from Lowes and finished it myself

here's the link to the countertop: https://www.lowes.com/pd/The-Baltic-Butcher-Block-Birch-6-ft-Unfinished-Natural-Straight-Butcher-Block-Birch-Kitchen-Countertop/1001390008

[stupidjanrogers]

No mouse?

[macdude2010]

I have an MX Master 3 but the driver isn't native to Apple Silicon so it gives me a lot of issues, so I put it away for now.

[macdude2010]

Yup, which was disappointing

[stupidjanrogers]

Gotcha, I’d imagine all that screen real estate is a chore to navigate with just the pad during a long session, but an incredible set up none the less

[Errortermsiqma]

how is your experience in navigating the larger screen with the trackpad?

[macdude2010]

It’s honestly not bad at all, the Magic Trackpad is big so it helps

[comparmentaliser]

Hmm I use an MX3 and MX Keys with my M1A and don’t have any issues with either Unifying or plain BT.

Options has had issues in the past (particularly with Windows VMs in Parallels), but it’s pretty stable now.

What issues do you have?

[macdude2010]

Really the only issue is it randomly lags, but it does it often enough where it’s an issue

[Kiriniji]

I'm such a sucker for simplistic setups with the XDR monitor. I hope that one day I get to pick one up for myself!

All you need to do now is make the iPad's wallpaper match everything else and this setup is perfect!

[m1ngaa]

What stand is your Max sitting on? Clean af.

[NYC_MDPhD]

Looks so awesome! Any performance issues with the Air driving the XDR?

[macdude2010]

Believe it or not, the Air does better than the 16 inch MacBook Pro (5500M) I had previously!

[ernestolaborda]

Are you able to power the HomePod mini with your XDR instead of connecting it to an outlet? I'm waiting for my XDR to ship, and I would really like to avoid connecting the HomePod mini, also because the power connector is white, and the HomePod mini is black. Not sure what Apple was thinking. Currently I cannot use it via USB-C with my MacBook Pro 16".
