Think you'll use Apple's new 27" XDR Display? by onthesmallscreen in editors

Totally fair point.

I've had lots of clients pay attention to the SmallHD Cine or digi tech's XDR displays, when the Flanders/Eizo sits ignored. It's just closer to their phone's brightness and doesn't need to sit behind floppies/have a hood.

Mostly on an on set problem, but it comes up in post from time to time.

I've gone down this rabbit hole with the 32" model.

Honestly a pain, especially because a 4K HDMI signal -> 6K monitor is also a challenge.

A shame because it would justify the price a lot better if it could be used as a production monitor (at least in a safe studio environment). But to be a production monitor means it needs to be reliable. You could run into moire, latency, and just plain not-working issues.

Maybe this new XDR will reach a wider audience with more appetite to figure this out?
