- I bought a used Apple ProDisplay XDR for a fraction of the retail price. Now that it is 2024, is this still worth it?

I love these monitors. I bought my Pro Display XDR with the Pro Stand in 2020 and it was one of the best purchasing decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve long said if I had to save one (non partner or pet) thing in my home in a fire, it would be my Pro Display XDR.
I went with dual Apple 5K Studio Displays. I work in Finance and Film. They are luscious. They also go super bright. We are alike sturdy design matters significantly to me too.
Malcolm? Such a VULGAR display of wealth! PS: I hate you. LOL!
I just really hope that when they update this monitor they keep the same design! I really love the design!
Same here!
Looooove the lighting in this
Loved this review and all the video shots! May I ask where is your table top from and where can I get that beautiful wallpaper of yours?
Thanks for answering the premise outright from the beginning of the video.
Just bought this new from Apple 2 months ago. It's well worth it today for more reasons than you list in your video. If productivity goes up, it doesn't matter if the display was made 4 years ago. Nice video
This... I purchased new from apple in December. I use it for my photography business. I make money on it. Sure it's expensive but it's a tool that I use every day. Only professionals and people with lot's of money to burn should buy this. Also, I don't care that it's 60hz. The point is color, dynamic range, and clarity.
I agree, but you must provide us link of with that gorgeous wallpaper.
I think in the future, as OLED replaces LCD on consumer displays, we'll look back on this monitor as one of the best LCD displays ever created. Insane color accuracy, contrast, brightness, true 10-bit color depth, it has everything that you could ask for from an LCD monitor. The 60Hz refresh rate will probably be the worst aging part of it, but if you just want great picture quality for content consumption and creation, I would assume it won't age terribly badly in the future.
The design is awesome !!!!
I JUST started looking at a used ProDisplay this week. I know intuitively that it's silly for my use case, but I'd love more size than my Studio Display and I gotta have that MacOS scaling/density... This gets me one step closer to justification. Great video!
Great video! Where i can get that red glass cup?
This and the Studio display are both amazing (I have 2 studio displays with height adjust). Wish apple would put a webcam and speakers in the pro display.
No, I just clicked on this video to thank you for a really old video you posted on replacing your hard drive, it was the only helpful video I've found. I'm fine with my normal iMac, it was refurbished and way cheaper than new. I don't have to see the pack of my computer though.
Awesome video and thanks a lot. I'm considering one myself. Question, the iPhone desk stand with magsafe you have - can you share more information about this?
And Just how in DA Hell are You Planning On Hiding That for your wife!?! ...Or HuZband!?!?
I don't think that the display shows aging at all. Except of the pro motion, I bet you don't even use its full resolution (It defaults to half you need to manually enable it in the settings). It is a timeless monitor. I got one for about 4 years now and I still love it the same as the day I bought it. I also prefer it from my LG C1 for HDR content. There is something organic in the image of this monitor that can't get achieved by the C1.
at this point in 2024 I will just wait for the new model prices should drop then, Currently have two of them new cost me $14,000 but that was back in 2020
I wish I did not watch your video. What you said makes perfect sense. Now, I will wait for the new version. 😊
you should keep the studio display on vertical, 32 horizontal + 27 vertical will be great. I hate big monitors like 42 or 48, 32 is enough.
It's also Jony Ive's last design before he left .
I went back from 32 inch to 27 inch. Since I have 2 displays. The double 32 inch is just to much
I have owned and daily use a pair of these with Nano-texture glass since they were launched. Close to top of the list of features for me is the One Thunderbolt 3 (USB‑C) port and three USB‑C ports on the rear of the display. I would have prefer all to be Thunderbolt 3 or 4 now. I did buy one with a stand and the other is on a vesa mount and arm. I like the monitor's colour management options. I do not game but do use them for editing photos and videos. THe HDR capability rec 2020 equivalence is great.
I had a flight case made for one ProDisplay XDR and its stand and this helped while I was on long term assignment.
I have no view on the Apple Studio display. I have large top spec large EIZO monitors and the earlier large (but smaller than XDR) LG 4k monitors but the lack of built in features in these mean they sit off the the side and rarely used.
I use the ProDisplay XDR with a MacStudio Ultra and M2 16" MBP (when in the field) - these displays work seamlessly with these sources.
Gurmin says that 🍎 Apple is coming out with a new 32 inch monitor soon.
It’s definitely overdue a spec bump to 120hz, more dimming zones and what not.
Same with the studio display, how are they selling a 60hz non HDR screen for that amount
Or will Apple just push Vision Pro or a stripped down version in future as their desktop display tech
If Vision Pro delivers as hoped then it's cheaper than ProDisplay XDR and I could just use that ha.
I am not going to pay op for below 90Hz, no way. Give me at least 90Hz and HDR.
as a pro fine art printer I have one since 12/24 not sure how the brightness has helped me ( Eizo is doing it for much less )
60hz and no OLED is a dealbreaker at this point. But it is pretty.
The first thing I bought when I won my wage theft lawsuit was the Pro Display XDR. The moment the money hit my account, I went on Apple and ordered it and I have no regrets. Granted, I bought it with free money, so yeah.
Is it really free money if you won it, because it was rightfully yours? Or are you justifying spending the money because you originally weren't sure you would get it, so it feels like free money?
@@evancycles Yeah, you're right, the money was rightfully mine all along. If my employers would have paid me what I rightfully earned from the get go I could have saved up and bought the display after a few months. Then again, I was very undisciplined with money at the time and would have never saved up $6000 plus 8% for sales tax, so it's a double edged sword. Either way, I love this display. When a successor comes out I will buy it on day one.
Your financial decisions today may seem expensive. However, you buy Apple because they are cutting edge quality and usually ahead. The costs need to be thought out into the future as videos/digital images... artwork film making will all require larger storage for screening and having the M4 studio 'maxed' with this monitor, and you're talking 10 years of awesomeness ❤ Then because you're the kind that keeps things nice will trade in this for a entirely new upgraded to modernity and you'll spend more then.😎
4600€ for a brand new one with stand. Is it acceptable? 😮
I really like this video.
Can i run windows pc ? Or is it just mac?
Yeah $7200 is a bad financial decision. 😂 Good to see a video of yours in my feed Matt, hope you are doing well!
I found 3 stand height adjustable studio displays for $4500 total. Which is the price of 1 used Pro Display XDR.
This thing badly needs at least a 144hz refresh rate. At this price 60hz is sad.
But wouldn't be better to just buy this new Dell 32" 6k monitor as its below $2500? The panel is most likely the same (LG sourced).
Yes. A clearly inferior physical design but the display is basically the same. I like the 40” 5k2k Dell.
I like you man.
There's something special about you.
YOu just earned a sub
I also bought this monitor second-hand, and after not even 9 months of use, it broke. The screen suddenly turned black, and nobody, including Apple, could repair it; only a replacement (not new) with a warranty of only 90 days, for the sum of 3000 euros. It didn't seem like a good deal to me, so it became a significant loss. It now sits on the other desk as an object with a pleasing appearance. Now I have opted for a new studio display with a 2-year warranty.
Setting aside this experience, the monitor is absolutely phenomenal. The colors don't compare to the studio display panel. The 32-inch screen does help me more, to be fair, with a thinner bezel than the studio display, although I didn't use HDR. I wouldn't buy it new; it's not worth the price difference for my productivity work compared to the studio display, but if I were to find another second-hand one with more warranty, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.
Yeah, I highly recommend Apple Care. I renewed mine for another 2 years.
@@mattgonzalezYou were able to do that on one you purchased from eBay?
@@jordanarentsen1785 Yeah it's just based on the serial number. But the one I bought already had Apple Care. I just renewed it.
@@mattgonzalezDid the seller communicate that status to you? Just curious how hard it is to find another one in that condition.
does it auto rotate when you turn it without having to go change it in your system settings?
yes
Not first option? Show me another with >=218 PPI and size 32'+, that doesn't look obnoxious (ekhm, Dell) - I'm eager to know such model.
Great Video but please get rid of the cable sleeve man 😂, those 2 braided cables on their own would look better than that
Ehh I didn't like having two cables. But I do agree on this particular sleeve. I don't think it's great
@@mattgonzalez Yeah I get that, have the same 2 cables on the Studio Display and it drives me crazy that I can't get them to stay together nicely
no speakers , web cam
I have the Pro Display XDR (standard glass) and I'm struggling because I need another display but I'm so spoiled by having this one. I'd consider getting a second one, but it also feels like an update is possible.
Get an oled
i don't use apple products and i am by no means an profesional, but an xdr display with maybe an oled and pro motion would be damn amazing to see
You can get far better monitors, than this one. And the Pro XDR only works with Apple anyway.
just wish they come out with a new model...
have been waiting for 2 years now...
also agreed 32 is perfect - can't wait to deprecate my 27 studio display
I'm waiting for Apple to refresh Pro display and Mac Pro desktop.
its funny that 6 years later there is still no other 6k monitors 32inch out there. I dont even know why, is it that hard to make?
Until production costs come down enough, it's a hard sell to build a 6K monitor for a niche market. That's why there are so few options.
But who is it for? You would not want a 6K display, as a monitor for 4K video color monitoring and the display isn't even color accurate.
So left is photographers, if they don't care about color accuracy too much.
If you want a higher resolution, Asus is coming out with an 8K ProArt this summer.
There is one. Obviously it’s a lot cheaper both in money and its physical presentation.
Are you going to pick up a s24 ultra for the Channel?
Possibly. Definitely plan on covering more non Apple stuff though.
@@mattgonzalez looks like a great phone I’m getting one in a few days went with the black titanium 512g unlocked
I personally am using 2x 32 inch displays and the specs are very basic so I was looking to upgrade my monitor to a way nicer one made for gaming. this my research monitors and eventually it led me to think about what I used to Apple Pro XDR displays as my main monitors because it was hard finding a high resolution 32 inch monitor that looked nice. like descended cool AF but then I looked at the price and $5000 plus $1000 for a stand and if I got 2 it would be $12,000 in total. Then you would have to add on AppleCare which is like $500 for one and you have two of them so it’s $1000 in total so the total cost is $13,000. That is a whole car down payment like you could probably afford a whole car back then with this much money. So needless to say, I might not be buying one anytime soon.😂
Why did you move from the LG C2 to this? Let alone the studio display which is an ancient display and costs more. I'm curious what you didn't like about the C2, you didn't mention.
I really liked it, but the TV-ness of it got old after a while. If it was a proper monitor I'd probably still be using it. Plus the size and 4K resolution made my setup a little bigger than I wanted since I needed to have it further away. Still a great option. Might go back and make a video on it.
The cables sleeve just kills the aesthetic of this monitor.
It needs to be oled. But where the industry is at right now, i'd give it at least 5 more years. Apple's barely adding oled to their ipads and macbooks.
Creatives should save money on the matte coating, matte coatings objectively deteriorate image quality. It's essentially a 'pro mist' filter applied permanently to your image. It raises black levels, it reduces sharpness, contrast and saturation.
There's a reason no phone, no tv and no macbook or high end laptop comes with a matte display coating.
"no tv"
Not any more. Top Samsung QD-OLED tv for 2024 are going the matte direction S95D
@@vlcthefishYeah it's mind boggling how samsung is able to handicap its own products like that lol.
Screen at a price of $6K is not worth it in 2024. If you just want it and buy it, that's a different story, but there are many monitors that can give you the same picture quality for a lot less money. Nice video thanks for sharing.
Not true. Tell me just one alternative please. With glossy screen.
In 2025, I will be buying a new or used Apple 32-inch XDR display to pair with my first M-1/or M-2 "Mac Studio" or "mac mini" pro model. Afterward, I will add a 4K web camera and a set of nice external speakers (smile...smile).
As HDTVTest said;
This display is at best a monitor for a divorced lawyer. It's simply not color accurate, for professional work.
Give us half of its price only and we buy it
I agree but my bank says I have 4,599 reasons why I can't
I would never get it with Nanotech
Ok, you sold me! I’m not buying it. Good review tho and view points
"YOU SHOULD BUY IT". IF YOU ARE NOT MARRIED AND CAN SELL A KIDNEY!!! And That Without A STAND! Come On Apple! Let Us Little Steven Spielbergs Play With The Other Reindeer!
Love me some apple stuff but nope. Happy with my Samsung and LG monitors.
Lol someone using tv as monitor upgraded to pro display xdr😂😂😂
so what’s your point? it’s still a $4500 monitor which is insane for most people. in 2024, people like me are just waiting for an actual price drop.
LOL APPLE ....? PRICE DROP??!?!?!? LOL! Ive Been An Apple Fan Since 1987 Never Been Without A Mac and I Have NEVER! EVER! Seen A Price Drop or a "SALE" On An Apple Product. Not A B-Stock, Certainly Not An "Open Box". Hell The Apple Boxes Are $150.00 In Customer Dye-Cut, Full Color, Packing Materials!
Actually…what is YOUR POINT… Why are you even looking at something you can NOT afford and commenting… then have the Audacity to comment and attempt to drag someone because you are BROKE. Shop within your means and budget and keep your abrasive day dreaming comments to yourself BUDDY. I can tell you are BROKE because you said you’re waiting for APPLE to PRICE DROP a MONITOR.. The Last ONE that was made which some people still own and use price never dropped and people used it for 10+ years… so Ill be nice and help you out… 6K display isn’t in your price range so this KUYCON G34W is a 5K 34” display.. and ill sum up the specs… This monitor is a 5K LG CORE panel that is only 500 nits vs 1600 nits the XDR has and one PERK is this Monitor has a HDMI input minus the Honey Comb back panel. I own both displays and have no Regrets.. I own the exact one this CZcams content creator is displaying with the NANO texture and the adjustable stand.
It needs Oled & ProMotion. End
if i where a richman
it makes no sense to buy this monitor. I had one and I sold it for half of its price. It's a bargain.
Lol that would pretty much be the only way to buy these sort of apple products. Find someone who bought it and didnt like it.
Perfect I’ll be on the lookout for people who sold it for half the price like you😂
the nano sucks, I prefer glossy
I wish it really did suck for that price. Joking aside, I agree that glossy is nicer.
theres so many mini led monitor today with 1156zone doble de dimming zone of xdr display and even oled
Do they also have 6k and a nano coated surface?
Who needs 6K and for what?!
@@akyhne once you‘re used to retina screens like the 5k on a Aplle studio monitor, 4k looks grainy and coarse, even at 27“, let alone larger screens like 32“. More is just better here.
@@bernios3446 I asked who this is for! You can't use it for pro video color grading. It's not even close to being good enough.
It's a content consumer monitor, nothing else. And a proper Oled TV is better at this.
@@akyhne Great, so buy that TV... I am very (!) happy with the studio monitor, doing photo editing all the time.
excessive
no you shouldn't
I kinda wish Apple make iMac Pro with XDR display… but that’s definitely not gonna happen
I don't mean to make you feel bad about your purchase, and I'm happy that it works great for you.
This display is mostly for those people who are super rich and simply like the aesthetic, it is objectively a bad deal price wise, you can buy an m3 max macbook pro with 2tb of storage for this money and STILL have a display with better technology than this (albeit smaller.)
Or even you can buy an m3 max macbook pro with 1tb of storage and a 42 inch 4k 120hz LG OLED 10bit native display which blows this out of the water tech wise, so two better displays and a computer and you're still under budget of a new one of these and bang on with a used one.
Oh absolutely. It's a dumb purchase.
imagine paying that much money for a 60hz display ... i'd die looking at my jagged mouse in 6K
An absolute waste of money. Just having to pay 1000$ for the stand is ridiculous. And I speak from experience: I had it! and doesn't worth it.
iSheeps always find a way to justify their Apple Purchase
Well, you should give me that amount of money so that I can buy ProDisplay XDR in 2024.😆
