The “XDR” part of the name seems a bit out of place for an Apple product. I guess I’m stuck in the past and Apple is really a different company now.

- djsumdog 7y agoYea, I didn't see any mention of HDR support. Is XDR their rebranding? Will macOS support HDR10 or DolbyHDR when this monitor comes out? Will it be supported on any HDR screen or just this overpriced one? Or does this monitor not have HDR at all? HDR so far only seems supported by Windows, xBox, and PS4. Linux/X11 and Mac still have no HDR support.

- holy_city 7y agoThey talked about it at length. Per the keynote it's 10bit color at 1000 nits/1600 peak which would put it at about Display HDR1000 (but no mention if it's certified, so probably not). It can't support Dolby Vision (requires 12 bit color), which means that it can't replace reference displays for professionals. Also HDR playback has been supported for awhile on MacOS, since high sierra it's been one of those "it just works" features.
