Ask HN: Reasonably Priced Alternatives to Apple Pro Display XDR?
I know Apple are comparing the display to studio displays ...etc but is there a "PC" display that comes close for a more reasonable price?
- KiDD 7y agono. It is actually a good value for the specs.
- biosed 7y agoFair enough.
- nextos 7y agoDepends on your definition of PC display. Apple Pro XDR is a really high end device. Eizo, NEC and Dell UltraSharp are the usual suspects for high quality displays, including some exotic offerings like 1:1 aspect ratios, panels for radiology, air traffic control, etc. For programming, I totally miss 16:10 2K displays (2560x1600), which allow splitting the screen in two windows that are ample enough for long text lines and have an aspect ratio that is close to an A4 paper (sqrt(2)). Sadly, 16:10 are getting discontinued. I totally hate 16:9. Not even LG for Apple are 16:10, despite the ridiculous price. But Apple Pro XDR is obviously not a display for programmers, so none of my comment is really a comparison to it.
