My Studio Display is also VESA mounted. Same cost.
Now, true, I can’t convert it back to the stand. But I’ve never actually done that with any other TV or monitor I’ve VESA mounted—I just get a pile of stands in my garage.
I think there’s some merit in being able to buy a monitor without a stand, but the fact that the Studio Display fittings are proprietary and non user changeable defeats the purpose.
I’d rather monitor stand fittings be fully standardised on the VESA system, so users could easily pick and choose any stand or arm for their monitor.
I ised to deride them for their rediculous cost and mashup of parts, then I used one at an office I consulted at and a month later I bought myself one…
I’m glad someone else is pushing pixel density and giving Apple competition.
I don’t want 4k27” 300fps OLED or microLED. I just want 5k OLED now.
Yes, I am always disappointed 5K didn’t properly supplant 1440p in the monitor market. 4K at 27" is workable but the scaling can never be as good as 5K would be.
I concur. I have one since they’re available. Nothing compares other than my phone display really. Though the refresh rate could be a little higher (and thus the latency a little lower).
It’s less expensive than the Apple display if you make the Apple display more expensive! Also, it comes with Smart Hub if you want to watch TV on your computer without using your computer to watch TV. Bonus feature: plasticky.
It’s got a metal build like Apple’s Studio Display
And while I don’t think it’s a steal I can’t imagine paying $1,600 for a monitor without height adjustment so I consider it cheaper than Apple’s. It’ll probably go on sale though and be even cheaper knowing Samsung.
