Not only does it look but it also acts as a heatsink, reduces the weight and ensure better airflow.

To ensure heat dissipation is done efficiently, Apple created the lattice pattern on the aluminium enclosure. There’s a timing controller (TCON) chip that takes care of reproducing the images by controlling the LED array and the LCD pixels.ĭealing with so many pixels and high-intensity light naturally heats up the display. There are more unique layers in between that reflects, mixes and produces all the appropriate colours for the final output. It’s illuminated with an array of 576 blue LEDs modulated by 12 controllers to ensure the right amount of brightness is delivered instantly. The Pro Display DXR has several layers that lead up to the final picture on the display. It boasts of a “superwide viewing angle” with a different polariser technology while maintaining colour accuracy and contrast. The backlight control implemented on the display ensures high contrast and a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. With about 1,000 nits of brightness possible on the display, Apple says that it can peak to up to 1,600 nits. This indicates that it’s capable of reproducing a wide palette of colours with high accuracy. The display comes with a P3 wide colour gamut and a 10-bit colour depth. Starting with the ‘XDR’ naming, it stands for extreme dynamic range. There are several features and design choices that do point it towards that direction. The company is calling it the “world’s best pro display”. Though he keeps speaking, somewhat obscuring the sound, laughter from the crowd is clearly audible and actually manages to stop the presenter in his tracks for a few moments before finishing his pitch.Apple Pro Display XDR announced at WWDC 2019. Watch the video below to see and hear the crowd reaction when the presenter reveals the price of the stand. Instead, consumers will either have to purchase a $199 VESA mount adapter (a fancy phrase for a wall mount) or the $999 Pro Stand, which Verge dubs “the priciest dongle of all time.” But Mac Pro users will find it difficult to use this display without a stand - one is not provided in the box with the display.

It’s a beautiful display, to be certain, boasting a 6K resolution, up to 1600 nits of brightness, a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and superwide viewing angle. However, as has become tradition with Apple, much of its price points left consumers and tech advocates either in shock or, as you’ll see in the video below, straight up laughing.Īlong with the Mac Pro, Apple announced a separate $4,999 Pro Display XDR. Apple revealed much yesterday in its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, including the “end” of iTunes as we know it, upgrades to the iPad and Apple Watch, and the new $5,999 Mac Pro.
