Apple Pro Display XDR

I've had mine for about 3 years and while the initial investment sucked, I still love it and feel like it's been worth the price. Amazing display.

[...] Now I use it 2-3x weekly at home for the entire day. [...] Add a decent carrying case (not the Apple one), Apple keyboard and trackpad - call it $5,000 total. How is that any different from someone buying an Apple Pro Display XDR

I had my Apple Pro Display XDR stolen from the office in Lisbon, Portugal. [...] A few days later the signal went offline. [...] I don’t know what happened to my Apple Pro Display XDR, but if you ever see one for sale in Portugal please send me a message :D BTW, interesting side story: They didn’t just steal my display and headphones, but also many computers from other offices. [...]

[...] Two Apple products have however totally changed my life style: the Apple Watch lets me comfortably function in the world while having no other digital device with me: perfect for quick calls, messaging, checking calendar, etc. [...] I have an Apple Pro Display XDR monitor that pairs perfectly with a modern iPad Pro. [...] EDIT: it is true that a good iPad Pro and an Apple Pro Display XDR together cost about $9000 and as spectacular as watching movies on this combination is, apparently the Vision Pro for $3500 is better, the iPad Pro and Pro Display XDR also have other excellent functionality.

I bought my second Pro Display XDR yesterday, on eBAY, since Apple no longer sells them (as of March 6, 2026 it has been discontinued and I don't think the 32-inch is coming back). I have LOVED the one I use at home since I bought it in 2020. The only reason I did not have one at work is that it requires an additional camera/mic and speaker. At work I eventually got a Studio Display with built-in camera/mic and speaker, which is perfect for Zoom and Teams calls etc. However, I still pined for the Pro Display experience. When they came out with the Studio Display XDR, I had the false hope that it was a 32-inch display. [...] So I decided to go crazy and get the Pro Display. While you can't do a simple daisy chain with the old Studio Display (only one port on each display), I plan to connect the two displays to a hub with an external power source and use the Pro Display for most things but switch to the Studio Display on the side for calls. [...]

i bought the pro display xdr when it launched and have been using it ever since. Im a professional animator and a good xdr display cost more than 15k, to a non professional i understand spending 5k on a 60hz monitor is absolutely insane and it is if ur not a creative professional it is insane, the pro display xdr is probably the first time i bought an apple product soo quickly because it was an ABSOLUTE STEAL!!

[...] I've had mine for about 2 years. [...] Absolutely love it and it was more than worth the price from a business perspective.

To demonstrate some contrast (heh) with another data point from someone closer to the other extreme, I’ve owned a very HDR-capable monitor (the Apple Pro Display XDR) since 2020, so that’s 5 years now. Content that takes full advantage of it is still rare, but it’s getting better slowly over time.

I bought one too, about a 1 1/2 years ago. Hemmed and hawed about it for a few years but pulled the trigger and have been extremely satisfied with my decision ever since.
