Friends, Mac users, Mastodonians, lend me your ears: I come not to bury the Studio Display, but to praise it! https://sixcolors.com/post/2026/03/in-defense-of-the-new-studio-display/

@glennf @Drwave Ignorance is bliss! This TV is almost twelve years old and you know what it doesn’t have? Some terrible “OS” janking it up.

@dmoren @Drwave I was worried about the LG. However, I managed to misconfigure it so it can't hit the internet, and I’m shocked at how non-smart it is in a good way. We use it as a dumb display, and it works great. I had a Visio before this and was deeply unhappy with how invasive it could be, data-scavenging aside!

@glennf @dmoren @Drwave I use a pair of LGs for work-I literally haul around 2 48” OLEDs-and they have never been online.

And oh the praise they get for image quality. From directors of photography (who are notably opinionated)

Comically my own tv is not an OLED. those live in the garage to go to set.
