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/
In defense of the “new” Studio Display

When Apple announced the “revision” to its Studio Display last week, I—among others—did a bit of a Spock eyebrow raise. That new tag was doing a lot of heavy lifting: aside from a revam…

Of course, I am also the person who still has a 1080p TV in their living room and is plenty happy with it.

@dmoren is there not a Costco nearby? I mean, you just had a kid a few years ago; you joined then for diapers, right?

@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!

@waltman @dmoren @Drwave I’m not sure. I thought I *had* to configure it to be online, then I guess I misconfigured it, and, unlike the Vizio, it only balks when I go to its configuration interface and try to do something that requires the internet. Which I can generally do without.
