I think you maybe did not intend to, but you really nailed a section of the target market.

It’s 6016x3384
Not quite wide enough for Arri Alexa 65; nor Red Dragon 6K S35; nor even Sony Venice 6K.

It will, however, leave room for toolbars and palettes and timelines when editing some of the 4-5k formats.
Prosers?

Or people who really believe in the “super powers” of their shitty consumer grade hardware. The audio segment is really full of that kind of devices. Not sure whom exactly ActuallyARegular meant but I’ve met plenty of people who bought crap like a once respectable vendors’ actual pseudo-professional USB interface with “analogue” meters and would strictly believe they could compare with DSP based cards worth €500 and up. Hell, if I just think of all the bullshit Creative used to tell their victims - really hideous stuff like naming their lousy PCMs "DSP"s for digital sound processor or their “1024bit” audio-cards I can hardly blame the buyers. It’s really close to fraud what some vendors use to do.
You … do know what the word category means, right?
You … do understand that I can point to it and talk about it as though it were one, just as you are literally doing right now?
Huh? Now I am really confused. What am I supposed to say to this?
Express my undying hate for Apple? What good does that do?
Ok, so you have no idea that I work in visual arts, and am a designer, artist, painter, illustrator &c. Gotcha. So: I find it helps. It’s like a realtime form of soft proofing, a thing you do before you run a real proof. Or run a print. I have spotted problems in my images better with these displays than others.
If you have a mileage, it might vary. But if you argue it has no practicality, no use case, no reason, or if it’s weird, well, I have apparently troubling news for you.
In the early 1990s, I once had an argument with someone who claimed that I didn’t need 24 bit color because displays at the time were incapable of displaying that many colors at once.
I often found that person exhausting.
True story.
All of which apparently came from the forehead of Zeus. Maybe I’ll just use what I like, and call it good.
I guess I’m starting to get snarky, which probably means I should be done.
Also funny: to see people who had complained vocally about Apple’s lack of truly “pro” gear denouncing it when it finally came along, because it was too pro.
That’s the problem though–they are selling non-pro gear at absolute top-end prices. That’s what people are pissed about and they aren’t wrong. Don’t try to sell me a “just as good as reference spec” monitor that isn’t. It isn’t, and when the things hit the market and people identify the panel manufacturer, Apple will again be pressed to explain just exactly what special sauce they’ve supposedly imbued someone else’s hardware with to make it better than the sum of its parts.
It’s not in contrast to, but in line with the predatory lending practices of their credit provider. It’s all grossly inflated, and much of the things that are technically unique are also practically worthless.
