WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

Apple Studio Display XDR

What it brings

What to check

  • Refresh rates depend on the connected host and required software. Separately purchased stands and unlisted measurements remain unspecified.

ViewSonic ColorPro VP2788-5K

What it brings

  • Thunderbolt 4 upstream carries video, data and up to 100 W of charging over one cable, and the Thunderbolt 4 downstream port can daisy-chain up to two 5K displays.
  • At 5120 × 2880 on 27 inches the pixel pitch is 0.117 mm (218 PPI), which ViewSonic says makes text easier to read, with typical figures of 99% DCI-P3 and 100% sRGB coverage from a 10-bit (8-bit + FRC) panel.
  • The stand offers 120 mm of height travel, −5° to 22° tilt, ±30° swivel and 90° pivot each way, and a USB-A/USB-C hub, two 5 W speakers and a woofer are built in.

What to check

  • The refresh rate is 75 Hz on the UK specification and 60 Hz on the US page, and ViewSonic names no adaptive-sync technology, certification or variable-refresh range for its Adaptive Sync gaming modes.
  • There is no headphone jack in the connector list, and power comes from an external adaptor.
  • ViewSonic’s UK and US pages give different refresh-rate and response-time figures for this model: 75 Hz and 5 ms on the UK page, 60 Hz and 14 ms on the US page.
