You did an excellent job on this review. The graphics are particularly notable; they illustrate your key points clearly without being overly ostentatious. I've been using the Vocaster One for the past year and I'm more than happy with it's reliability, 70 db gain, and ease of use. I do all my processing in post, so the DSP software isn't useful for me, although for a new podcaster or a podcaster who doesn't want to do much editing it may be helpful. Best of luck with your new RODECaster Duo.

I am sorry to say, but maybe you never noticed that you are colorblind. Your Yeti is not blue, but red ;-)

You lost me at drill press... Good job, though.

Hello! I bought a RØDE NTH-100 in October 26, 2024. I really hope the issue with the Fit-Lock mechanism has been solved by RØDE engineers. Thank you for the information.

Looking forward to the third video. I had a pair after first release and the locking mechanism completely disintegrated on both sides beyond repair. I got in touch with Rose about it and they essentially said it was my fault that they had no other issues with any other unit that was sold they made so many hoops for me to jump through to try to get #Warrantyrepair done I got frustrated and threw the things away. If they ever improves the locking mechanism, I would buy another pair again just because of comfort and sound quality.

I'm glad to see another video from you here! And looking forward to the next one. I'm not in the market for another pair of headphones -- I mostly use AirPods Max for consumption, and also have the audio technica ath-m30 if I need wired. But I appreciate the deep dive!

What part that you use can you tell me what the name of them please

What a great solution i may do this with my Vocaster one as space is extremely limited in my recording studio (its a sound treated cupboard 😂)

This is a brilliant solution! I love the DIY approach! Of course, it would definitely be easier if these things just had mounts in them from the beginning 😁

Why do people insist on making these videos zoomed out so much ? It’s rediculous and you certainly don’t get my sub

Thank you! Very helpful for my project!

Screenshots are not affected by the display- it captures what the operating system will send to the monitor, but not about how the monitor represents it. Thanks for all the info.

Don, thanks for super informative and entertaining video. Very well edited and put together! I’m a photographer and with the recent updates to Lightroom especially the update last month my Mac Mini 2018 is really struggling. I was going to order a Mac Studio but I think I’m going to wait and keep my fingers crossed that they announce on Monday at the WWDC23 they will be upgrading the Mac Studio to the M2 chip. If they don’t announce an upgrade I’ll need to decide if I should go with the Mac Mini with the M2 Pro chip or the Mac Studio with the M1 Max chip. I guess regardless it will be a big improvement from what I have. Thanks again for the video.

Don, What model Mac Studio do you have. I see quite an impressive setup there.

TSMC man 😂

Thanks for your video. I'm thinking of buying the Studio monitor. The webcam looks ok to me , I guess if I had any opinion it would be that maybe the image could be a little clearer. Its not a deal breaker for me. I'm thinking that Apple may be releasing a new version this year addressing some of the complaints people have made about this one, only problem would be that it will go up in price if that happened.

Thanks for a great video! I appreciate the effort you put into research, and the timeline of analyst + Apple comments. I've been holding out for such a Mac mini Pro, so may be replacing my again 2014 MBP soon. The mini pro is a better fit for me than the Mac Studio (or the mini non-pro...)

who gives a shit about what fucking expensive piece shit tablet apple is going to release next time ?.

Thank you, for creating such a very detailed historical video. Sure that, China or other supply chain issues caused a delay in the launch of these new Mac systems from November 2022 to January 2023. Because, in the USA, no company ever wants to miss out on making money off of a new device, during the holiday season. What was more of a surprise to me was that, Apple introduced a more powerful version of their M2 "mac mini" desktop with four (4) thunderbolt ports. If they had done this with the M1 "mac mini" models, Apple, Inc. would already have an extra $2,000 of my money (smile...smile).

You deserved a million subs!

Iphone 14 pro 👍

you are a legend Don

webcam looks terrible so much..looks both bad cams improve noise but the yeti is much better then studio sound

studio display is amazing but the cam quality is so disappointing as its worse quality then my imac cam from 2011

No Bull from Don Bull...ock! 🐂👍 Thank you, REALLY useful video mate. 🇬🇧🏆

Thank you for the update concerning the web cam issue on the ASD, Mr. Bullock. I'm really hoping that Apple has another update planned, for the days when I plan to purchase my own Studio Display are hopefully getting shorter and shorter. It really is somewhat baffling how Apple missed this rather large issue! Definitely a blemish and bad look (pun intended😅). I hold out great hope that they get the bugs ironed out and get this camera issue fixed! Wishing you, your wife and family and all your viewers a very happy and safe holiday season! Warmest regards!

Hello, Mr. Bullock! I came across your fine video recently, as I am considering replacing my 2017 iMac with a new Mac Studio/Studio Display combo. It does seem like there was indeed some improvement made. It does look better than what my iMac shows currently. I hope they continue tweaking it. I am new to your channel, and look forward to checking out some of your previous videos as well. Thanks so much!

At least now that Ventura is out, you should be able to use your I-Phone's camera with the Continuity Camera feature in Ventura. Looks like you got a really great setup, as a substitute for a larger I-Mac that Apple has not come out with at this time. I would have gone that route, but I already got the 16-inch MacBook Pro M1 Max, and I can mirror it to my LG 55-nch TV smart TV that also has Apple TV with various other options including KZbin with is what I am watching this video on, but I am using my computer to type this comment with. I am an Apple Fan, but I know they are not perfect, but sure come out with many nicely made products. I still have my I-Pod Classic, which was a Christmas present many years ago, and I also got an I-Tunes gift card which I got into I-Tunes, which is still I-Tunes for Windows users and Apple Music on the Apple devices.

Excellent advice

Thank you. My 2013 iMac has been spinning it's beachball a lot and now I'm told by Intuit that the Catalina OS will no longer get security updates from Apple which will require using Turbotax differently. I think it's time to upgrade. Your explanation of 4K and 5K was decisive for me. I'll be going with Studio Display. I also liked how you compared it to the iMac which was very useful to me personally. You also saved me some $$$ by explaining the nano-texture. I think I might get Vesa mount and a 3rd party stand that lets me lower the viewing area lower than my iMac. My neck and my reading glasses might line up better with a lower viewing area.

I appreciated your breakdown on the display and it’s webcam. I think it’s improved, but can be refined. I do think the blur is a little overwhelming n portrait mode, but in a pinch is tolerable.

Awesome tutorial. Thanks man!

When I made this video full screen on my 2014 iMac Retina 5K, the detail on your face was really poor, especially your eyebrows and cheeks. It looks better as 1/4 screen; it seems to have more detail. Then I noticed that the highest quality I could select (for this video) in KZbin was 1080p. So I wonder if that full screen blotchiness is partly from trying to upscale the video to 5K2K and trying to smooth out the pixelation? What's the maximum resolution you can get out of this web cam? For sitting at a desk, Center Stage seems pointless, or even detrimental. I think they would have been better off with a narrower field of view, where they could use all of the pixels for better image quality. They could probably even get away with a lower resolution sensor, and still have better image quality than what they've got now. If they can put multiple cameras in an iPhone, maybe they could put two cameras in the Studio Display (one ultra wide angle for Center Stage, and one wide/normal angle for just sitting right in front of the display). Maybe they should give you a way to manually crop the image when Center Stage is off. And perhaps a way to select how much noise reduction and smoothing? I rarely use a web cam, and it seems like this one would be tolerable for light duty video chatting. I think the tough part about the Studio Display is the price relative to performance. Compare it to the 24-inch iMac M1. The iMac's screen has the same pixel density and almost as much resolution, plus an actual computer you can use, and a web cam with much better video quality, all for the same or lower price. If they offered the 5K display plus the iMac's web cam and speakers, and a few USB ports, for a lower price, I think it would be a clear winner.

Just came upon your site and, I must say this is an excellent overall review of Apple's Studio Display. Thank you, for giving us a "Real" users point of view. In the past, I have always highly recommend Apple monitors for owners of Apple computer systems. Currently, I am still using Apple's 27-inch Cinema LED (none thunderbolt) display which had been paired with my 2010, Mac Mini (the last model with a built-in DVD super-drive) but, is now paired with my used 2014, trash can size "space gray" Mac Pro 8-core/ D700/ 64GB/ 1TB SSD. Since that sometime within the next 24-month period, I will pick-up an Apple desktop with either a M-1 or M-2 processor. Around the same time, I will also be buying a new Apple monitor. However, if buying today this would be the 32-inch XDR display along with its matching stand (smile...smile).

Not being hateful. The monitor creates enough problems that your lighting scheme is not an issue for me. With the center stage and portrait mode off, try just raising your chair or tilt the monitor down if it has that on the stand. Or, don't worry about it. And, fake bokeh on a cheap under developed webcam lens and system is less than smart on Apples' part. I'm done. david.

Thanks for the review! It might finally be time to upgrade the old Xs (and my wife's 8!)...

First time i watched your videos and i love how informative you are, a bit too slow but i know you can do better🥰❤

I bought the same setup than you...Mac studio and apple display and it really worth the price. I'm digital artist and I love this machine.

Thanks for your video. Good luck with your channel. I wondered if you use the default (2x) scaling on the Apple Studio Display and how far from the monitor do you sit?

Thanks for a very informative presentation.

Studio display havé 600 nits SDR, 5k resolution at 218 ppi, all the best on the market for the image quality after the Pro Display HDR.

Very informative and useful, thank you 👌

Another informative video. Clever and creative without the need for Final Cut Pro. Well done.

Don, nice job on the channel and on this video. (I also have a Studio Display and your assessment is spot on) I look forward to more videos from you.

I liked your video. Good job!

I have a Pro Display XDR and I love it. It is the cats melow. I'd like a studio display but I can get by for now. Star

I bought the studio display and the mic doesn’t work and the webcam is just bad. As an Apple user for 10 years, this is poor design. I’m keeping it and may get it replaced, but with wait times as they are, I am just holding tight for now.

cool Video! :)

Great video and good idea for a review. Appreciated.
