Beautiful display, about to pick one up this weekend. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@kimzbimz]

love ur new set up!!

[@chawlingtechtests6101]

Nice to see a new video ^_^ enjoy that beautiful screen

[@mintmindy]

more of that very soon!

[@jacob.williams]

lol! I took the exact same path. I even watched the McKinnon video for some inspiration too. It took me a year to finally buy it. Same version. Comes tomorrow. I hope you’re getting on great with it!

[@mintmindy]

Omg ! Yay! So excited for you! You won’t regret it 😍

[@spyharpy]

Great review. I bought two of these to put side by side and WOW!!!

[@mintmindy]

YOU BOUGHT TWO?! Now, that's the dream!

[@silversflow4469]

Not OLED, not mini-LED backlit, no HDR, not even Liquid Retina.. So MacBook and iPad literally have better displays than this I suppose, it’s really not that worth it in 2024 with that price

[@MezameTV]

Yoooo, that is one very sexy monitor. Can't wait to hear your thoughts about it months later. And yes, totally dig Peter McKinnon's minimalist setup. Can understand why you went this route too :D

[@mintmindy]

ahhhh we both love a minimal setup 😍

[@MezameTV]

@@mintmindy I want to do a minimal setup too but a bit hard haha

[@iainrlennox]

Compared to the other monitors you have had, is this really better?

[@pathom5764]

I got my MSI Modern MD271UL from your review. Any thought compare to this Apple studio? Nice review as always Mindy !

[@mintmindy]

Happy to read this comment! I'll update in the upcoming video! stay tuned :)

[@manankhandelwal1182]

I just saw your review for the msi 4k display from 8 months ago and youve posted this 8 days ago. which one you think looks better? just display wise

[@2008topshelf]

At minute @1:52, was it good for you? LOL. Now I know what to get my lady when I screw up.

[@iiias7ik]

Suggestion about your video, - don't use the default background Music. - use a jump-cut to make it short. - sometimes users need to see focused on the subject, please use dual cam. Otherwise everything is good and high quality video. Your energy level is high. Happy Youtubing

[@mintmindy]

thank you for the wonderful feedback! I'm listening :)

[@franksiessa]

Nice video, please can I have the dimensions of the packaging box?

[@mintmindy]

Omg it is huge. I’ve thrown it away. I think you’ve gotta check with Apple for that.

[@faresnimer69]

Beautiful display but take the apple keyboard with Touch ID and apple mouse,your beautiful display need butter keyboard looking😂

[@giorgisvanidze1289]

it's 7,7 KGs, how is that so heavy
