@jarrod Maybe I’d feel differently if I was used to a 32-inch 6K display, but I really feel like 27-inch 5K is an ideal size. Not too big, not too small. Might not even use the laptop’s display as a secondary screen anymore!

@jarrod Getting my display up to a more ergonomic height is much, much better. Didn’t realize I’d been holding my neck weird with the other one.

@matt_birchler God have mercy on you that it’s the former. 😬

@calebsexton That’s amazing.

@jarrod Goodness, this thing is bright. Had it at 88% brightness, but I’ve bumped down to 69%. It’s nice. 😏

@jarrod A few other first impressions:

• Speakers are great (especially once you update to macOS 26 so it takes full advantage of them)
• Nano-texture is super effective, but does make the display slightly less sharp. I think I’ll get used to it, but it’s not magic.
• The camera looks good! I was worried it wouldn’t be as nice as my old 1080p one, but I’m happy with it.
• Better, with Center Stage, I can set the display to my preferred height and the camera view reframes itself perfectly. 👌

@jarrod My Dell monitor had a pretty awful refresh rate that made my Mac feel like the mouse was dragging through molasses whenever it was connected. Honestly, it made me actively avoid using my office to get work done.

Jumping to this monitor with its (up to) 120hz makes it feel like my Mac is flying!

@matt_birchler Nice upgrade!

@amit @manton @sod Hey gents, anyone know how I can fix this with the Post Stats plugin? Disabling the Year Recap section does not appear to fix the issue.

@manton Yes! This is exactly what I want!

@marcoarment 🤣

@siracusa Still pretty fun tbh 😆

@jonathanreed Hope Apple TV sticks to its guns on this being standard.

@jarrod (The screen works fine, but audio, the camera, and, I think, the high refresh rate all need macOS 26.)

@rscottjones sure thing. heydingus.net/blog/2022…

@jsonbecker That’s similar to what I’m trying to build.

@matt_birchler Those look pretty great together!

@simonbc I know I would!

@simonbc Seems like a good place to start! Not overwhelming. An ‘automatic’ option to follow the mode of the device?

@manton I expect so too. It’d be more surprising if there wasn’t anything special or new for the Fold. But if prevents iPad-layout apps, they’ve lost the plot. 😝

@manton Replies don’t get blockquote treatment anymore? 🙁

@jarrod Also, can we take a moment to appreciate this excellent description that my shortcut generated for that image’s alt text?

> Side-by-side comparison of two laptops in three different views. The first image displays the closed laptops from the side, showing their thickness and ports. The second image shows them open, viewed from the hinge, highlighting the slim design and profiles. The third image is a further pulled-back perspective of the open laptops, emphasizing their screens and keyboards. One laptop is pink, and the other is blue-gray, both placed on a neutral-colored surface with a plain background.

@kev Big fan of the previous one! 🙋‍♂️

@viticci Haha, I thought the same thing: “Didn’t they already release these?” 😆

@drose Yeah, it’s not great. But we’ll see how it shakes out.
