With Apple recently dropping the 27-inch Studio Display XDR with 120Hz ProMotion and Thunderbolt 5, they officially discontinued the old 32-inch Pro Display XDR. Don’t get me wrong, the new 27" mini-LED panel looks incredible, but for those of us who genuinely need or prefer that extra 32-inch screen real estate, it leaves a massive gap in the lineup.

I’m really hoping Apple is working on a true 32-inch 6K ProMotion (120Hz) display to properly fill that high-end pro space. Now that we finally have Thunderbolt 5 bandwidth to actually drive 6K at 120Hz natively without aggressive compression, the technical limitations are basically gone.
How realistic do you think it is that we’ll see a 32" 6K 120Hz Apple display within the next 2 to 3 years?
If they do release one, my personal price prediction for here in Europe would easily be between 6500,00 €(incl Vat) to 7500,00 €

What do you think?

I’ve been testing the Apple Studio XDR Display for a few days now, running WoW TBC on macOS—the image quality is great, but whether with or without VRR, I’ve noticed that the grass flickers quite a bit when moving, especially in areas with a lot of vegetation (like the forests of Terrokkar). Is this due to local dimming and the MiniLEDs?

In any case, it bothers me a lot; I see the same thing on Windows 11 with a USB-C to DisplayPort cable.

Tested on macOS with an M3 Max and on Windows 11 with a 5090.

The display is currently running the latest firmware.

When will we finally get a 27-inch 5K OLED monitor or a 32-inch 6K model?

I tested the Apple Studio XDR a few days ago and I love the sharpness of 5K on a 27-inch screen, but unfortunately the display flickered and shimmered, especially during games with lots of vegetation and grass—probably due to local dimming or dithering; I’m not sure, but in any case, it’s a no go for me.

Hence the question and the wish for OLED monitors in this resolution and quality that would be just great for me.
