just buy this instead

dell p2715q

>>57322103
Dell buy the same panels and have better stands that can do shit. Apple monitors are for show in "classy" boutiques.

>W10
dropped

>>57322404
just don't run w10 on it?

>>57322424
Then it won't work. It was literally designed for Win10

>why the fuck did Apple stop selling this screen?
Because Thunderbolt 1 and 2 are old hat, and 1440p is long in the tooth.
They shifted more of the design back to the panel OEM, the new LG UltraFine or whatever.

Because they only sold 10 a year at 200% of the competition's pricing

Putting the LG logo on "their" new monitors makes no sense at all.
I wonder what made them make that decision.

open it up, there should be some.
being able to control the brightness within macOS should need some Apple controller.

that top bezel is the most disgusting thing i've ever seen

That was a full retard move.

Yes, there's no money in the display biz but that was never the point. Apple took premium displays, tacked a bit of aluminum and tacked a few hundred quid on the price (which barely makes the overhead for this nonsense) and sold it.

The bean counter Tim Cook looked at it and said "oy vey, we're not making money off this goys" and dropped it.

Thing is, making money was never the point with these displays. It was to put the Apple logo up and front in every design studio, fancy office, places where people aspired to be. Now they lost that.

What the fuck are you talking about. You can run macOS on this thing with little to no effort.

Apple display was cut very late. We have rumors of it that are only 2 months old. And, Sierra already got full eGPU support due to the new Apple display with a eGPU.

So development cost was already spent.
Releasing it would not cost any more new money but bring in the margins.

That's the followup, Apple claims to have helped develop it.

>Buying electronics from goldstar

>>57322103
No need to make monitors if they're killing off the pro and mini.

Their product line of computers will be:

Macbook pro - touch bar edition
Macbook pro - 'student' edition
Macbook pro - fashion accessory edition
Macbook pro - big screen edition

Apple is truly fucked that would have been a genuinely innovative product.

>>57325529
Wow. That's actually sad.

>>57322103

Same reason they got out of printers.
They sell stuff they believe that the marketplace doesn't make as well as they can.
Once the market matures and the OEMs build good enough stuff with Mac drivers there's no need for Apple to keep turning out low-margin stuff that's basically a distraction from their core business.
