All this to say that more of these companies are aiming at Mac users with their monitors.
You know, these sort of ProArt ones and other product lines that are not gamery are more likely to, for example, work with the keyboard brightness controls on your Mac
you know, having to run a third party driver, how long will that be supported?
Yada, yada.
But like, there's a, there's sort of a, it seems to be developing a gradient from Apple monitors, which you plug in and will work in theory with everything having to do with Mac OS.
That'll work with the keyboard things that, you know, does that even have a power button?
Like the Mac knows about them.
Like that's at one end.
And at the other end, it's just a gaming monitor that you plug in that the back has no idea what the hell it is.
Hopefully you can get it working right.
And these are kind of in the middle.
Of course, these are a little bit more expensive and they tend not to have the all the fanciest features because those are still on kind of the gaming monitors first.
So many LED backlights, super high refresh, you know, fancy OLEDs with fancy pixel structures.
Give it time.
So more of these will come out.
But I'm glad to see some of these monitor makers realizing that there is a market here to cater to Mac users and also that.
Mac users are probably willing to pay what seem like astronomical prices because it's still cheaper than Apple's monitors.
And speaking of, we live in this amazing age when screens are cheap, not Apple screens.
I'm just saying, like, they are stubbornly going against the tide.
