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?

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

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?

So many LED backlights, super high refresh, you know, fancy OLEDs with fancy pixel structures.

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.

676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

Mac users are probably willing to pay what seem like astronomical prices because it's still cheaper than Apple's monitors.
