Mac external displays for designers and developers have seen little change since 2016. Apple re-entered the display market in 2019 with the costly Pro Display XDR.

Key factors for choosing a Mac display include pixel density, color space, bit depth, brightness, local dimming, HDR, refresh rate, and color accuracy settings.
