The XDR boasts 6K, while the Asus is a 4K monitor; however, only the 2019 Mac Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro can run the XDR at full 6K resolution. Both the Asus and the Apple are true 10-bit displays.

Apple claims 500 nits for their display in SDR mode and 1,000 nits sustained and 1,600 nits peak brightness in HDR mode. The Asus can deliver anywhere from 620-656 nits in SDR and from 1,400-1,534 nits maximum brightness in HDR, depending on which reviewer you read.

The Pro Display XDR has 576 local dimming zones, whereas the Asus has 1,152.

On his YouTube channel, Marques Brownlee says his Pro Display XDR is virtually silent, while the Asus is supposed to get quite noisy.

According to Asus, the maximum viewing angle of the PA32UCX-K is 178 degrees in the horizontal and vertical (Apple claims 180 degree viewing angle for the XDR), and according to tests, hue, saturation, brightness, contrast and color temperature remain virtually unchanged even at extreme viewing angles. I expect Apple’s display will be no slouch in this department either.

As far as connectivity goes, Apple’s monitor has one TB3 port and three USB-C ports. The Asus comes with dual TB3 ports, one DisplayPort and three HDMI 2.0 ports.

The Apple Pro Display XDR runs $6,500 in the USA when purchased with stand and AppleCare+. Throw in the nano-texture glass option and that figure skyrockets to $7,500.00. In Vietnam, the ProArt 32UCX-K costs half as much ($3,300.00) and comes with stand, a three-year warranty and an X-Rite i1 Display Pro colorimeter (value $250.00 in USA, $325 in VN). With the Asus, you will however have to factor in another grand for Blackmagic’s UltraStudio 4K Mini. Ouch!

Here's a PV report on how to create 3D composites at 4K quality using a tool chain consisting of 'free to use' or low cost tools:

I'm shooting 4K with the GH4 for all the benefits including punch in, pans, etc. Final output is 1080p. Occasionally I'll mix in some HD footage.

The last project I did was 6.5 mins, but much to my surprise was really dragging down my computer. I wonder if some of you with more experience can suggest a better workflow. I'm hoping to avoid buying a new computer for another year, but will do what I must when I can. Here's what I'm working with:

Premiere Pro CC iMac (Retina 5K, 27 inch, Late 2014) 3.5 GHz Intel Core i5 16 GB 1600 MGz DDR3 AMD Radeon R9 M290X 2048 MB

To create a sequence, I've simply dragged the the first 4k clip to the timeline and let Premiere handle the settings accordingly. I edit, then export as HD.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts and advice!

will this setup handle raw (red raw from scarlet-x) edit and full res playback in premiere pro cc or fcpx ? anybody using same or similiar setup ?

thank you

Google has been trouncing Apple in smartphones and its share price has gone up 60% in 12 months. and it's now valued at 300 billion dollars. Apple is still a bit bigger at 394 billion but Google is catching up fast.

I'm selling an Apple wireless keyboard. This is the current model being sold by Apple (model number MC184LL/B). I bought this from the Apple Store a few months back, but after a few days I didn't like it versus the old keyboard, so it's been sitting in its box. This is basically a new in box unit, other than the fact that it was used for a few days, then put it back in the box. It's in perfect condition. Cost is $49 and that includes shipping in the US. (They sell for $69 at Apple Store.)

Thanks, Matt

I am selling my iPad Gen 3 32GB White.

Comes as new with no cosmetic signs of wear and tear It has been inside case and screen protector ever since I bought it. I will also leave on my Moshi iVisor bubble free Anti Glare / Anti finger print screen protector. (Rrp 25GBP)

Only selling because I prefer to use my iPad mini.

150 GBP

Cheers

I am selling my fully loaded MacBook Pro Retina. It has all the updates available at the time I purchased it such as fast processor (2.7GHz turbo boost to 3,7GHz), 16GB Ram and 512 SSD. It comes boxed as new with all the original packaging. It is in perfect working order and looks brand new. Since the day I bought it it has had a rubberized case on, a Moshi keyboard protector, Moshi trackpad protector and Moshi palm rest protector on. I can leave these on for you or remove them. I bought the laptop in Korea so as well as the normal western alphabet there is also the bonus of korean symbols on.

It works flawlessly with video production or graphic design. I run Davinci Resolve on it and also the whole Adobe Creative Cloud as well as FCPx.

I am only selling because I recently upgraded to an iMac 5k so I have no need for a laptop anymore.

I am also throwing in a Hyperdrive with 128gb micro sd card. This fits in the SD card slot flush and provides additional 128gb storage. perfect for documents or storing movies on leaving the SSD available for more intense applications.

I am selling for 1400GBP. I will post via Hong Kong Post or DHL via express and trackable method with insurance.

Email me directly if you have any further questions. (stuart.howe@gmail.com)

Retina Display 15.4" (2880x1800) i7 2.7Ghz (Turbo Boost to 3.7Ghz) 16GB of 1600Mhz DDR memory 512GB SSD Intel HD Graphics Nvidia Geforce GT 650m with 1GB DDR5 memory 720p FaceTime HD Camera

I really can't find any faults as far as specs, performance, or battery life. Only thing left is to see the screen in person. Is there anything else with similar or better specs at a similar price ($1299 USD w/1800p display + 512GB SSD) that can compare? I'd rather not go back to Apple, as the only reason I bought the rMBP 15 was for the hardware, and I haven't warmed up to OS X or the gimped flavor of Windows run in Parallels and Boot Camp.

Both are late to the party. We'll see Apple sales quickly shrining next months.

iPhone 6 even lacks optical stabilization.

• Both can do 1080p60 (in the times where almost all top phones do 4K).
• 720p240
• F2.2 lenses

Hope you like it!

Discontinued 17" laptops. No new Imacs (yet).

I like the new MBP w/Retina. (w/Ivy Bridge) MacPro is a minor update. No USB3/Thunderbolt. Was hoping to see new Imacs.

When using my Sandisk 64GB 95Mbps card and Macbook Pro I get error code 36 when trying to copy MTS files to the desktop. It's very temperamental and I haven't been able to fix it. It works fine if I use a USB card reader. The only issue is when I'm using OS X and the in built reader. Ironically the in built reader works fine when I boot into a Windows bootcamp so I believe the problem lies within OS X. Has anyone else got the same combination and have the same issue? I also get this issue with the 8GB version of this card. I've tried formatting both within camera and software.

The only way I'm able to really copy files from my card is to keep taking it out and putting it back in until it eventually copies over completely.

"As of March 1, 2013, Apple will no longer sell Mac Pro in EU, EU candidate and EFTA countries because these systems are not compliant with Amendment 1 of regulation IEC 60950-1, Second Edition which becomes effective on this date. Apple resellers can continue to sell any remaining inventory of Mac Pro after March 1,"

"The Mac Pro met the previous standards prior to the amendment 1 addition. Obviously it's a very safe and very reliable product," added the company.

At issue are the large fans within the Mac Pro. Since they are unprotected, it would be possible to touch the fan blades.

"The new requirements necessitate fan guards and some increased protection on the ports on the electrical system," explained Apple.

Another nail in the Mac Pro coffin.

47.8 million iPhones sold in Q1 of 2013 represents a new high water mark

iPhones and iPads -- the latter of which sold 22.9 million units during the quarter, up from 15.4 million a year ago and 14 million last quarter.

Yet shares dropped 10% after announcment.

In Q4 2012 (I mean here actual qurter, for Apple it is Q1 2013) Apple had all kinds of problems.
Hence they use famous Nokia techniques on artifically boosting sales figures.
They use intermediates and push as much items as possible just storing them, making good numbers in reports (but not good enough still).
Reports starting from late 2012 and first month of 2013 showed that Apple removes orders accross most partners, so they could sell big existing stock.

I created three walls in Apple motion, then added a camera and a light. Once I could see the spotlighted area I used a ring with a thick border to act as the control over the detection area.

Anyway the results are about 20 seconds into this video:

Price: Mac2sell suggests the after market price for this unit is $1,640. That's a little steep, but I'm looking to get between $1,400 and $1,500 OBO + shipping (usually under $50 within North America. Overseas things get pricey real quick).

Specs: -OSX Lion 10.7.4 -2.8ghz i5 Quadcore Processor -16GB of RAM -1TB Hard Drive -ATI Radeon HD 5750 graphics card w/1GB RAM -Bluetooth, 802.11g/n WiFi, FaceTime Camera -Wireless Keyboard, and Magic Mouse -Original Box and Packaging included
