![]() ![]() I will say however that even though I didn’t opt for the +$1,000 matte option, this “glossy” option is very much not glossy. The glare is unbelievably low and makes my iMac Pro look like a mirror. I hope Apple brings this across the entire Mac lineup. I, for one, am glad that Apple doesn’t include the Pro Stand in the price of the ProDisplay XDR (as many have said Apple should have done) because I don’t think it’s actually a very great stand and anybody buying the monitor should VESA mount it instead. Tilt doesn’t lock to perfect 180 deg and the tilt radius is not even. Tilts way more to the left than to the right. No height adjustability in vertical position sucks. Source is the XDR is exhibiting some serious early signs of. Viewing angles are so bad that you get corner vignetting looking head on. It messes with the light roll off and color even! That’s the most disappointing part to me. PCMag this week published its full review of the Pro Display XDR, doing a deep dive into its color accuracy and HDR capabilities. In a nutshell, PCMag believes that the Pro Display XDR successfully does what it was meant to do, offer up “reference-quality production capabilities” to those who work on Macs. “The Pro Display XDR is a beautifully made, well-designed, hyper-accurate content creation monitor that-say it with me now-‘just works,’” reads the review. Teoh has a great YouTube channel where he reviews displays and TVs, with technical analysis married with more subjective reporting. So when he turned his attention to Pro Display XDR I knew things could get interesting. Pro Display XDR might be costly at $4,999, but it’s a fraction of the cost of Sony’s own reference monitor.Īnd that’s exactly what happened when Teoh compared the display with Sony’s $43,000 monitor.Īt first, you might think that’s unfair. But this is the same monitor Apple called out at WWDC when it first announced Pro Display XDR. And it made a big song and dance about the new screen being “the world’s best pro display”. ![]() So, is it?Īpple was kind enough to lend me a 28-core Mac Pro, decked out with a 2.5GHz Intel Xeon W (turbo boost to 4.4GHz) having a single 38.5MB 元 cache, 1MB L2 cache per core, 384GB of 2933MHz DDR4 ECC memory, a 4TB SSD, and two AMD Radeon Pro Vega II Duo 2x32GB graphics cards (each with two GPUs, for a total of four GPUs). Priced out on Apple’s website, this configuration goes for an eye-popping $31,199 ($10,800 of that is for the GPUs alone). And after just a couple of days of use, it’s nearly transparent to the user.Whereas the iMac Pro tops out at 970 gigaflops with all 18 cores, the Mac Pro surpasses that level with just 13 cores and goes on to top out at 1.5 teraflops on 28 cores. (To work with the program’s address lists and rules or its corpus-the collection of words the Bayesian filter uses to identify spam-you will need to switch to the SpamSieve application.) SpamSieve is easily trained, and if you want to go beyond the basics and configure your own filters or edit your black- and whitelists, it allows you to do so without a lot of bother. I like the fact that SpamSieve mostly works within my e-mail client so I rarely need to muck with a separate application or risk losing e-mail in transit between a spam utility and my e-mail software. It also supports both POP and IMAP e-mail accounts. If you’ve got a few hundred spam and good messages archived in your e-mail client, this helps SpamSieve become acceptably accurate within a matter of minutes rather than the days it can take to train other programs. Unlike other spam utilities I’ve used, SpamSieve lets you train it with groups of selected spam and good e-mail. SpamSieve looks for this header entry and gives messages that include it favorable treatment. Members of the Habeas Safelist can then embed their membership in the headers of e-mail messages they send. This is a service that requires members to pass a rigorous audit of “best practices” to ensure that their services aren’t used for spamming. SpamSieve employs a form of Bayesian filtering and can use the Habeas Safelist. ![]() You can add, subtract, and edit entries in these lists as well as create rules within them. Entries in your Mail, Eudora, or Entourage address book are automatically entered in the whitelist, as are the contacts for mail you accept. It has a blacklist (called a blocklist in the program) as well as a whitelist-mark a message as spam and the sender is sent to the blocklist. Like other spam utilities, SpamSieve uses a variety of techniques for sorting the good mail from bad.
