high-end model will move from Intel to Apple silicon

only support up to an 8-bit color depth
The display remains dark when connected to a 2016 MacBook

strange backlight flicker causes noticeable duplications
Too many are simply trying to capitalize on affiliate revenue
the backlight has a strange flicker frequency

the monitor is effectively incompatible with anything without a Thunderbolt 3 port
none of those have P3 color
lack of design and expandability deal-breakers
No Apple display in my memory has had multiple inputs
No way to communicate with the repair tech
No notes no ability to amend a repair ticket
There is no connectivity through DisplayPort or HDMI
backlighting more than pixel failure
not making a shaky cam action movie
choppy performance and a lot of fan noise
it resets to full brightness sometimes
