And film editors, and professional musicians, and just about anyone who needs a proper view during their work. If we then look at the fact that there are also up to three Pro Display XDRs and one 4K TV, these are really generous options. After all, the 13" MacBook Pro allows you to connect only one Pro Display XDR. 

Yes, an ordinary mortal who does not earn a living working with a computer will certainly not buy the Pro Display XDR at the price of CZK 140. He most likely won't even buy new MacBook Pros, because a MacBook Air with an M1 chip will be enough for him at half the price, which is still quite high compared to competing solutions. However, compatibility with this display is not the preserve of M1 chips. Apple introduced it in 2019, and of course we knew absolutely nothing about its new generation of chips.

Great view 

Already at that time, of course, he had to support some devices in order to be able to fulfill his purpose at all. But there weren't many of them and to this day they have only grown by a few models. Pro Display XDR is compatible with the following Mac models running macOS Catalina 10.15.2 or later: 

  • Mac Pro (2019) with GPU on MPX Module 
  • 15-inch MacBook Pro (2018 or later) 
  • 16-inch MacBook Pro (2019) 
  • 13-inch MacBook Pro with four Thunderbolt 3 ports (2020) 
  • 13-inch MacBook Pro with M1 chip (2020) 
  • Macbook Air (2020) 
  • MacBook Air with M1 chip (2020) 
  • 27-inch iMac (2019 or newer) 
  • 21,5-inch iMac (2019) 
  • Mac mini with M1 chip (2020) 
  • Any Mac model with Thunderbolt 3 ports in conjunction with a Blackmagic eGPU or Blackmagic eGPU Pro 

In contrast to the fact that last year's 13" MacBook Pro with an M1 chip can fit only one Pro Display XDR, and that, for example, the desktop work monster Mac Pro can handle 6 of them, the 16" MacBook Pro still has the three pieces with the possibility of connecting another display through HDMI a generous gift from Apple to its professional minded users. Although we are talking about the Apple solution here, of course you can also connect displays from third-party manufacturers. Nevertheless, the Pro Display XDR presents a kind of benchmark here, with regard to its qualities and, of course, the price.
