Pro Display XDR is the first 32-inch Retina 6K display that features a 6016 x 3384 resolution, up to 1600 nits of brightness, a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio with a P3 wide color gamut, and a superwide viewing angle.

Set up your Pro Display XDR
Learn how to choose a location for your display, connect your display to Pro Stand or the VESA Mount Adapter, and connect it to your Mac.
Choose a location for your display
Pro Display XDR uses a new True Tone technology with dual ambient light sensors to monitor the lighting around your display. For the best experience using Pro Display XDR, place it in a location where a lamp or other light source won't be directly in front of or behind it. Or, turn off True Tone in System Settings (or System Preferences) > Displays.
If there’s a light source in front of or behind your display and it appears brighter than expected, learn what to do.
Attach Pro Stand or the VESA Mount Adapter
Pro Stand easily attaches to Pro Display XDR through a magnetic connector that locks into place. Learn how to attach Pro Display XDR to Pro Stand.
If you already have a VESA mount, attach the VESA Mount Adapter to use Pro Display XDR in your existing setup. When you use the VESA Mount Adapter with your Pro Display XDR, set up your display so that its screen is facing forward, not parallel to the ground. Never position it facing fully up or fully down, such as from the ceiling. Learn how to attach the VESA Mount Adapter.
Connect your display
Connect the included Thunderbolt 3 Pro Cable (2 m) to the Thunderbolt 3 port on your display and a Thunderbolt 3 port directly on your Mac, not daisy-chained through another Thunderbolt 3 device or hub.
Pro Display XDR doesn't have any buttons and automatically turns on when you plug it into power and connect it to your Mac.
Use reference modes
Pro Display XDR is factory calibrated for professional workflows and includes many reference modes suitable for different production environments. Learn how to choose reference modes and set your favorites.
