Honestly, I don't think it is worth it. There are other monitors out there that has better real estate but I have seen a friend of mine sell two of his 34" ultrawide for this monitor. For his work, it makes sense where colour accuracy and all is a must.

True, I also sell my other monitors to have similar DPI and color accuracy with my MacBook. Bought 3 Studio Displays instead.

May I ask - what do you do with 3 Studio Displays? Is it mainly to trade stocks?

I am hesitant to buy the Studio Display because there is only 1 year warranty and you cannot buy AppleCare to extend warranty to 3 years.....

Thanks in advance for info.

Actually there’s a workaround for this. Just need to purchase it using a credit card of country that support studio display Apple care plans and it should work. In my case I seek help from a friend in uk to help complete the purchase. Once done, the warranty is covered internationally 😎

£119. If you choose Singapore, you’ll pay $219 for 3 yrs warranty.
One thing distinct is for the displays you are only given 60 days to decide if you want the AppleCare+ unlike Macs you can extend it within the 1 year period.

Yea, that is true. I've even tried to made several complaints to Apple SEA on their decision of not selling Apple Care for my Studio Display, all they said its policies and no reasonable explanation given.

Get someone from oversea to buy for me was an option too initially when i made a complaint. But after customer service escalated to SEA Warranty Admin team, i was told that even though i can do that, when i need to claim warranty has to ship it to the country the Apple Care was issued. Sending to local Apple reseller service centre and they will not be able to process that.

End up, no Apple Care was purchased for my Studio Display sad.gif

I was told it's not, but it's better for you to call Apple Malaysia and ask about it and get it written in black and white. Do keep me posted ya smile.gif

Apple Store (online) - 1 week wait
Machines - 3 months wait + pay upfront
Switch - 1-2 months wait
i Store - Ready stock

Shame on the official Apple Premium distributor who doesn't carry ready stock.
