Apple has confirmed that its brand-new MacBook Air will work with its Pro Display XDR with up to 6K resolution.
The Cupertino company today announced that its all-new 2020 MacBook Air supports up to a 6K external display for the first time ever, including the Pro Display XDR (via MacRumors).
The Pro Display XDR is a 32-inch 6K LCD that can hit 1,600 nits of peak brightness, with 1,000 nits of sustained brightness from a full-array local dimming backlight composed of 576 special blue LEDs. It supports true 10-bit colour and the full DCI-P3 color gamut, and Apple says that it can hit a million-to-one contrast ratio using certain industry-standard test patterns.
The full list of compatible devices for Apple’s Pro Display XDR is as follows:
- Mac Pro (2019) with MPX Module GPUs
- 15-inch MacBook Pro (2018 or later)
- 16-inch MacBook Pro (2019)
- 21.5-inch iMac (2019)
- 27-inch iMac (2019)
- MacBook Air (2020)
- Any Mac model with Thunderbolt 3 ports paired with Blackmagic eGPU or Blackmagic eGPU Pro
