[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1909395, member: 190607"] Most of it is just high quality/high spec. It's a poorly kept secret that Apple doesn't make any of their own displays. They purchased many of their their internal LCD iMac displays from Toshiba and their "Retina" displays from Samsung. Their external displays have traditionally been made by Samsung and occasionally LG. (I haven't checked who makes the just released Apple Studio Display, but my guess is Samsung or LG.) Of course, Apple tells these companies what specs and features that they they want. So technically these displays are "designed by Apple". But in actuality, they are almost always just leveraging the guts of some top-of-the-line displays already in production by some manufacturer and adapting them for their needs. Apple famously says that they "make the entire widget". That is, they make their entire computers themselves, rather than buying off-the-self parts and assembling them like a Windows PC. But that isn't strictly true. Apple buys displays, hard drives, SSD's, RAM DIMMS, etc. from third party suppliers. [/QUOTE]
