It runs macOS and those consumer grade computers don't. If the best colorist in the area is working on your film, you give them the tools they ask for.


The color graders here run 10-bit/color HDR monitors that have a wide gamut. Apple doesn't have monitors that support this. (The new one _might_ do the trick; we'll see.) Everyone here doing professional color work is on PCs supplied by Thinkmate. This is standard in Hollywood, too.


Wow, is that really true? Given Apple's popularity among creatives I assumed their top end monitors were HDR10 or better. That's really shocking.


Interesting, thanks for the info! It's probably obvious I don't know anything about filmmaking, audio's my domain.


The new ones aren't great you need a broadcast monitor that will show how things look for broadcast and not a computer.


As others have noted in this thread, the iMac Pro outspecs this unit at a cheaper price.


Not for all configurations, and especially not when using 3rd party expansion and customization options.
