Apple has since tweaked the glasses to replace 120Hz with 60Hz . The 8 K reference remains . To clarify , the four - port fashion model on the new iMac supports full aboriginal solution on the build - in presentation at 1 billion colors and up to two external display with up to 6 KB resolution at 60Hz , or one extraneous display with up to 8 grand firmness of purpose at 60Hz .
That ’s a overnice upgrade from the previous single external display bread and butter ( up to 6K/60Hz ) on the M1 and M3 iMac and Apple ’s other Macs .

So , could this 8K/120Hz support by the M4 iMac be a sign of the zodiac that Apple is planning to turn a new display ? Considering that the Pro Display XDR will be six years sometime in December , it ’s due for an update–60Hz for a professional display is ludicrous , not to mention that the Pro Display XDR does not have a camera . The Apple Studio Display was released two year ago and is probably not give way to be updated ; it would continue the “ affordable ” choice to a young Pro Display XDR ( if they call it that ) .
Apple is rumour to be establish afresh redesigned Mac minithis week , which is offered as a infrastructure M - series model and a modeling with an M - serial Pro chip . If the M4 can run one 8K/120Hz display , you may bet the M4 Pro can too and belike more . So the new M4 Pro Mac mini release seems like a good time to release a young 8 K Pro Display XDR with a variable refresh rate up to 120Hz . Will it happen ? We ’ll determine out sometime in the next two days .
