Dough, the company formerly known as Eve, has announced the Spectrum One, a 27-inch, 4K display that should be of interest to MacBook Pro users like me.
Why? It supports the 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate, something even Apple’s US$1,599 Studio Pro doesn’t do.
ProMotion displays are also adaptive; they can change their refresh rates to suit whatever it is you’re doing. While playing a game you might use the full refresh rate of 120Hz for smooth gameplay; however, if you’re simply staring at a static screen then the iMac could reduce the refresh rate appropriately.
Here are the specs for the Spectrum One, as listed by Dough:
- 27-inch display (nano IPS Oxide TFT LCD)
- 4K – 3840 x 2160 resolution (163 PPI)
- 16:9 aspect ratio

- Brightness: 450 typical, 750 nits HDR peak
