When Razer announced the "mid-2021" Blade 15 Advanced back in May, it seemed like a standard refresh.

When Apple unveiled the Pro Display XDR in June of 2019, I'll admit that I drank the cool-aid in big refreshing gulps. From design to execution, I had every reason to believe that this monitor would change the creative landscape, bringing reference displays in a price range attainable by mere mortals.
