Apple has officially discontinued the Mac Pro, and by extension, the $700 Mac Pro Wheels Kit is also dead. Yes, that sentence is still funny in 2026. It marks the end of one of the company’s most infamous desktop add-ons. For anyone who somehow missed this saga, the Wheels Kit launched back in 2020 as an upgrade for the Mac Pro.

Ambient light reflecting off the screen can wash out those blacks, but Samsung now has a solution. How is Samsung fixing reflections and washed-out blacks on QD-OLED monitors?
