And if you want to go all out, you can spend another $300 for the Nano-texture glass.

Spend an extra $400, and you can upgrade to a nicer stand with a height adjustment mechanism similar to the one you found on the Pro Display XDR, albeit without any rotation.

That will get you the standard glass version with either a tilt-adjustable stand or a VESA mount.

even if that money is being spent on features that most creatives could live without.Īll of the variations use the same 5K 27-inch 60Hz IPS LCD panel that promises full coverage of the Display P3 color gamut (DCI-P3 with a D65 white point), for a base price of $1,600. The Apple Studio Display is worth every penny of the $1,600 asking price. The Apple Studio Display comes in a few different flavors depending on your preferred mounting option and whether or not you want Apple's special anti-reflective "Nano-texture" glass. even if that money is being spent on features that most creatives could live without.ĭesign, build and usability| Gamut coverage and color accuracy | Conclusion A monitor that is, in fact, worth every penny of the $1,600 asking price. That's what I consider a 'Studio' quality display.īut I have to grudgingly admit that Apple has created an excellent monitor in the Studio Display. I'd much rather Apple had budgeted the $1,600 differently by swapping the webcam, speakers, and microphones for a miniLED backlight and a true 10-bit panel that covers 98%+ of both DCI-P3 and AdobeRGB. I have a hard time praising the Studio Display because it's not the 'baby Pro Display XDR' that I was hoping Apple would release. On the other hand, it's extremely color accurate, color uniformity is excellent, and if you do own a Mac, it offers a seamless experience previously only available on the much more expensive Pro Display XDR. On the one hand, the price tag is sky-high for a 27-inch 5K panel that 'only' promises coverage of the DCI-P3 gamut and is basically incompatible with Widows. The Studio Display – Apple's new 27-inch, 5K monitor that was released alongside the new Mac Studio desktop – is one of the most difficult displays I've had to review. The Apple Studio Display is an excellent 5K monitor with a bunch of extra features that you won't find in most of the 27-inch monitors on the market.
