![]() When I reviewed the 27-inch iMac in 2020, the review unit was outfitted with nano-texture glass, and the glare from my office lights was practically non-existent. If you have punishing lights or technical work that absolutely can’t have glare, Apple offers nano-texture glass, which is a surface similar to what was offered on the 27-inch iMac. The display in this review has the standard semi-glossy glass, and the glare is manageable in typical office lighting. It also has a lower brightness and contrast ratio than the Pro Display XDR, though you won’t notice that as much. Equally important is the display features the Studio Display doesn’t have: HDR (high-dynamic range), a high-refresh-rate, or ProMotion (the ability to adapt the refresh rate based on what’s being displayed). It offers 600 nits of brightness, support for the P3 color gamut, and True Tone. The Studio Display has a native resolution of 5120×2880 at 218 pixels per inch. The tile-adjustment stand comes with the $1,599 model. Prices for the service was not mentioned in the report. So, for example, if you buy the Studio Display with the standard tilt-adjustable stand and then decide later that you want the height- and tilt-adjustable stand, you need to schedule a service appointment and bring the display in. ![]() MacRumors reported that the Studio Display’s stand can be changed after purchase, but it requires service performed by an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. (Keep in mind that the tilt- and height-adjustable stand has a base of 8.1 inches, a bit bigger than the tilt-only stand to properly accommodate the shift in balance when the screen is raised or lowered.)Īpple also sells the Studio Display with a VESA adapter for no extra cost if you’d like to mount it to a wall, use a monitor arm, or have a third-party stand that you prefer. The price tag for the tilt- and height-adjustable stand is a whopping $400 more, raising the price of the Studio Display to cool $1,999. You can also get a stand that provides about four inches of height adjustment but it doesn’t come cheap. The display does not pivot between landscape and portrait modes, like the Pro Display XDR. The Studio Display has a stand that’s tilt-adjustable from -5 degrees downward to +25 degrees upward. It stands out next to your typical PC display that’s usually wrapped in black plastic. ![]() Overall, the Studio Display with its tilt-adjustable stand is 18.8 inches tall, 24.5 inches wide, and 6.6 inches deep. The 27-inch 5K Retina display itself is skinny, measuring 1.2 inches thick, and it has a thin 0.5-inch black bezel. The Studio Display is a quintessential Apple design, with a silver case and stand made of aluminum. The question then is, is the Studio Display worth its price? It comes down to how much you value Apple design, image quality, and a key feature of the built-in camera, Center Stage. ![]() Starting at $1,599, the Studio Display is definitely more affordable than the Pro Display XDR, but it’s still expensive, and there are similar displays available at much lower prices. While it is being marketed very heavily along with the new Mac Studio, it can be used with every Mac Apple sells. The Studio Display is Apple’s entry into the consumer display market. ![]()
