The two big ups for the Studio Display are the webcam and Thunderbolt ports. The price is a bit much. $1200 would be the sweet spot. That being said, I'm rocking a Dell 27" with my 14" MBP and it works beautifully.
I returned the LG UltraFine 27” 5K display back to Apple and purchased the Apple Studio with matching extended keyboard with mouse. I also got it with the regular glass since I feel it looks brighter than the nano etched matte finish. I did anty up $400 more for the really nice stand that raises and lowers it. For me, I had just spent.$1300 to Apple and I really wanted an Apple monitor to match my MacBook Pro 16 I just brought home in Feb 2022. The display on my LG UF was gorgeous compared to some cheaper $590 monitors that I had tried prior. So, I just happen to fall into the right time for the upgraded monitor after so many years of silence from Apple. I justify the price since I want all the bells and whistles Apple gives that is already spoken in this video. I cannot wait to set it up on arrival day and share it with everyone! I like all my stuff to match from stock, I was always that type of person where the look was important as well as the performance. In 1982 I was one of the individuals that purchased the Commodore 64 with matching diskdrive 1541 and matching Commodore Monitor 1702 which had composite cables to beat out RF single and monochrome monitors of that time, it was the beginning of Svideo and Commodore introduced that. So, I was 12 years old loving that type of system in my bedroom, now at the age of 52 I am repeating the look just with Apple and Apple alone products on my desktop. Thanks to all these wonderful replies that talk about how much they love the LG UF and this new Apple Studio display!
@@wolly2891 I was one of the consumers in 1982 that purchased the Commodore Monitor 1702 to match my Commodore 64 rather than use RF switch on a TV, I got Svideo input at the time and matching decor monitor to keyboard system.

Massively overpriced considering that the iMac has had 5K since 2014 and this is just a minor upgrade from the LG ultra fine that has been around for years already. It's okay if those minor upgrades are a big deal to you, but it's still not a true consumer monitor for whom those upgrades don't matter in the slightest.
I still can’t get around the fact that the 24.5 inch iMac is available for 300 dollars less! You even get a Magic Keyboard and a mouse with that Let’s not forget an actual computer! I have a feeling the different stand options which are not interchangeable, led to this high price
"but it's still not a true consumer monitor" - Correct, it isn't and it was never supposed to be. There is no market for a so called consumer monitor made out of an aluminium unibody with Thunderbolt interface as those people want things simple and would buy their cheap iMac. Who really buys displays and computing hardware separate? Gamers, Video-cutters/Designer/Photographers - these are not consumers.
I'd have preferred a 27 inch iMac with the MAX / ULTRA options. It would almost definitely be cheaper than the monitor + Mac Studio (cheapest $3600) and this new setup takes up more space on a desk and involves more wires. Not sure why more people aren't a little bummed about this from a value perspective, since the iMac it's replacing was only $1800 and was an all-in-one solution with the same screen.
I can’t stand iMacs the chin is extremely ugly. This doesn’t replace the iMac, it replaces the Thunderbolt Display which has been discontinued since 2016. Connect a Mac mini if you need a computer.
@@shredder4841 that’s not true. Apple have discontinued the 27 inch iMac (not iMac Pro, but standard 27 inch), on the basis that this + the Mac studio is the replacement. Mac mini does not solve the issue, as the best you can get is an M1, and you still have wires and pay more than what the iMac would have cost. The chin never bothered me, but presumably they would have redesigned it if continuing on with it.
@@Levi-wz7pu Apple has never said that this is the replacement, they just stopped selling the 27” iMac. I would bet there is a good chance that size is reintroduced at a later time.
The reason why it doesn't support daisy chaining with another 5k display is a limitation of Thunderbolt 3/4. It doesn't support that much bandwidth over a single thunderbolt port on the computer. It's the same reason why it doesn't support 5K at 120hz.
I still have the thunderbolt 2 display and have a hard time find a replacement. I just kept coming back to it. My 2nd monitor is the 2004 20” Cinema Display.
I agree with you 100 percent. Just give us something more than, what came with a standard 27-inch iMac or 27-inch iMac Pro for example, a web camera that is 4K not 1080p (smile...smile).
Longing for a replacement ever since my apple display started to buzz and eventually die. My question is if you can't daisy chain, and all the ads show more than one monitor usually on a desk, it sounds like you waste some ports on the back of the Mac studio. Also which camera gets used with multiple displays? No one seems to address these issues and curious if Apple would use the A13 for more than camera and stereo duty. Thoughts?
Awesome display. Ordered the complete package which consists of the base Mac Studio and Studio Display with tilt and height adjustable stand. Yeah...that's a lot of money 🤑. However I did offset the cost by selling my M1, 2020 Mac mini for $1,399. That said here's something you may want to consider regarding the Studio Display. The standard stand with just "Tilt" adjustment only allows 4.5 inches of clearance between your desk and bottom edge of the Studio Display. To put that in perspective the Mac Studio is 3.7 inches tall which leaves only 0.8 inches between it and the bottom edge of the Studio Display. I'm 5' 7" tall and when seated for a comfortable viewing angle I required 6.5 to 7 inches between my desk and the bottom of my LG UltraFine 5K Display (which was previously sold in Apple Stores as a Mac centric display). My thinking is that if you are my height or taller (equally portioned between torso and leg length) you most likely will not be happy with the Studio Display viewing angle when seated configured with the tilt only stand. ☹. I don't what Apple's thinking was regarding design of the Studio Display but it seems a mis-step not to make the stands interchangeable to be swapped after ordering within say 15 days. Apple could have made it mandatory that the display be taken to an Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider for adjustment to limit warranty claims and control inventory. What are your thoughts🤔
Very nice. I have a question that no one answered properly. When you connect a macbookpro to a display via thunderbolt cable, does this setup harm the battery of the macbook when using it daily as a desktop unit.? Some say, the machine will recognize that it is powered up constantly and the current by pass the battery so it does not stress it. What is your advise? What is the proper and safe way to use a laptop with a desktop monitor?
I also think the 5K resolution is good for scaling to the 2560x1440 resolution because that resolution is actually the best for a 27" monitor. Double this resolution and you have the 5K resolution of 5120x2880
yeah let's make the monitor 500bucks more expensive for 5K... Jeez we have a lot of NONE 200% scaling on macbook pro's. Would take that extra real estate any day above "perfect 200% scaling" I don't get why people are trying to defend this, but missing the 120Hz high refresh rate isn't a thing lol The years and years old 5K iMac was the same price as this monitor.. ow yeah, but with an entire computer inside
The rotating feature is excellent. I do portrait photography and having a dedicated high res monitor that allows me to edit in portrait to get the best results.
Note for anyone wanting rotation that to get this you need to buy the VESA mount option and then buy a VESA mount that supports rotation to attach it to. The Apple stands do not provide the rotating option that the XDR display stand has.
I was using a 23" Cinema display until 4 months ago! I had no issues with backlight or pixels. Colour rendering was great. I just needed more resolution.
I think the studio display is great. The thunderbolt display was $1000 back in 2011. 2560 × 1440 resolution. It is $1,288.31 in today's dollars. Today, you're getting a 5K display with great speakers and a Facetime camera. There is no other display that has that build quality as well. It will last another 10 years.
@@ctlspl That's a bit of stretch to call a 5K monitor outdated when probably 99% of monitors sold are still 4K and lower. They still sell 1080p monitors!
I have a 27" imac already. Feels pretty bad to have to buy a new display that is more expensive than that imac was PLUS a mac studio, just to have something equivalent to the imac (at least in terms of workflow/experience). It feels like they basically decided to split the display and computer just to nudge people into making 2 expensive purchases instead of 1. But yeah, I went with the mac studio and i'm picking up a LG 32" 4K display at half the price of the apple studio display instead.
It's funny that some people see the most generous move of Apple in its history as "they want to trick you in a purchase of two items". If you separate compute and display, you can build a modular, cost-effective system. Apple understands this and this is why they put this (in my opinion affordable) price-tag. The question is not if it is expensive but what are the alternatives? If you buy the Studio Display you can just replace the mac in future according to your needs which is way cheaper than selling an Imac with 50% loss and buying a new one with current hardware. It makes much more sense to buy the Studio Display, buy a (cheap) Mac Mini M1 and replace the Mini M1 at some point with the M2.
With just the vesa mount it weighs over two pounds more than an entire imac. I get that there are some extra square inches and aluminum but this is without a stand and with no mi mac inside. Apples says it can get firmware updates. Not sure what all that means but it would appear that there is more to this dsiplay than meets the eyes.
Had this comment on appleinsider: "I tried to find LG's 5K display and it's been discontinued (see LG's website). I have to wonder if Apple is taking all of LG's display production. LG's 34" 21:9 display is out of stock but who knows if that will be returning. LG now only sells a designated 4K display. I am hoping the new Studio Display wasn't built from displays LG couldn't sell, especially for a $1300 price tag (no camera or microphone). Amazon has 7 left in stock so once they're sold, LG won't be replacing them with the current model. I did a search and all the other 5K displays are wide or ultra wide and much bigger. I guess they're having issues making a higher density 27" 5K display so the new Studio Display might be the only 5K display available that really works with the Mac." You might have wanted to mention the Out of Stock listing for the LG display on the Apple Store. From what I've read the Studio Display is simply a marginally updated version of the old LG display. Thoughts?? Of course, when there's really nothing on the market at 27" and 5K that works well with a Mac, it appears the new Studio Display is the only game in town. It looks like my upgrade process will go back to how I upgraded 20 years ago with separate display and computer purchases. I might get the Studio Display, connect it to my M1 MBA and all the external Thunderbolt storage I have (yes, spend a little extra and get Thunderbolt drives at least until USB4 max speed external enclosures are available). Give me a year to see how the next generation Macs look like and I'll figure out whether I get an updated mini, a larger laptop or ??????
Can someone explain me, why one would use the USB-C ports on the display rather than on the connected mac? How does the data get to the mac? Via the connected TB3 cable? What is the benefit of 3 USB-C ports if they all consume bandwith of one TB3 port?
No direct daisy chaining support is a deal breaker for me! :-( Don’t want to buy a hub just because Apple was too cheap to add a 2nd Thunderbolt port. Even the older Thunderbolt Display had daisy chaining support. Why Apple? Why did you remove this amazing feature?
Its because they added so many ports to the new studio which would have better bandwidth per display. So I imagine they were thinking because we got our ports back we don’t need to stretch each Thunderbolt and lose resolution or stress the graphics when you have 4 Thunderbolt (1 per Display) AND each display has its own separate hub and data stream for accessories. It does suck but I get it when you have that much extra power and so many ports to spare AND a built in hub on the displays themselves.
The LG Ultrafine 5k display costs $1300 and it's overpriced compared to the Studio Display as it's only $300 less, has an inferior panel and lacks a lot of features.
How will I connect to the mac studio or studio display to a second monitor? Will I connect the studio display to the mac studio via hdmi then the second monitor to the studio display via thunderbolt?
Have been using the thunderbolt display in a 2013 iMac for 9 years. 27” at 2560x1440 is a great compromise between real estate and icon size. 5k means it twice as sharp. If only there was a M1Pro chip inside instead of the A13. Will have to wait for the Mac Studio Mini ( Mac Mini Pro?) with the M1pro.
You people don’t price monitors often. $2k (w/ the good stand) isn’t setting the world on fire with its affordability but it’s not that bad for a high quality 5K display. Now if I can just talk my wife into letting me buy 3 of them.
super review. i like that you got right to the point. Any suggestions on worthy desktop Vesa options? i like the idea of freeing up desk space underneath the monitor, but so many of the mounts look cheap and sag ... no idea where to start.
I saw your caldigit TS4 review and now this one. I wonder: would I be able to connect of these displays to the 2 x TB4 ports on the back of the TS4 dock (as they would both constitute the “end of the daisy chain)”?
I am gonna wait it out. I believe next year the monitor will come with all the extra specs that a 2022 monitor should already have at this price range (HDR + 120 hz) . Apple knows that as it is and being a new product it will sell and want to save some hardware upgrades to milk the cow a little longer.
i'm not sure there is even a way to get 5k @ 120hz. That's a lot of data and might require two cables. I might be wrong though. There is a reason there are not very many 5k displays by any company - especially not high refresh.
@@halfalligator6518 The reason is 99.99% of content is 4K, not 5K. It's not a standard, that's why it's expensive. The first question would be, is it logic to charge double the amount for a 5K compaired to a 4K display for a (highend) consumer product. Keep in mind they have the XDR for people who want the best of the best. The made a big mistake imo
I also still own a thunderbolt display, hooked up to a Mac Pro "trashcan" 2013! Though for my Mac Pro 2019 i have a BenQ. I still want the Apple Pro XDR display for my Mac Pro 2019 but $5000 is a lot! Though i love the design so so much! I do like the design of the studio display as well but it's only 60Hz. I really would've thought it would be a higher Hz display. So now i'm not sure which one i should go for!
Got that monitor still in use on my mom’s Mac Mini. It’s an oldie but a goody. And yes, I love the integration. Not sure if I’m ready/willing to buy the Studio tho.
Brightness and volume buttons, Auto on-off also work mit any ddc/ci monitor, which are basically all. I don’t think that’s special. (I had also a Thunderbolt Display and switched to LG ultrawide)
I’m still using 2 Thunderbolt Displays with my 2017 iMac 5K on a triple arm VESA Mount. In the next year or two I’ll replace the iMac with a Mac Studio and Studio Display while still keeping the 2 Thunderbolt Displays attached.
Have you done an acual color calibration with a Calibrite or Datacolor unit to evaluate actual sRGB & Adobe RGB color space coverage? Very good review, very tempted to order one for use with my 2017 MBP.
Apple completely screwed this up. No promotion. No mini led. No XDR. Not even standard HDR. Not to mention it’s only 300 cheaper than an iMac. This is a selfish money grab and no one should buy one. Apple makes great stuff. They just need to stop releasing products that made absolutely no sense to buy. This is just highway robbery.
I agree with you 100 percent. With the 27-inch iMac and the 27-inch iMac Pro both discontinued Apple, Inc. now wants you to pay 35 percent more for a complete system over a larger iMac. Own a 27-inch Cinema (none thunderbolt) display and in April, I will carry it into my local Apple retail store and ask them to connect it up to a Mac Studio (i.e. Thunderbolt 4 to Thunderbolt 3 cable and then Thunderbolt 3 cable to Thunderbolt 2 cable). If it all works properly, I will order a new Mac Studio but continue to use my 12 year old Cinema Display (smile...smile).
@@transitengineer I agree. I think that’s a good choice. I like the idea of the Mac studio. I think the way to go would be one of the LG panels they offer if you don’t already have a monitor. It’s just a shame to see them release inferior products. They have been showing off all of their new display technology and then release a product that would have been well received 2 years ago and expect people to pay a premium now.
@@HulkStillGotIt You are completely correct. Apple is selling their Mac Studio Display 1.0 version with 2017, iMac Pro (27-inch size, 5K display, 1080p web camera, etc.) tech at 2024 prices. The cost may appear reasonable when, they are able to release their 2.0 and 3.0 versions of the Mac Studio Display as you stated (with pro-motion, mini LED, XDR, and a 4K web camera) with modern tech but, not in March of 2022 (smile...smile).
If it would be 32 inch and 6k resolution with reasonable price then would be great. But for just monitor 1.600 USD and still need a computer to use it seems not much wise. After 30 inch Apple Cinema Display to launch 27 inch even if it is brand-new product seems disappointing somehow. Because people can not afford Apple Pro XDR Display and 27 inch for display not as big as before time. Apple had to catch the time. Actually why Apple does not make a poll for every product line between its users. Finally it would be the best way to decide about products. I do not think Apple's engineers and designers reflect enough brand's innovative and creative face. Particularly after Steve Jobs passed away. They had better take into consideration customer / consumer / user reviews too.
@@aninditabasak7694 I love so much standalone displays too but there had to be size update too beside 5k. 27 Inch not as big as before while 32 inch ones are getting more common. On the other had there is price issue that just for a standalone monitor to spend 1.600 USD not seems much reasonable. I think that the best solution to get all in one package in imac 32 inch upgrade if Apple launches.
I think it's a pretty good choice especially for virtual meetings cause it has an acceptable webcam and some pretty good speakers plus built in microphones🙌
It’s a 8 year Display isn’t it? Same panel with 100 nits more, the cam plus a new design. Why would you buy such an outdated product for this big price tag?
How is it "outdated"? Color space is good, sharpness excellent (!), camera and microphones (for general use) seem to be good, design is clearly better than 95% of all black plastic monitors. So? Yes it is essentially the same as on the iMac 5k for the last 5y or so, yet, there are hardly any alternatives with 5k. 4k is not the same, standard 4k is 8,2 MP versus 14,7 megapixels on the Apple display. That is almost 1,8 x as many pixels. With photoshop and Lightroom I have become so used to a 5k display that I would not want to go lower. Would I have wanted a 120Hz mini LED monitor? Yes, and the newest rumors say such a monitor in 27" (!) with way more dimming zones will come at WWDC but you bet it will be 3k at least.
For color accuracy it’s a fantastic monitor if you need color correction for photos or videos or do graphic design. Apple doesn’t cater to high refresh rates because the majority of their professional clients need resolution and color accurate images over high refresh rate. The only thing I think is dumb is the brightness which is intentionally handicapped so “real pros” get the XDR. But whatever.
@@keesswier212 I swapped my Thunderbolt Display 27 last year to a 34“ LG curved ultrawide and never looked back. It’s way better. I don’t care for the backside look, it’s against a wall anyway.
I think it's a beautiful monitor but expensive.... I mean the iMac is the same price but with a Mac inside! And the display is very similar except for the inches difference (500 nits for Imac, 600 for this one...)...so why all this value difference? I want a good screen for movies but I think Imac is better for my consumer demand
I ordered the studio display but I was not super impressed. The Thunderbolt Display has all the ports and uses one of the best panel at the time and costs less even with inflation. The studio display does not have the best panel (mini LED), HDR support, higher refresh rate or USB-A.
IMO Apple blew with this one. No mini led, shit stand, enormous price tag. You are pretty much paying for all the junk that you don't need. You can buy 3x 4k monitors with the same specs for the same money.
Do you have any recommendations for a good 27” external monitor that I can use with the M1 13” MBP? This display is fantastic but I can’t see paying that much for it. Any suggestions would be helpful. I also have windows 11 installed with parallels on my MacBook Pro so I would probably need something that’s dual compatible. Thanks for the help.
Why didn’t you mention that the display is 60HZ? No mention that the power cable can’t be removed/replaced Who’s dropping that much on a display that’ll be very outdated in two years
@@AppleInsider I'm sure the cable can be serviced ($$$ when the warranty ends). However, ther's no HDR support, no local dimming, no VRR, no mini LED, is actually 8-bit + dithering, not true 10-bit, etc A big, missed opportunity to fall in line with its siblings - M1 Macbook pros, ipad pro, iPhone 13
💯 I agree with everything you said!! I’ve been using a 2016 Thunderbolt Display because nothing else from Apple store was available until now. It’s a fantastic upgrade! I’ve ordered 2🔥🤩
I was waiting for this display and I’m disappointed. I moved from imac 5k 2017 to macbook pro 16 with m1 max and I really wanted to buy new apple display. Unfortunately this screen is like iphone se. It is the same screen as it was in 2017 imac with a lot of disadvantages. Apart from resolution and build quality it has the same color specs as other cheap monitors. I bet it still not uniformly backlit and has slight color shifts. LG, Samsung, Asus and others presented color calibrated oled or mini led screens for around 1500-2000€. So if you need screen for media content creation it is just really bad deal.
can you point us to a 5k oled or mini led display for 2000€ please ? Oh wait... :) I'm a bit disappointed too though to be honest.

@ yeah I agree it’s expensive. In your case it looks like you value more color accuracy than pixel density so alternatives might make more sense. Personally I don’t do color grading so pretty colors are good enough. I do value pixel density and screen real estate of a 5k display.
Why is the ugly hole in the stand visible from the front? That doesn't happen on the iMac or any other Mac product - it is just a blatant design blunder. The monitor also sits too high, and has no ability to be lowered (even on the height adjustable version - that only goes UP).
Very underwhelming. Not really for the casual user - too expensive, not really for the pro user - it does not thick all the boxes concerning brightness, colour fidelity, deep blacks. Still Apple continues to ignore ergonomic features right out of the box - still an extra 400 for a simple eight adjust arm?….
I agree this monitor is, just version 1.0. Own the 1.0 version of the Apple 27-inch Cinema Display which, was the earlier none thunderbolt model that, when new sold for $999. I waited until a few years after Apple released their thunderbolt model and picked mine up used for $475. Within the next two year's, I think Apple will be selling a better version but at the same price. This is when, I am planning on buying this monitor used for say $850 (smile...smile).
It's highly unlikely they would come out with a monitor and then a new monitor that rendered the first one obsolete 3 months later. Even Apple probably wouldn't dare do that.
@@BookClubDisaster Yes, you are 100 percent correct. A replacement for the Studio Display using newer tech, will take between 24 months (2-years) to 36 months (3-years). Kind of like what they did with, the 27-inch Cinema (none thunderbolt) display and its replacement model the 27-inch Cinema Thunderbolt display. The good news is that, when they do the price for this 1.0 version of the Studio Display, should drop down to about half the cost on the used market (smile...smile).
Too expensive. Personally I do not need speakers or a camera in a display. And only one input port. So I‘‘m going for an LG display. No 5k but that’s really not worth that money.

Mac mini does not solve the issue, as the best you can get is an M1, and you still have wires and pay more than what the iMac would have cost. The chin never bothered me, but presumably they would have redesigned it if continuing on with it.
@@Levi-wz7pu Apple has never said that this is the replacement, they just stopped selling the 27” iMac. I would bet there is a good chance that size is reintroduced at a later time.
@@shredder4841 I hope you’re right.
The reason why it doesn't support daisy chaining with another 5k display is a limitation of Thunderbolt 3/4. It doesn't support that much bandwidth over a single thunderbolt port on the computer. It's the same reason why it doesn't support 5K at 120hz.
I still have the thunderbolt 2 display and have a hard time find a replacement. I just kept coming back to it. My 2nd monitor is the 2004 20” Cinema Display.
Do you think they will introduce any calibration for monitor speakers when using two studio displays side by side?
Apple absolutely loves people like you
What's on your shirt?
I do not like how we pay $400 extra for an even higher adjustable stand and it NOT ABLE to be rotated unless you get the vesa mount one
Then you get the VESA model, which is probably better because of the amazing large number of VESA mounts on the market.
I wish apple studio had 120hz
I agree with you 100 percent. Just give us something more than, what came with a standard 27-inch iMac or 27-inch iMac Pro for example, a web camera that is 4K not 1080p (smile...smile).
Longing for a replacement ever since my apple display started to buzz and eventually die. My question is if you can't daisy chain, and all the ads show more than one monitor usually on a desk, it sounds like you waste some ports on the back of the Mac studio. Also which camera gets used with multiple displays? No one seems to address these issues and curious if Apple would use the A13 for more than camera and stereo duty. Thoughts?
Awesome display. Ordered the complete package which consists of the base Mac Studio and Studio Display with tilt and height adjustable stand. Yeah...that's a lot of money 🤑. However I did offset the cost by selling my M1, 2020 Mac mini for $1,399.
That said here's something you may want to consider regarding the Studio Display. The standard stand with just "Tilt" adjustment only allows 4.5 inches of clearance between your desk and bottom edge of the Studio Display. To put that in perspective the Mac Studio is 3.7 inches tall which leaves only 0.8 inches between it and the bottom edge of the Studio Display.
I'm 5' 7" tall and when seated for a comfortable viewing angle I required 6.5 to 7 inches between my desk and the bottom of my LG UltraFine 5K Display (which was previously sold in Apple Stores as a Mac centric display). My thinking is that if you are my height or taller (equally portioned between torso and leg length) you most likely will not be happy with the Studio Display viewing angle when seated configured with the tilt only stand. ☹.
I don't what Apple's thinking was regarding design of the Studio Display but it seems a mis-step not to make the stands interchangeable to be swapped after ordering within say 15 days. Apple could have made it mandatory that the display be taken to an Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider for adjustment to limit warranty claims and control inventory. What are your thoughts🤔
@@greg5892
That viewing angle may be your preference but it’s not mine.
Very nice. I have a question that no one answered properly. When you connect a macbookpro to a display via thunderbolt cable, does this setup harm the battery of the macbook when using it daily as a desktop unit.? Some say, the machine will recognize that it is powered up constantly and the current by pass the battery so it does not stress it. What is your advise? What is the proper and safe way to use a laptop with a desktop monitor?
What do you think of the refresh rate
Thanks
I also think the 5K resolution is good for scaling to the 2560x1440 resolution because that resolution is actually the best for a 27" monitor. Double this resolution and you have the 5K resolution of 5120x2880
yeah let's make the monitor 500bucks more expensive for 5K... Jeez we have a lot of NONE 200% scaling on macbook pro's. Would take that extra real estate any day above "perfect 200% scaling"
I don't get why people are trying to defend this, but missing the 120Hz high refresh rate isn't a thing lol
The years and years old 5K iMac was the same price as this monitor.. ow yeah, but with an entire computer inside
The rotating feature is excellent. I do portrait photography and having a dedicated high res monitor that allows me to edit in portrait to get the best results.
Note for anyone wanting rotation that to get this you need to buy the VESA mount option and then buy a VESA mount that supports rotation to attach it to. The Apple stands do not provide the rotating option that the XDR display stand has.
Confession time, I still use the old Apple monitor. I keep trying to switch, but it’s so good coupled with an m1 mini that I can’t let go!
Thunderbolt Display? This will be way better. 5K crushes 1440p.
I was using a 23" Cinema display until 4 months ago! I had no issues with backlight or pixels. Colour rendering was great. I just needed more resolution.
I think the studio display is great. The thunderbolt display was $1000 back in 2011. 2560 × 1440 resolution. It is $1,288.31 in today's dollars. Today, you're getting a 5K display with great speakers and a Facetime camera. There is no other display that has that build quality as well. It will last another 10 years.
Consider it’s the 8 years old panel of the iMac 5k with 100 nits more. It’s basically outdated already.
@@ctlspl Is there any other 5K monitor on the market that has 500-600 nits with the same build quality?
@@ctlspl That's a bit of stretch to call a 5K monitor outdated when probably 99% of monitors sold are still 4K and lower. They still sell 1080p monitors!
Thanks for comparing the Studio to the LG!!!
27 is too small, 32 is better.
I have a 27" imac already. Feels pretty bad to have to buy a new display that is more expensive than that imac was PLUS a mac studio, just to have something equivalent to the imac (at least in terms of workflow/experience). It feels like they basically decided to split the display and computer just to nudge people into making 2 expensive purchases instead of 1. But yeah, I went with the mac studio and i'm picking up a LG 32" 4K display at half the price of the apple studio display instead.
It's funny that some people see the most generous move of Apple in its history as "they want to trick you in a purchase of two items". If you separate compute and display, you can build a modular, cost-effective system. Apple understands this and this is why they put this (in my opinion affordable) price-tag. The question is not if it is expensive but what are the alternatives? If you buy the Studio Display you can just replace the mac in future according to your needs which is way cheaper than selling an Imac with 50% loss and buying a new one with current hardware. It makes much more sense to buy the Studio Display, buy a (cheap) Mac Mini M1 and replace the Mini M1 at some point with the M2.
Despite this you're still a disciple of the Apple religion
With just the vesa mount it weighs over two pounds more than an entire imac. I get that there are some extra square inches and aluminum but this is without a stand and with no mi mac inside. Apples says it can get firmware updates. Not sure what all that means but it would appear that there is more to this dsiplay than meets the eyes.
Had this comment on appleinsider: "I tried to find LG's 5K display and it's been discontinued (see LG's website). I have to wonder if Apple is taking all of LG's display production. LG's 34" 21:9 display is out of stock but who knows if that will be returning. LG now only sells a designated 4K display. I am hoping the new Studio Display wasn't built from displays LG couldn't sell, especially for a $1300 price tag (no camera or microphone). Amazon has 7 left in stock so once they're sold, LG won't be replacing them with the current model. I did a search and all the other 5K displays are wide or ultra wide and much bigger. I guess they're having issues making a higher density 27" 5K display so the new Studio Display might be the only 5K display available that really works with the Mac." You might have wanted to mention the Out of Stock listing for the LG display on the Apple Store. From what I've read the Studio Display is simply a marginally updated version of the old LG display. Thoughts??
Of course, when there's really nothing on the market at 27" and 5K that works well with a Mac, it appears the new Studio Display is the only game in town. It looks like my upgrade process will go back to how I upgraded 20 years ago with separate display and computer purchases. I might get the Studio Display, connect it to my M1 MBA and all the external Thunderbolt storage I have (yes, spend a little extra and get Thunderbolt drives at least until USB4 max speed external enclosures are available). Give me a year to see how the next generation Macs look like and I'll figure out whether I get an updated mini, a larger laptop or ??????
Can someone explain me, why one would use the USB-C ports on the display rather than on the connected mac? How does the data get to the mac? Via the connected TB3 cable? What is the benefit of 3 USB-C ports if they all consume bandwith of one TB3 port?
Which one are you getting? I’m not sure if the height adjustable stand is worth the extra price.
See you got the new keyboard!! Mine will be here Monday!! Can’t wait
Does it have a KVM switch?
With only one thunderbolt on the back, does this mean you can’t use two of them for a dual monitor setup?
you can, but you'll have to plug both to your mac, not daisy chain them
No direct daisy chaining support is a deal breaker for me! :-( Don’t want to buy a hub just because Apple was too cheap to add a 2nd Thunderbolt port. Even the older Thunderbolt Display had daisy chaining support. Why Apple? Why did you remove this amazing feature?
Its because they added so many ports to the new studio which would have better bandwidth per display. So I imagine they were thinking because we got our ports back we don’t need to stretch each Thunderbolt and lose resolution or stress the graphics when you have 4 Thunderbolt (1 per Display) AND each display has its own separate hub and data stream for accessories.
It does suck but I get it when you have that much extra power and so many ports to spare AND a built in hub on the displays themselves.
The best 5K monitor out there, however it is very over priced, if this was $800-$1k it would be a good deal but $1600 is too much.
The LG Ultrafine 5k display costs $1300 and it's overpriced compared to the Studio Display as it's only $300 less, has an inferior panel and lacks a lot of features.
Because it’s no longer produced. If this display was still in production it would be much cheaper, like it happens with all displays.
Just got mine, I also been waiting for something like these to come out.
How will I connect to the mac studio or studio display to a second monitor? Will I connect the studio display to the mac studio via hdmi then the second monitor to the studio display via thunderbolt?
Why still lcd?
The studio display is about the same cost that Apple is offering for my iMac Pro trade in. Can I just keep it and use it as the display?
So am I wrong in that most docks don't support 5K? Im thinking you have to go direct to your MacBook and not thru the dock. Please tell me I'm wrong.
Could not agree more! Loved the Thunderbolt Display and also totally excited about the new Apple Studio Display!
Already have my Apple studio display or an order with the tilt in height adjustment stand
Pre ordered this in India, about 2100 bucks. Can't wait to get my hands on it and pair it with my 14 inch max.
Have been using the thunderbolt display in a 2013 iMac for 9 years. 27” at 2560x1440 is a great compromise between real estate and icon size. 5k means it twice as sharp. If only there was a M1Pro chip inside instead of the A13. Will have to wait for the Mac Studio Mini ( Mac Mini Pro?) with the M1pro.
way more than twice as sharp
2.5k=3.7m pixels
5k=14.7m pixels
@@neonlost correct
Same I can’t wait to replace my aging Thunderbolt Display!
@@neonlost Four times as sharp.
You people don’t price monitors often. $2k (w/ the good stand) isn’t setting the world on fire with its affordability but it’s not that bad for a high quality 5K display. Now if I can just talk my wife into letting me buy 3 of them.
Why doesn’t the stand allow cable pass through and easy cable access, a big mistake
I have a Macbook Pro 14" and an iMac 24". Question is do i sell my iMac for this Display 🤔
I totaly agree. It is good value for the money. I will buy two of them. But I am still waiting for the youtube reviews.
you misused "anymore", it is "everything uses USB-C these days", not anymore, anymore is only used in negative clauses.
I'd like a 24 inch version: lower price, lower height, and I'd buy two.
This or the new Alienware/Dell OLED?
super review. i like that you got right to the point. Any suggestions on worthy desktop Vesa options? i like the idea of freeing up desk space underneath the monitor, but so many of the mounts look cheap and sag ... no idea where to start.
I saw your caldigit TS4 review and now this one. I wonder: would I be able to connect of these displays to the 2 x TB4 ports on the back of the TS4 dock (as they would both constitute the “end of the daisy chain)”?
I am gonna wait it out. I believe next year the monitor will come with all the extra specs that a 2022 monitor should already have at this price range (HDR + 120 hz) . Apple knows that as it is and being a new product it will sell and want to save some hardware upgrades to milk the cow a little longer.
They should also release a 32 inch
i'm not sure there is even a way to get 5k @ 120hz. That's a lot of data and might require two cables. I might be wrong though. There is a reason there are not very many 5k displays by any company - especially not high refresh.
@@halfalligator6518 The reason is 99.99% of content is 4K, not 5K. It's not a standard, that's why it's expensive. The first question would be, is it logic to charge double the amount for a 5K compaired to a 4K display for a (highend) consumer product. Keep in mind they have the XDR for people who want the best of the best.
The made a big mistake imo
There is 0% chance new HDR 120HZ monitor is coming next year
@@danieldev514 Thunderbolt 4 doesn't even support 5k@120hz. So I'd say you are correct.
Sorry, the Lg ultrafine 5k is $700 cheaper if you want a stand with the same function.
You could get the same display (besides 100 nits less and the new FT camera) for the same price with a free iMac attached to it 😂
I also still own a thunderbolt display, hooked up to a Mac Pro "trashcan" 2013! Though for my Mac Pro 2019 i have a BenQ. I still want the Apple Pro XDR display for my Mac Pro 2019 but $5000 is a lot! Though i love the design so so much! I do like the design of the studio display as well but it's only 60Hz. I really would've thought it would be a higher Hz display. So now i'm not sure which one i should go for!
Checks all the boxes except being a 32" Display! Come On! 27" in 2022? Not impressed.
And no daisy chaining 😞
Very nice. Good information
Got that monitor still in use on my mom’s Mac Mini. It’s an oldie but a goody. And yes, I love the integration. Not sure if I’m ready/willing to buy the Studio tho.
Brightness and volume buttons, Auto on-off also work mit any ddc/ci monitor, which are basically all. I don’t think that’s special. (I had also a Thunderbolt Display and switched to LG ultrawide)
I’m still using 2 Thunderbolt Displays with my 2017 iMac 5K on a triple arm VESA Mount. In the next year or two I’ll replace the iMac with a Mac Studio and Studio Display while still keeping the 2 Thunderbolt Displays attached.
Have you done an acual color calibration with a Calibrite or Datacolor unit to evaluate actual sRGB & Adobe RGB color space coverage? Very good review, very tempted to order one for use with my 2017 MBP.
Apple completely screwed this up. No promotion. No mini led. No XDR. Not even standard HDR. Not to mention it’s only 300 cheaper than an iMac. This is a selfish money grab and no one should buy one. Apple makes great stuff. They just need to stop releasing products that made absolutely no sense to buy. This is just highway robbery.
I agree with you 100 percent. With the 27-inch iMac and the 27-inch iMac Pro both discontinued Apple, Inc. now wants you to pay 35 percent more for a complete system over a larger iMac. Own a 27-inch Cinema (none thunderbolt) display and in April, I will carry it into my local Apple retail store and ask them to connect it up to a Mac Studio (i.e. Thunderbolt 4 to Thunderbolt 3 cable and then Thunderbolt 3 cable to Thunderbolt 2 cable). If it all works properly, I will order a new Mac Studio but continue to use my 12 year old Cinema Display (smile...smile).
@@transitengineer I agree. I think that’s a good choice. I like the idea of the Mac studio. I think the way to go would be one of the LG panels they offer if you don’t already have a monitor. It’s just a shame to see them release inferior products. They have been showing off all of their new display technology and then release a product that would have been well received 2 years ago and expect people to pay a premium now.
@@HulkStillGotIt You are completely correct. Apple is selling their Mac Studio Display 1.0 version with 2017, iMac Pro (27-inch size, 5K display, 1080p web camera, etc.) tech at 2024 prices. The cost may appear reasonable when, they are able to release their 2.0 and 3.0 versions of the Mac Studio Display as you stated (with pro-motion, mini LED, XDR, and a 4K web camera) with modern tech but, not in March of 2022 (smile...smile).
Nice monitor but it’s very expensive for $1600
If it would be 32 inch and 6k resolution with reasonable price then would be great. But for just monitor 1.600 USD and still need a computer to use it seems not much wise. After 30 inch Apple Cinema Display to launch 27 inch even if it is brand-new product seems disappointing somehow. Because people can not afford Apple Pro XDR Display and 27 inch for display not as big as before time. Apple had to catch the time. Actually why Apple does not make a poll for every product line between its users. Finally it would be the best way to decide about products. I do not think Apple's engineers and designers reflect enough brand's innovative and creative face. Particularly after Steve Jobs passed away. They had better take into consideration customer / consumer / user reviews too.
27 inch is still a good size and a lot of people have been wanting exactly this type of standalone display since the Thunderbolt Display was killed.
@@aninditabasak7694 I love so much standalone displays too but there had to be size update too beside 5k. 27 Inch not as big as before while 32 inch ones are getting more common. On the other had there is price issue that just for a standalone monitor to spend 1.600 USD not seems much reasonable. I think that the best solution to get all in one package in imac 32 inch upgrade if Apple launches.
I think it's a pretty good choice especially for virtual meetings cause it has an acceptable webcam and some pretty good speakers plus built in microphones🙌
It’s a 8 year Display isn’t it? Same panel with 100 nits more, the cam plus a new design. Why would you buy such an outdated product for this big price tag?
How is it "outdated"? Color space is good, sharpness excellent (!), camera and microphones (for general use) seem to be good, design is clearly better than 95% of all black plastic monitors. So?
Yes it is essentially the same as on the iMac 5k for the last 5y or so, yet, there are hardly any alternatives with 5k. 4k is not the same, standard 4k is 8,2 MP versus 14,7 megapixels on the Apple display. That is almost 1,8 x as many pixels. With photoshop and Lightroom I have become so used to a 5k display that I would not want to go lower. Would I have wanted a 120Hz mini LED monitor? Yes, and the newest rumors say such a monitor in 27" (!) with way more dimming zones will come at WWDC but you bet it will be 3k at least.
For color accuracy it’s a fantastic monitor if you need color correction for photos or videos or do graphic design. Apple doesn’t cater to high refresh rates because the majority of their professional clients need resolution and color accurate images over high refresh rate.
The only thing I think is dumb is the brightness which is intentionally handicapped so “real pros” get the XDR. But whatever.
Because it's much better and more beautiful than the plastic LG monitors!
@@keesswier212 I swapped my Thunderbolt Display 27 last year to a 34“ LG curved ultrawide and never looked back. It’s way better. I don’t care for the backside look, it’s against a wall anyway.
It’s outdated completely
No hdr , no 120hz ?? But at that price why not make it xdr??
Apple thunderbolt display still awesome!!!
I think it's a beautiful monitor but expensive.... I mean the iMac is the same price but with a Mac inside! And the display is very similar except for the inches difference (500 nits for Imac, 600 for this one...)...so why all this value difference? I want a good screen for movies but I think Imac is better for my consumer demand
Have to say, without Max, you did pretty well with your channel, and lightning on ur face looks better than theirs.
I ordered the studio display but I was not super impressed. The Thunderbolt Display has all the ports and uses one of the best panel at the time and costs less even with inflation. The studio display does not have the best panel (mini LED), HDR support, higher refresh rate or USB-A.
7:03 "only $200 less than Studio Display", no it's $300 less
IMO Apple blew with this one. No mini led, shit stand, enormous price tag. You are pretty much paying for all the junk that you don't need. You can buy 3x 4k monitors with the same specs for the same money.
Do you have any recommendations for a good 27” external monitor that I can use with the M1 13” MBP? This display is fantastic but I can’t see paying that much for it. Any suggestions would be helpful. I also have windows 11 installed with parallels on my MacBook Pro so I would probably need something that’s dual compatible. Thanks for the help.

I’d buy if it was bigger
I was waiting for this display and I’m disappointed. I moved from imac 5k 2017 to macbook pro 16 with m1 max and I really wanted to buy new apple display. Unfortunately this screen is like iphone se. It is the same screen as it was in 2017 imac with a lot of disadvantages. Apart from resolution and build quality it has the same color specs as other cheap monitors. I bet it still not uniformly backlit and has slight color shifts. LG, Samsung, Asus and others presented color calibrated oled or mini led screens for around 1500-2000€. So if you need screen for media content creation it is just really bad deal.
Cheap monitors don't have DCI-P3 or 600 nits brightness (the standard is between 300-400).
can you point us to a 5k oled or mini led display for 2000€ please ? Oh wait... :) I'm a bit disappointed too though to be honest.
@@jean-michelbocal6766 You don't need 600 nits especially in SDR color grading. Latest MBP16 with HDR has 500 nits for UI and this is a laptop that you can take outside. For color grading you don't use maxout settings of the screen. I just bought cheap Dell U2723QE that has 400 nits, 98% DCI-P3 for 1/3 of the price in my country. I had imac 27 2017 5k and I have to change 3x screen due to bad uniformity and the last one wasn't the best. Don't get me wrong, it is nice screen but not for that price in 2021.

@ yeah I agree it’s expensive. In your case it looks like you value more color accuracy than pixel density so alternatives might make more sense. Personally I don’t do color grading so pretty colors are good enough. I do value pixel density and screen real estate of a 5k display.
Wow it was dusty, look at the state of your shirt.
Specs underwhelming yet price high = meh
Why is the ugly hole in the stand visible from the front? That doesn't happen on the iMac or any other Mac product - it is just a blatant design blunder. The monitor also sits too high, and has no ability to be lowered (even on the height adjustable version - that only goes UP).
Folks have no idea how cheap this price is given the spec.
Huh? Its absolutely overpriced. You can buy 3x monitors with similar specs for the same price.
Very underwhelming. Not really for the casual user - too expensive, not really for the pro user - it does not thick all the boxes concerning brightness, colour fidelity, deep blacks. Still Apple continues to ignore ergonomic features right out of the box - still an extra 400 for a simple eight adjust arm?….
but its for Rich Consumer, why not ? people can buy 2000$ bag or shoe, why not a monitor ?
It’s far too expensive.
Everyone must go to ross young’s twitter he says a 27 inch mini led studio display pro is coming out at WWDC be aware before u buy this
Also Ming Chi Quo, who is as reputable as they come, says no Mini LED products from Apple this year. So… probably not coming at WWDC
@@AppleInsider he said maybe, also they teased Mac Pro maybe because it’s coming as soon as WWDC
I agree this monitor is, just version 1.0. Own the 1.0 version of the Apple 27-inch Cinema Display which, was the earlier none thunderbolt model that, when new sold for $999. I waited until a few years after Apple released their thunderbolt model and picked mine up used for $475. Within the next two year's, I think Apple will be selling a better version but at the same price. This is when, I am planning on buying this monitor used for say $850 (smile...smile).
It's highly unlikely they would come out with a monitor and then a new monitor that rendered the first one obsolete 3 months later. Even Apple probably wouldn't dare do that.
@@BookClubDisaster Yes, you are 100 percent correct. A replacement for the Studio Display using newer tech, will take between 24 months (2-years) to 36 months (3-years). Kind of like what they did with, the 27-inch Cinema (none thunderbolt) display and its replacement model the 27-inch Cinema Thunderbolt display. The good news is that, when they do the price for this 1.0 version of the Studio Display, should drop down to about half the cost on the used market (smile...smile).
Too much money for a monitor.... I don't care what camera, etc they build in.
I'm sorry Dell has better offerings.
hey dude you prob didn't notice but you got some dust on your shirt

Apple Studio Display 1599 - LG 5K UltraFine 1299 = 300$ difference. :)
27 is too small
Now that we know what’s inside that thing, I’ll give it six months before some kid finds a way to install Linux on it and play Doom.
Too expensive. Personally I do not need speakers or a camera in a display. And only one input port.
So I‘‘m going for an LG display. No 5k but that’s really not worth that money.
