If you’re in the market for a new monitor, you’ve got plenty of choices out there. But if you want something premium you can rely on, there are some set options that you can trust to give you a picture that you’re proud of. A premium display needs to offer performance beyond simply being sharp on a data sheet, and the Apple Studio Display is designed for anyone who wants a screen that performs well when spending extended periods viewing content (like video), editing content, or making video calls.
So if you want your own Apple Studio Display (the latest version), you can save a significant amount on it right now. Go to Amazon today and get the new Apple Studio Display for $1,499.00 (down from $1,599.00) – that’s a savings of $100.00, and a total savings of 6%.
A crisp display perfect for every use case
You’ll have plenty of room on a 27-inch 5K Retina display to work comfortably without having to invest in a large footprint for an oversized setup. And because the resolution is high enough to provide you with crisp, detailed views of text, photos, and other interface elements, you should find yourself working longer and more comfortably. The version reviewed here features standard glass and a tiltable stand, so you can put it directly onto your desk and start using it. The display itself is designed to be an all-in-one solution with a built-in camera, mics, speakers, and multiple ports.
The 27-inch display uses a 5120 x 2880 pixel resolution and 218 pixels per inch. It’s the combination of those two factors that sets this display apart from less expensive 4K alternatives. In addition to providing 14.7 million pixels, the display supports 1 billion colors, P3 wide color gamut, and 600 nits of brightness. Those types of details will impact your daily viewing experience more than any flashy design.
The display also features a built-in anti-reflective coating, which reduces glare in brighter rooms without requiring an additional glass upgrade.
The built-in camera and audio capabilities of the Studio Display are likely a larger part of the draw than on most standalone displays.
There are two Thunderbolt 5 ports for connecting faster accessories, daisy-chaining up to four displays, and fast-charge Mac laptops; there are also two USB-C ports for connecting peripherals or charging an iPhone. This adds to the Studio Display’s “hub” functionality on a desk, rather than limiting it to being just a screen. If you prefer to use a third-party stand or VESA mount, the included stand is tilt-adjustable, and the optional stand and/or mount can also adjust for both tilt and height.
The $1,499.00 price tag is certainly still premium, so don’t get us wrong. But the 6% discount from the usual $1,599.00 price takes a small bite out of the cost. What you’re getting, in addition to a 27-inch screen, is a camera, microphones, a six-speaker setup, 5K resolution, a very bright, wide-color-gamut panel, and built-in connectivity. So it’s all very worth the price, especially if you want a monitor that can do it all and deliver a great picture.
