Apple<\/a> (MacRumors<\/a>, Hacker News<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Studio Display, the perfect complement to Mac Studio, also pairs beautifully with any Mac. It features an expansive 27-inch 5K Retina display, a 12MP Ultra Wide camera with Center Stage, and a high-fidelity six-speaker sound system with spatial audio.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Its built-in stand allows the user to tilt the display up to 30 degrees. To meet the needs of a variety of workspaces, Studio Display also offers a tilt- and height-adjustable stand option with a counterbalancing arm that makes the display feel weightless as it is adjusted. A VESA mount adapter option is also available, and supports landscape or portrait orientation for even more flexibility.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Studio Display has three USB-C ports that deliver speeds up to 10Gb\/s to connect high-speed peripherals, storage, and networking right into the display. A Thunderbolt port enables users to connect Studio Display and any connected peripherals to their Mac with a single cable. The same cable also delivers 96W of power to a Mac notebook, allowing Studio Display to even fast-charge a 14-inch MacBook Pro.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Apple should have made something like this in 2014<\/em> or so, but it’s finally here and looks pretty great. This is<\/em> a lot of money for a display, but the other options are not good. At $1,599 with the tilt-stand or VESA, it’s $300 more than the LG UltraFine 5K<\/a>, but it adds a (seemingly great) camera and should be much more reliable. It’s only $200 less than the base 27-inch iMac (Intel, seemingly discontinued now). The nano-texture glass is $300 extra and seems like a bad idea (even though I like matte). The height-adjustable stand is $400 extra, but VESA seems better to me. That’s what I ordered.<\/p>\n\n

Apple just announced a $1600 monitor and I went “whoa, that’s not bad!”<\/p>

Just a tad more expensive than an XDR Display stand.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Advice for those looking into that new display: See it in the store before assuming you want the matte finish. I find it dulls the colors so badly it’s not worth the glare reduction. Better to invest in improving your office lighting.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

If nano-texture on this display is anything like the XDR - don’t get it.<\/p>\n

It works soo well for reducing glare but wow it’s so ridiculously delicate. I’m super careful around it and have random scratches<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The 27\" 5K display in my old iMac is still perfectly fine. Too bad I can’t think of a way to just bypass the old iMac CPU and use just the monitor portion with a Mac Studio CPU.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

It’s not TOO bad, but I’d like to see a second model with no camera, speakers, or A13 in it for $1099. I’d buy that in a heartbeat.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Apple’s new monitor: has an iPhone chip

We’re like this<\/em> close to the world where all your software works everywhere, and you just buy the size and shape of thing you want. I want to live in that world, and Apple is just teasing me with it<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Reminiscing about the most stressful but amazing purchase in Panic early days: a 22\" Apple Cinema Display. Hard to remember how amazing the CRT to LCD jump was.<\/p>\n

So flat. So sharp. It cost $3999 (!!!).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
