I love how He doesn't compare the studio display to anything but an Overpriced XDR and 5 yr old LG. There are much better options out there in 4k. Also the webcam and speakers still definitely don't compare to dedicated devices. Especially the webcam. The stand options where height adjust bumps it up to 1999 and non user removable power cord have no reason. But it gets an edge being 5K, and APPLE design, but its a niche product and I wish Apple had a monitor providing value to the majority.

good comparison. One major thing I noticed: the viewing angle changes brightness and color on the new studio monitor. It seemed worse than the older 27 iMac panel I use daily, when I tried it at the apple store. Especially looking a little downward I saw colors and brightness change much more than I am used to. Also the black levels are lacking when comparing to the new laptops or the xdr panels. Made the decision and just ordered an xdr -> better black values, more screen real estate with same size ui, working daily for 6 to 8 hours with design & photo its worth it for me.

[@majorgear1021]

[@magicquestionsbykeithellis]

[@XtremeArtists]

Great review. I wanted to add that dimming zones are not ideal for image editing on certain types of images where you have high contrast. The dimming zones can create artifacts (since dimming zones are larger than pixels). When I got my 12.9" M1 iPad Pro with mini LED, I thought it looked great for watching Dolby Vision movies, but I couldn't imagine doing serious photoshop retouching on it. I'm glad Apple went the route they did with the Studio Display (IPS). On another note, you could be correct the monitor's thickness is because it is (or was) destined to be an iMac Pro, but a lot of that thickness is taken up by the internal power supply. The external power supply on the (much thinner) 24" iMac is about the size of an Apple TV. This display would need a larger external power supply than that to allow 96W charging of a connected laptop...

[@PeterEmery]

The combination of the display quality, brightness, terrific speakers, 10Gbps-capable USB-C ports and solid construction won me over to the Studio Display from a very cheap 28-in 4k display that was affected by interference from any operating webcam. As the existin 4k monitor used a VESA mount, I chose that option with my Studio Display. I generally use a boom-mounted USB condenser mic which my target audience on Zoom prefers over the built-in mic array. To get around the limitations of the webcam I use Continuity Camera with my iPhone 13 Mini and the Belkin iPhone Mount. Another viable option is Iriun Webcam (iOS and Android) with a phone on a tripod. Iriun Webcam also works with iPads.

Have noticed - very subtle albeit - shadowing across the monitor of the studio display, more so toward the edges. Especially noticeable in the highlights of moving images.

Fantastic review guys. I’m on the fence and this is tipping me to the 5K

[@keouam9488]

I never thought I'd buy the Studio Display so I bought the Ultra Fine LG 5k from Amazon, set it up and was pleased. Then Best Buy had the Studio Display in stock out of nowhere on Friday, so I placed an in-store pickup with the quickness to compare them. First thing I noticed was that when using both monitors at the same time the LG's signal would cut out completely and never turn back on. I had to unplug the thunderbolt to reset the LG. The Studio Display was flawless (as you would guess). After a few hours I realized I would be keeping the Studio Display due to various reasons but the main reason was I needed something that will always be reliable. Just wish it was LED...to solve any height limitations, it currently sits on top of my Mac Studio 🤪

Great review Max. Thanks! I am a pro hobby photographer and do a fair amount of HDR, and some drones. Which display would you recommend? studio or XDR? If you could not afford the XDR, which Studio would you recommend with glass or nano texture?

[@bassentertainmentstudios1900]

I’m not a professional but what I heard from others is that the nano texture glass is only worth it if you place the display right by a window. The nano texture glass will have less contrast and color accuracy than the standard. Also I highly suggest getting a used version of the studio display for around 1,300 dollars unless you really want the unboxing experience.

[@bbeachill]

This is a really good and informative review. It’s balanced and considered unlike many of the other reviews I’ve seen. If you take into account the excellent build quality, the superb display quality, the higher brightness, plus all the extra features, it’s clearly a high quality monitor with an expensive, yes, but still reasonable price tag.

[@haysoos123]

The biggest problem is the Studio Display isn't as good as my MacBook Pro display. I think they hit the wrong sweet spot and bundled some features in there that most studio pros don't care about, all to hit a higher price point. Extra processor with webcam? Nice speakers? Most will already have better speakers in the studio, like reference monitors. I know I do. They should have removed the speakers and processor and hit $1000, or made it $2000 with no speakers/A13 and had a mini LED that matches the spec of the MacBook Pro.

Didn’t know about the data speed limitations of the XDR. That was really useful! I really liked the larger size of the XDR, but with data speed and built-in speakers, the studio display seems like a much better monitor for almost everyone since we aren’t looking at HDR content most of the time we are using the computer. It’s not like the web or any software/app interfaces use it. I like the accurate colors and image quality and the sharpness, but realistically, I could also just be fine with 4k 32” probably and less accurate colors and less color depth.

I myself don’t have the equipment to test the Studio Display’s port wattage, but I can make a logical deduction. Bear with me here. We know that Apple says, with the Studio Display, “you can even fast charge a 14 inch MacBook Pro”. Now, from various sources, I’ve found that the 14 inch MacBook Pro draws 73 W in order to fast charge. That means the Studio Display can deliver at least 73 W of power. However, Apple doesn’t say that it’s capable of fast charging a 16 inch MacBook Pro, and those draw more power (and come with a 140 W adapter instead of a 96 W). So we can assume it can’t deliver much more power than that.

[@loldatfunny]

2:17 most monitors these days come with matte coating pre installed so i think you meant lower contrast + less reflectivity. Glossy = more reflectivity and better contrast. Look up Dave2D's eve spectrum monitor video if you want to see the comparison. Yes that means apple charges extra couple hundred bucks to add matte coating while the entire monitor industry does it out of the box. Meanwhile, PC gamers would love more glossy monitor options but some reason, they decided to completely get rid of it but hopefully it'll come back. There are a few glossy office monitors though but not many.

[@onbquo]

It's not a matte coating. What Apple offers is different and also many matte coatings makes image quality suck.

[@brightboxstudio]

What Apple does is not a coating, and not as coarse as a traditional matte treatment. They etch the glass surface itself, to break up reflections without introducing the image quality compromises of matte plastic or an additional layer of coating. That special process is why it costs so much. But the cost of adding it is more than I would pay.

[@loldatfunny]

@@onbquo you should check side by side of the apple displays. Their "nano-texture" makes the image quality look worse than the cheaper glossy model. it does downgrade the image quality

[@loldatfunny]

​@@brightboxstudio Even if apple has their own method of creating these anti reflective displays, the end result is the same which is less reflective + worse image quality. I will always go for the glossy over their anti-reflective since it's much cheaper and has better image quality

[@brightboxstudio]

@@loldatfunny There are major differences between a matte screen, a glossy screen, a glossy screen with nano-texture etching, and a glossy screen with anti-glare coatings. They cannot all be lumped together, because the end result is not always the same. Matte loses the most contrast, glossy has the most glare. Glossy with etching is effective, but too expensive. Glossy with the proper coatings is a good compromise between contrast and glare, and the coatings are NOT all equal. I have held up different phones against glossy laptop screens with different coatings, and some are much better than others.

Has anybody compared the loudness to a 27" iMac? Like if an iMac was 10/10, how loud is the Studio display? Btw, that webcam is terrible for a monitor of this price with a built in a13 CPU in it! Apparently Apple says they are aware and are working on a firmware fix. Should be interesting. Also should be doable UNLESS they put a really crappy sensor/lens in it, in which case no amount of software tweaking will fix it.

VERY NICE, THX A LOT Max :) Pls kindly compare, if possible, with some new QD-OLED panel by Samsung.

[@toalpap9182]

..as much as I know first available is Dell Alienware AW3423DW. Have may be different target group, lower resolution, but overall excellent picture due to most innovative hightech :)

This display would be perfect if it had an hdmi port cuz I heard there’s no way to connect a ps5 to it (adapters don’t work) and if it had mini led & a stand like the pro xdr or at least make that version available to buy. I like how you can turn it move it or even swap it for a VESA it’s just the flexibility of not being locked into one thing for me.

Trying to decide on one, two, or three studio displays. Anyone tried this? What do you think?

A lot of people hate on the studiodisplay but it is actually a really good value! please keep making mac studio content, your's is way more in depth and unbiased than other youtubers

[@eliaszerano3510]

Yes it can, but not in size. Heck, even a Samsung CRG9 46" gives you more READABLE room especially when using BetterDummy ! I don't want to sit that close to teh screen !

4:11 What I would love to know is do any of those USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports on the back share any bandwidth? I think they'd have to.

Since it's been 2 years, I wonder if Apple will treat the 6K Pro Display XDR like this new 5K display but instead of putting an iPhone's internals inside of it they put an iPad Pro's internals inside instead. I'm REALLY needing a new iPad but I just have this feeling like they're going to update the iPad Pro this year and it might make more sense to wait for the update and then pick up a cheaper last gen iPad Pro or cough up the dough for the newer model if the upgrades seem worth it. I wanna see that M2 goodness!!!

I guess you can spend 400.00 for an adjustable height stand, 90.00 for a riser, or .25 for a book at a garage sale.

[@icantgivecredit871]

I'm just disappointed about the contrast ratio of this display. I wish further development could go into the neglected 5K panel, as 1040:1 is just really lame by today's standards. As I write this, I'm using an Apple display made over a decade ago -- and it has a contrast ratio of 700:1.

[@TravisVarga]

After you get it and have some time with it, you realize how epic it is. My calculations put each inch of height adjustment with the stand is around $100 (4-5 inches), and I'm so happy I paid the Apple tax on it. With the stand its the coolest thing ever; PAY to get the stand and like this video, its a mini XDR in many ways. For a dual monitor setup and a laptop to the side too, its a great size.

[@natjes6017]

The dealbreaker for me is that it is a 27" screen. As I´m used to a 32" (a Philips) the step down is a bit to far.

[@bobbydemosthenis3385]

There’s two of you! Never realised!

[@TJK152]

The only reason that won't get me to buy an apple monitor is the refresh rate. I want promotion so that's why I use a 144hz 1080p gaming monitor with my MacBook pro.

[@safetyfreedom6517]

You still didn’t mention response time and refresh rate , it looks like you’re not allowed to talk about it, but now I got it I will go with LG ultra-wide, it is less built quality and PPI than apple’s but way better form factor, response time and refresh rate

[@stvsueoka1]

Next studio display vs the old LG 5K

[@popebobcat3716]

I saw something about someone suspecting that Apple may make an external GPU. If so, I would expect that to be put inside this monitor. It would basically allow future iPhones or iPads to be your laptop and the “dock” to hook you into heavy duty power as needed.

[@AndersHass]

Those future iPhone needs to ditch lightning connector if they gotta be used for a dock.

[@jackyharuhiko]

You’re thinking too much

[@dskidz99]

Tada!@@AndersHass

[@AndersHass]

@@dskidz99 now they just need to use a standard that can handle PCIe tunneling lol
