Apple this month began selling certified refurbished Studio Display XDR models in the U.S. for the first time since the display was released in March. Availability extends to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, and select other countries.

A refurbished Studio Display XDR with a VESA mount adapter and standard glass is priced at $2,459, down from $2,899 for the equivalent new configuration. This amounts to a 15% discount, which is typical for Apple's refurbished products.

A refurbished model with a tilt- and height-adjustable stand and standard glass is priced at $2,799, down from $3,299, which is likewise a 15% discount.

Refurbished models with nano-texture glass are also available at a discount.

Apple says it puts refurbished products through "full functionality testing" and a "thorough cleaning process and inspection," and they are covered by Apple's one-year limited warranty and eligible for extended AppleCare+ coverage. In our view, Apple's own refurbished devices are virtually indistinguishable from brand-new devices.

The refurbished models come in a plain white box with a Thunderbolt 5 Pro cable.

The Studio Display XDR features a 27-inch screen with mini-LED backlighting, 5K resolution, peak brightness of 2,000 nits for HDR content, and up to a 120Hz refresh rate. The display has a 12-megapixel Center Stage camera, six speakers, two Thunderbolt 5 ports with one providing up to 140W pass-through charging, and two USB-C ports.

Did Apple ever offer a refurb Pro Display XDR? That I would have bought, or at least would have a few months ago. My ProArt 6K is doing the same job for far less (not a video editor; just need it for massive screen real estate)
 
Still very costly but with prices of all products increasing, can be a good deal if one is considering to buy this one.

I literally had a XDR in my Apple cart today. Thanks god for ADHD because I started doomscrolling and found this article! LOL
 
I purchased a refurb 27” Cinema display in 2010 and it’s been in perfect working condition until today. It’s connected to my M2 Mac Mini via adapter.
I want the 30" Cinema Display from years ago. Thing is practically ancient in today's world but I heard it still looks good and it's a lot cheaper than an XDR, used or not.

Oh, who am I kidding? I still want the $1500 new one...

The 30" Cinema Display sure was eye-catching back then. From the modern perspective it's "only" 2560x1600, about 100ppi, but the biggest problem for today is that is needs Dual-Link DVI.

I have the same problem on some 27" 1440p monitors, as GPUs these days don't have Dual-Link DVI anymore. There are adapters for DisplayPort (I have one) but it's not as cheap or as reliable as you'd hope.
