This would be wonderful! My wife’s Cinema Display is still in use and still looks amazing. Bought it new from B&H a little over 10 years ago. Looking forward to an updated product that will carry us with a beautiful display for the next 10-15 years.
 
A good and not eyewateringly expensive Apple display might well push me back toward using a Mini again. I switched over to iMac some years back and while it's all very convenient and pretty, I would really rather decouple the display from the computer so they can be upgraded on separate timelines.

I got rid of my 2014 iMac 5K earlier this year because it was getting horribly slow under Catalina -- but the display itself was still totally usable, and in fact nicer than the one on the M1 iMac I replaced it with.

You could have used the Luna Display dongle to use your 5k iMac as the primary or second display.

Knowing Apple

$999 for 24" Display

$1499 for 27" Mini LED Display

$4999 for 32" XDR Display
This wouldn't surprise me at all. Weirdly iMacs have always been priced not much higher than a comparable standalone display. The 5K iMac, for instance, barely cost more than the LG monitors which supposedly had the same panels in them.
 
And I was just looking into monitor options for a second display... looks like patience is my virtue! As long as their option doesn't break the bank, of course...
 
Apple uses some killer displays in their products, no wonder the upcoming displays will be one of the best on the market as well.

Huge shame tho, they will be pretty limited for Windows users, as always.
 
Well, good idea! I would also recommend creating long curved monitors!
An ultrawide? Absolutely! I purchased a Samsung Thunderbolt 34" monitor because I love the form factor but also because it is Thunderbolt with power delivery and mimics as close as possible the functionality of the previous generation Apple TB monitors (minus the camera and network port). Single cable convenience to a MacBook Pro really rocks, and I'm very happy with the display quality for my needs.

While I rather have a 32 display, that price point moves me into buying two 27. I’m hopeful the 27 will be at 6K resolution and the 32 probably at 8k?
Also, please give the Nano screen ($500 max) option on all models. I cant stand the glare on the regular screens.

Dell has a 24" USB-C 1440p monitor for under $350. While the extra pixels are nice, there's definitely an Apple tax included with that monitor/price.

Well 1440P panel are affordable. 4K panel are expensive. The comparison has to be Apple to Apple. ( no pun intended ).

The price of the previous Apple Thunderbolt Display was $999.

I expect these to be around that much. So $899 for 24", and $1099 for 27".

That actually makes more sense in terms of pricing. Considering other market competitors are selling it at $500. I have zero idea for BOM cost of these panel ( way too niche ). So it is a little hard to judge in terms of margin.
 
Planning to retire my 27 2017 iMac in the next 12-18 months, having a similar quality standalone screen would be a welcomed option as I've been pondering going the mini route vs iMac, but I'm not in a rush so look forward to 2022 to introduce some good products
 
Awesome news, though really wish the upcoming larger iMac and larger display were 30-32 instead of 27.
The 21.5 became a 24", so I do wonder if it will be a 30-32" monitor and iMac coming as 27" isn't a massive jump over 24" and knowing Apple these monitors will be around for a very long time so it would make sense for them to go larger.

Built-in webcam would be nice too. I know there's reasons around security as to why there's maybe not one on the XDR, but if these are aimed at customers not working in those environments (or "less Pro" Pros) then it would make sense to put one in.

if these models don't have faceID, it's going to be a long time before we see it in the next gen, hopefully...
