Amazon today has the Apple Studio Display for $1,299.99, down from $1,599.00, which is a match of the all-time low price on the monitor. This is the standard glass version of the Studio Display with the tilt adjustable stand, and Amazon also has a few other models on sale as well.

You can get the standard glass model with the VESA Mount Adapter for $1,299.99, down from $1,599.00, but there isn't currently a sale on the tilt- and height-adjustable stand model. In regards to the VESA model, this is a match of the all-time low price on the display.



If you want to upgrade to the nano-texture glass option, Amazon also has this model of the Studio Display on sale. It's available for $1,599.00, down from $1,899.00, which is a second-best price on the Studio Display with nano-texture glass.

The Studio Display features a 27-inch 5K retina display with a 5120 x 2880 resolution and up to 600 nits of brightness. Apple says that the standard display is engineered for "extremely low reflectivity," but for rooms where there is a lot of glare, Apple suggests the nano-texture glass option with even less reflectivity.

That's a good price ($1,299) and value. Being a photographer and very fussy about color, I love my Studio Display and use it everyday processing photos in Lightroom. The only one better is Apple's Pro Display XDR, but didn't want to pay the price.
 
As noted, the price has been going down pretty regularly...it's been at this price for the past couple weeks when I've checked. I have one in my wish list, eventually I plan to replace a 30" Cinema Display but I'm waiting either for a big price drop or the next generation. It would be nice to have a bit bigger display even with the DPI going down, I don't use mine in Retina resolution but a step higher for the extra room. It still looks great at that point, but it would be nice to have the actual display a bit larger without having to spend $5k.
 
Been this price even at Best Buy off and on. Waiting for the sale to hit the tilt and hight adjustable.

A big difference is that the Best Buy sale never includes the VESA Adapter version or it sells out immediately. The VESA mount version is typically the hardest one to get your hands on.

I waited and waited for that one to be discounted. I finally gave up in January and got one at full price. I've enjoyed my monitor so no regrets.

Correct. The 2016 LG 5K is 90% of what this monitor is for $400 on eBay (minus the gorgeous aluminum frame)

It's slightly less bright, the sound isn't as good, the webcam is even worse, and a lot of the ones produced have image retention problems. It's also bulkier and takes up more space. I have both. The LG is still a great monitor, but the Apple Studio is a significantly better product.
