Standard Glass Apple Studio Display for $1,249.00 ($350 OFF)​

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.

I hope this means a new Studio Display will be released very soon.

 

[Nik]

Considering the specs, it is still horrendously overpriced, even after the discount.

 

[carrrrrlos]

Apple having so many sales these days.

 

[citysnaps]

That's an outstanding deal! Especially if you're a photographer, fussy about color, and need to make prints that are accurate first time every time, with zero futzing around. For everyone else, find happiness with a Dell or LG.

Wish I needed another one...

 

[ericesque]

Oh wow! Now it’s affordable!

 

[guci0]

In polish Amazon there is not even!!! 🤯 Finger cross for new release.

 

[Lwii2boo]

Imagine spending that kind of money for a 60Hz monitor in 2025. xdd

How does 120hz help with photo work?

It's really not. I can't find anything close to it without spending more.

And no 4k doesn't cut it.

Can you pinpoint to a 5K monitor with a refresh rate faster than 60 Hz? The only one I can think of is Viewsonic VP2788-5K, which has 75 Hz refresh rate at $849.99 MSRP. I am not sure 75 Hz is appreciably better than 60 Hz though.

 

[Enlightened Doggo]

Hmm but only the ergonomically challenged SKU. I've been eying the BenQ PD2730S as an alternative, but it doesn't seem like many reviewers have gotten their hands on it yet.

 

[tonykariotis]

Still about $500-$700 over priced. Its by far the best monitor in its category, but a top monitor shouldnt be over the $700 range. Its 2025.

M4 Macs are selling for less.

 

[Shaggymax]

In the market for a 5K Display to pair with MBP 16" M4 and options super limited...LG, Asus, Samsung...keep coming back to this...too bad I already have an iMac Pro 5K that is worth $800 with the same screen...WTF??

Its an Amazon sale. Apple sell its at full price. Best Buy has had it discounted to $1299 for months now.

 

[tonykariotis]

Best Buy has it on sale for months now.

Speaking of which, does anyone here have experience using newer iMacs as second screens for M1 MacBooks? I have beefy personal and work laptops already.

iMacs don't work as a standalone display anymore, stopped with the move to Retina.

How does 120hz help with photo work?

It's not the point. For the price asked it should have 120hz. Sure it's not targeting gamers ofc but many creatives professional could benefit from 120hz. It's ok since the product is kind of old now but if the new one is still 60Hz Apple will stay omega niche in the monitor market.

Don't get me wrong I know color accuracy and build quality are great on Studio Display but this product sold poorly for a reason.

Apple used to prevent their resellers from discounting their products. That seems to have all changed in recent years.

Apple used to support this feature: Target display mode
...Conveniently axed

 

[mashdots]

Great! About $700 to go before its a reasonable price to pay.

 

[OliverL]

Still waiting for the Asus 6K 32’’ monitor at the same price or even below $1000 with a discount.

Apple could do with a 24” external display to give Mac mini users a reasonably priced option. They could save R&D by using the existing display in the iMac rather than having to develop a new one.

Exactly this! Not only that, but the build quality and value it retains too!
