Apple Studio Display - Owners Thread

[MacGizmo]

Sadly, the more options that show up out there, the more I want Apple to just release an updated Studio Display (27" or 32").

I've lost track of the number of monitors I've tried since the ASD was launched and I keep coming back to the ASD. For me, it's the best all-round monitor for using with my Mac.

• I'd like a better webcam - I'm assuming this will come in the refresh
• I'd like a larger screen rather than having to have two of them - this won't happen
• Screen brightness, quality and available resolutions are brilliant for productivity
• Speakers are ok, better than other monitors and more than good enough if you don't want standalone speakers
• Connectivity if you have a Mac is good - all the thunderbolt you need. It's crap for anything else though! Apple won't change this

I would definitely be more tempted by a 3rd party monitor if macOS font scaling was better. As it is, a lot of the larger, higher resolution screens out there are useless to me because if you run them at their max resolutions, they're unusable with macOS.

I’d get an Apple monitor instantly if they supported more than 1 input.

As it is right now you have to either unplug its cable to switch between 2 computers or add expensive hubs into the mix.

It is the only thing putting me off from getting one.

Regarding the resolution scaling, there are already multiple monitors that match the resolutions/ppi of both the Studio Display and the Pro XDR, but none have the same build quality, image quality or features like the webcam and decent speakers. But I’m willing to trade those things just to be able to switch between my multiple Macs easily.
