Thank you for checking.
This makes me believe that the refresh rate is locked to 60 hz which is a bummer (for me)

Oops. My mistaken overlooking of that vital detail.Thank you, I know that for the MBP M1 Pro/Max and Apple Pro Display XDR but I was asking for the 27" APPLE STUDIO DISPLAY
Testing out a new ASD from the refurb store and it is as gorgeous a screen as my imac 27" 5K retina, thought the speakers are a massive upgrade. The screen does look a bit better than even the 5K, maybe apple improved the color application and uniformity.
How does the Studio Display compare in overall quality to the 16" (M1 Pro) MacBook Pro's display?
Haven't gotten that far yet, still comparing the ASD to the $300 Samsung UJ59 32" to see if the additional $1,050 is justified, and so far the answer is yes. There is no question, the ASD is an incredible monitor - the best I've ever owned.
For my uses (which granted, aren’t all that demanding) I would say they are comparable as far as image quality is concerned. The one thing that really bugs me in this comparison is the lack of ProMotion. Scrolling websites is so much better on the MacBook.
Edit: Sorry, comparing to the 14”, not the 16”.
I measured my tilt only ASD and it's 4 5/8" from the table top to the bottom of the monitor's frame. I don't have a height adjust model to tell you but I think it could go lower 1" and higher 3" but wait until someone with that ASD can confirm.
the height-adjustable doesn't go any lower unfortunately
An issue that is commonly overlooked in the ASD with the adjustable height stand is that when it is lowered, the screen moves closer to you as it is on a hinge, so your distance from the screen changes as you raise/lower the monitor.
I found out the link below that Apple says it's OK to use Clorox wipe to use on the display.
support.apple.com
Did anyone try to use such wipe to clean ASD? I used it for iPad and MacBook, but I am not sure if ASD is OK, though.

Just use WHOOSH. It’s what they use in Apple stores.I found out the link below that Apple says it's OK to use Clorox wipe to use on the display.

Interesting. Never heard of that brand, but think I will try it. Does Apple use the wipes or the spray?
One inch. (Someone may have answered this already but I happen to have a tape measure on my desk.)
Thanks! I was hoping it would go lower as the standard stand is a tad taller than what I would like. I could try tilting the screen inwards to get the camera angle I want, but then that looks weird.
With center stage you don't need to worry about that, the camera is always at a good angle in my experience. Unlike the iMac I had before which was aimed too low and I had to til the screen up every time so be somewhat in the center.
I hope that the mount for the Studio Display allows for a side mount instead of just top mount. And implement a swivel adjustment too. I think a side mount would make the sightline much better.
I have the exact setup you mentioned. Apart from no ProMotion which can be a little disturbing when moving between displays, there's really not much to complain about. Both displays looks great and I mainly use the Studio Display when doing work due to the screen size.
Go for it if you're on the fence. The speakers is something to brag about to be honest. It's better than the 16 inch m1 Macbook itself.
I highly suggest just using a damp cloth (just water). I don't know what kind of grime y'all are getting on your ASDs but I've never had anything I couldn't get off with just water, and it's the safest thing to use.
Ummm I eat in front of my screen. Sometimes I get a lil messy. 🥴
Seriously, a soft, old 100% cotton t-shirt slightly moistened and another one to dry off the excess water will be more than sufficient to get our ASDs looking all happy, shiny and new again. That's what I've always used.
Has anyone experience computer crash after upgrading to Ventura? I use two MacBook Pros, personal and work, whenever I switch, the computer would crash/restart. This even happens with iPad Pro (after upgrading to 16)
I think this belongs in the Ventura forum but my M1 Studio, M1 iMac, and M1 MBAir all work just fine, no crashing.
