Cheaper 27-Inch 'Studio Display' Reportedly Coming at Tomorrow's Apple Event

[MacRumors]

Apple's long-awaited consumer-level display, reportedly set to be called the "Studio Display," will launch tomorrow during Apple's "Peek Performance" event, according to a new rumor from YouTuber Luke Miani.

In a video showcasing renders alleged to be the upcoming "Mac Studio," Miani also shares renders of the "Studio Display." According to the YouTuber who has an unverified track record when it comes to sharing Apple's plans, the display will measure 27-inches in size with slightly larger bezels than the Pro Display XDR and no rear pattern. The renders show a design similar to Apple's 24-inch iMac, but with a black front bezel and without any visible external ports, although one port would be required for connecting to a computer.

Yesterday, renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said he expects Apple to release a consumer-level display in a 27-inch size without mini-LED this year, and if today's rumor turns out to be true, it'll launch as soon as tomorrow. Today's rumor sheds no light on the potential price of the display, but a price tag around $1,000 seems reasonable given its rumored specifications.

Apple's event will kick off at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time on Tuesday, March 8. In addition to being streamed on YouTube, the event can also be watched through the events webpage and in the Apple TV app. If you're unable to watch, you can tune in to MacRumors on the site or through our MacRumorsLive Twitter account.

If its $1000 I'll get it on day one. Please be good to us

 

[Jack Burton]

It's gonna have a power brick, isn't it?

 

[uller6]

I've been waiting so long!

 

[DaveBreen]

Nice...would like like to see them make a 32", but 27" sounds good. Lots of folks will probably get excited about the cost, but if its anything like the Cinema displays, it will probably be worth a premium price tag.

 

[JahBoolean]

I am ready

 

[adamjackson]

I dare you, Apple.

So we are using unverified click bait YouTubers as actual news now?

We're entering a new golden era of Apple hardware.

Two questions: 1) How much will this monitor cost? and 2) Many of us are waiting for the 27" Apple Silicon iMac; what's taking so long?

 

[RedTheReader]

I sure hope this rumor's true. A few years back I ended up getting the LG 5K because it was the nicest thing that scaled well at 2x at 27" (so that text didn't look too big). It would be nice to get a similar resolution but with 120Hz and VRR support. miniLED would've been a bonus, but it's not something I'm personally hung up on.

If it's just a nicer looking LG 5K (aka, 5K iMac screen) though, I think it's a little too late for that. I know a lot of people wanted that, but it would essentially just be a 5 year old screen in a new, prettier housing.

If it’s anywhere around the price of the LG Ultrafine, I will be ordering day 1.

 

[nwcs]

I wonder how it will compare to the LG UltraFine 5K? That is one seriously nice monitor.

 

[5097842]

Hopefully with a built-in webcam and speakers.

 

[Barabas]

My Apple Thunderbolt monitor is excited to see retirement.

 

[4jasontv]

That mini is so phat.

I’m not sure if you noticed but this is macrumors, and it’s nice to finally get some Mac rumors for a change!

I just wish it had inputs beyond thunderbolt.

I want a high quality 5K 27" monitor that I can switch between my Mac (as a second monitor) and my Windows desktop.

 

[4jasontv]

Today's rumor sheds no light on the potential price of the display, but a price tag around $1,000 seems reasonable given its rumored specifications.

What specifications is that exactly?

 

[everlast3434]

Please let this be true!

 

[erikkfi]

I’m surprised and delighted. I’m also intrigued at how that second render apparently shows it’ll be compatible with the first generation PowerPC Mac Mini.

 

[Kylo83]

The issue is if it’s not 120hz then it won’t be worth it, having a bigger display worse than the new 16” isn’t good, so because the MacBook has mini led for hdr and 120hz the display has to match

 

[topgunn]

Both of these are an instant buy for me. A modern 27" display at $1000 would sell like hotcakes.

 

[CC77]

If it's got a built in webcam and under $2k then it's an immediate buy

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

$1000 seems to be a reasonable price. We will find out tomorrow
