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

My guess is this model isn't meant for larger studios would pay extra for a larger 30" display. Rather aimed at one and two person environments to pair with a M1 Mac mini or MacBook Air.
This 27" probably will still cost $1500 at best which in itself is not cheap.
Depends on how thin it is, but I am thinking "yes".
Speakers are a given and a webcam seems very likely, as well. It is said to have thicker bezels than the Pro Display XDR and that would be required to integrate a webcam.
It is possible the source of the leaks did not know the port configuration so they just omitted ports on the render.
Note their Mac Studio renders did not show the back.
I see no reason why Apple would release a monitor for "studio use" that did not have a VESA mount considering how common they are in studios.
Stand sold separately for $249.
The exact display I am wanting is basically the new iMac format, minus the Mac (and associated chin).
If that configuration lands at $999, I'm in the moment ordering opens.
Why do I get the feeling we'll be looking at $1,499?
My aging eyesight requires a 32in.
The current 32in while stunning is basically $6k and I just won't get the value out of that with it's nano-texture glass and world-beating color accuracy. I just need to replace my 30in Dell with something better. Was a 32in Apple display under $2k too much to hope for? Sure seems that way...

Apparently so, three articles on the site from one click bait video from a You Tuber with no credibility on leaks.
The question really, is how much the stand is going to be - and if it will be compatible with the XDR display.
The LG 5k hasn't really moved in price since release, correct? I could imagine Apple deciding to undercut it and keep this one at $999 for a while. It gives them room above this to offer either a 32" or a miniLED 27", or both.
That said: I'm looking at the power plug in the rendering, and I'm pretty sure this is fake. It looks like the rendering takes a standard 3-prong power cable, which is a) too deep to use in this enclosure, and b) requires an internal power supply, which is unlikely given how slim this monitor is. Rendering would've looked better with a MagSafe port on the back, quite frankly.
I recently picked up a used Thunderbolt Display, so probably not in the market for a new 5k display, but who knows - if it's actually priced reasonably, I may offer my 27" Viewsonic to the wife...

30-34" at "4k" UHD... so < 150 ppi.
Apple displays are more like 220ppi (218.7 for the 24" iMac) and Apple tend to keep the DPI constant-ish when they increase the size. A new 27" would most likely be 5k. So a 30" display would be 5.5k, and we know the existing 32" display is 6k. The question then becomes how much a larger-than-27" 5.5k display would cost if this is going to be the "affordable" option.
...meanwhile there are rumours of a new premium-priced display to replace the XDR, if you want a really big screen. Or you could stick with 4k and go third party (which I'd certainly consider).
Looks a lot like a 24" iMac, so those renders are hardly surprising. Still very limited adjustability c.f. almost any 3rd party display (and probably a hefty surcharge for a VESA version if you want something better - because putting 4 threaded boltholes on the back is apparently rocket science (...I guess that's true if you have to make it so thin).
Also, where are the speakers and USB-C ports going to go? In the 24" iMac, they're in the chin.
27" is almost 30% larger than 24". It's nowhere near the same size. I don't know how you are defining popular, but 27" is much more common than 32" monitors which have far lower PPI. Getting a 32" 4K display is like getting a 27" 1080p monitor.
As for studios, the quality of the panel is far more important. I can't speak for color-accurate work as well as some other people on here, but for medical use, a larger display is far less important than PPI and consistent brightness across the panel.
You can buy 24inch iMac for 1299$ or 1199$ after some seasonal discounts so I cant see how charging 1000$ for 27inch monitor alone is reasonable. For 1000$ you can already buy quite a decent 5k monitor which probably would have the same panel that apple will be using. Hope this monitor has some hardware acceleration which may justify going for Apple product.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????
A $1,000 27"-30" monitor looks like an insta-buy for me.
...If this is true i'll let my eyebrows grow out to be as bushy as Luke's.

If it's as thin as the renders show, then yes a power brick is a must. There's no technology available that would allow to include the necessary electrical components in a display this thin.
A power brick is the price you pay for Apple's continued quest for thinness.
Yeah, admittedly I have a 32" QHD monitor that I picked up for around $400, so I'd have trouble justifying $1000, even though it is higher resolution (and probably better calibrated).
I’m tempted, because it looks better than the iMac design.
But I want the iMac Pro for the all-in-one design, including speakers and microphone. And it could potentially have a better display with mini LED and ProMotion.
Stop making me wait, Apple!

Please please Pleaaaase include a VESA mount. Many of us would like to place and orientate an LCD where we choose!
It better not
