I’m trying to decide whether to go with the Mac Studio Display or this Samsung S9. The fact that I’m not instantly jumping on this sale is probably telling.

I really love my ASD, but the S9 does have some advantages that could matter to me that has me thinking of getting one for my other setup.

  • Has Display Port - for connecting “older” or PC systems if needed
  • Better Windows/Linux Support - again for those other systems
  • Anti-Glare Screen. Depending on room this could be a big advantage.
  • Height Adjustable. Again depending on setup this is an advantage. I’ve been thinking of getting an adjustable standing desk.
  • Price - at ~$1K that is quite a bit less than the lowest price I’ve seen the ASD for (I got mine through Costco when they had it for $1299)
There are a few others that I don't really care about so didn't list. My advice is that if none of those matter, just spend the extra $ on the ASD.

Finally. Let's see Samsung make this price more widespread (I mean not even on their own site? Come on.) and get the pricing on this display would be where it should have been from the start.

I know it doesn't have the same build quality as the ASD and there's all that problematic "smart display" software garbage, but it is a direct competitor to the ASD, and hopefully that means price competition.

Studio Display is probably in my top 3 Apple products of all time. Extremely over hated. It’s beautiful and all the details are great. True Tone, OS-level brightness control, and instant wake are extremely underrated features. The webcam is meh but the speakers are awesome.

I think it makes sense at this price point. The normal price really does not compete with the Studio Display if you have a Mac.

Thinking the same thing. When the time comes to upgrade from my M1 iMac, I would still probably pick the Studio Display just because it's a lot nicer and I would anticipate having it on my desk for 5 years. Still, though, at this price it becomes a bit harder of a choice.

Everyone should also realize you can often get the Studio Display refurbished from Apple for ~$300 off the full price. https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished/mac/display

I just want Apple to come out with a 32” 6K Studio display. I know they have that XDR display but that is just too much. We need a version that doesn’t quite go so hard. I mean, OLED isn’t that crazy expensive nowadays. One can dream.

I went for dual Studio Display setups, refurbished, and returned them as soon as I saw the webcams in my environment. Looked great to me at Best Buy.

B&H has both the ASD and LG Ultrafine 5K discounted by $150 right now, so base ASD is $1450 but LG is $950 so $500 less. Wondering if it'd be worth it to get the LG instead, that's a significant (almost 35%) savings! If all I want is a monitor (don't care about speakers or webcam, only plan on using it with Macs) what would be the advantages of the ASD that make it worth spending $500 more?

i’ve had the display for a year and never even turned on the webcam🤷‍♂️ I’m sure its better than the one in my 2017 imac… and if not could always use continuity camera. Still the only monitor worth buying for Mac
