Studio Display

The "new" Studio Display is dead on arrival. It's a lcd 5k 60hz panel for $1599, while there are plenty of high refresh rate miniled 5k panels for like half the price. Apple really fumbled with this one

I want to point out the M5 macbook pro has only TB4, while the M4Pro/Max macbooks have TB5. This might affect you if you're planning to run 5k/6k@120hz displays which would require TB5. The rumoured studio display, if it does have 120hz, might require this (or a hacky 2x plug into the tb4 ports). Th

Yeah I don’t get it. A Mac Studio should have plenty of room for multiple m.2 drives but yet we have to have external drives or enclosures sitting on the desk next to the Mac. I love Apple but they are ridiculous with this. I want a Mac Pro specifically for the ability to add storage or whatever int

My favourite is iPhone Air, or 5c if we can go back that far. I simply like the feel when holding them. Least favourite is Studio Display as well, that crappy 60hz is just terrible if you’ve seen anything decent.

The thing is, it’s not that it’s inherently bad. It’s that we should be able to get a whole lot more for that price point.

If they Dell ever makes a 5k 120hz, it will 100% be one of my options for upgrading my Studio Display. Yes, I may potentially lose some connectivity features with the Mac but

One thing that surprised me when I tried my Studio Display XDRs is that they have a surprisingly slow wake up time. Probably a few seconds at least. My assumption before I bought them is that they would have had a near instant wake up time, considering their tight ecosystem integration with my Mac.

Generally, my experience using the old studio display on Mac just wasn’t ideal. I also really don’t recommend these Apple monitors as gaming monitors because the studio display xdr but also the original studio display and new version of the bass studio display seemingly do no overdrive so everything

I don't think they care about increasing number of customers on this product, just like the 2026 Studio Display still having 60 Hz. 😂

The edge lit 60Hz one input studio display is 3200 NZD…. Probably the worst value product apple sells atm. The XDR is like 7k lol, more than my macbook pro and gaming PC put together. Not quite the same segment as a slightly larger imac
