Sent me home with a broken monitor they knew about before I left the store and then when I returned they said they didn’t have one to replace the broken one they just sold me twenty mins ago

Just like the first batch of 24” iMacs, it was crooked right out of the box. Great job Apple QA!

Having gone through 2 monitors to work with my Mac mini, I was hesitant about purchasing the Apple Studio Display, primarily due to the cost. However, when Best Buy briefly dropped the price by $300, I was tempted to try it. I can definitively say that this is the best 5K monitor on the market, especially for Mac users. My previous monitors required some set up with their included stands, not that they were particularly difficult. The Studio Display, on the other hand, simply required you to take the monitor out of the box, plug in the Thunderbolt cable and attach the power cable. Any adjustments you needed to make could be performed by using Apple's System Settings menu on your Mac. Unlike the other monitors, there were no controls on the display itself for personal adjustment. The features of the Apple Studio Display include a bright image (600 nits), audio, built-in webcam and, of course, a sharp 5K resolution. As others have stated, the price of this display is problematic. However, when you consider the other alternatives in the market, the Apple Studio Display should be your first choice.

I'm not sure if I received a defective unit, but my display makes this annoying low pitched buzzing noise.

Don’t get it like really dont don’t do it don’t please

I procrastinated buying this monitor for months because of the complaints I read about it. My expectations were low but I love this monitor. The sharpness of the text and colors is amazing. The speakers sound great but I still prefer to use my external speakers for the added bass. There were so many complaints about the web cam. I thought it looked great. It's true that people rush to write a bad review but happy customers rarely take the time to come write a review when they love a product. The only negative is the price but no way do I regret this purchase.

Superb investment!! Definitely a monitor that'll last and keep up with new upcoming advanced Mac upgrades. Incredible resolution and clarity with a very contemporary design throughout. It almost feels like a you're there when configured for 5k viewing, you'll be blown away!!!

Yes, this monitor looks great. However, for $1500+, you are not getting OLED, and you are only getting 60hz display. It has no HDMI inputs. What?? Sorry, I don’t want this to sound crazy, but this monitor should retail for around $500 tops.

I’m an Apple girlie so there’s nothing bad I could ever say. Beautiful monitor…the resolution is insane

Although the price is high for Apple Studio Display but it is all in one (monitor, camera, and speakers). I am not a tech guy. I just want things to work together and not think about them.

Other than the price, the monitor is an excellent and almost a necessary display for any desktop Mac user. Many complaints about it not being mini LED or its size not being bigger are understandable but one must keep in mind the price point, especially that of Apple's. If it was mini-LED and was 32", then it would be $3000+ like the 32" HDR display (not even being a true mini LED). As it is, the 27" is very efficient, bright, and hi-re enough for almost any task. I pair it with the new Mac Studio and it is a perfect match as designed. The speakers are overrated but is handy to be a spare. Sharpness at 5K is very noticeable when a compatible Mac is connected to it. Text is crystal clear, skin tone in photos are excellent. The calibration profiles are useful for different applications and are easy to switch. Apple designed this monitor for the Mac; connection to other non Apple devices limits its features and functionality a great deal. The TB3 connection is stable, efficient, and tidy. I also use the USB-C ports to charge my Magic Keyboard and TouchPad. Overall it's not perfect but a good and relatively affordable Mac display.

I had high hopes for this monitor, and as a “I own everything Apple” guy, I’m sad I have to write this review. For what you get, this monitor is a joke. First off, they seriously couldn’t give us 120hz pro motion? Not to mention virtually all monitors above the $500 price point have a built in KVM switch so you can use it with at least two devices. Big FYI… no physical power or settings adjustment buttons. All monitor adjustments are done via software from your Mac. Same goes for the bulit in camera. This means if you can get it to work with a PC, you’re stuck with default settings. While I appreciate the speakers, they’re not impressive enough for me to replace my current desktop solution (Sonos). What’s more, this is essentially the same monitor intruduced on the 27” iMac in 2017. Yet it retails at just $200 less than what the entire iMac sold for. Pretty obvious the profit margine on this monitor is a big one for Apple. I strongly encourage shoppers to look elsewhere. I ended up getting a 32” Dell Ultra Sharp monitor instead, at nearly half the price of this one. The picture is unmatched compared to the Studio Display. It doesn’t come with a camera or speakers, but I would rather pair my monitor with nicer ones anyway.

Got this monitor as a refurbished item and it essentially was brand new with still the original packaging and screen protector on it. So it was a great deal and saved me more than $400 during the promotional period over President's Day.

Awesome screen!!! The color and resolution are fantastic. So much easier on my eyes whether steaming or coding!

A good friend of mine told me once you go mac you wont go back to regular PC.. looking to buy my second display incredible… definitely would recommend anyone

Its been a long time looking for a best looking monitor. So finally i found this one on best buy store. Love the apple monitor will have it for long time.

Wow! The Studio Display is exactly what I needed. The best screen resolution I’ve ever seen!

I Love it , it 's Excellent and I recommend it one hundred percent

It's pricey, but the overall quality is very good

Display has completely died twice. It is covered by Apple Care but took a month to get it fixed the first time. Still waiting on the second. Nice when it works
