Customer Ratings & Reviews

I need to show large detailed spreadsheets, and side-by-side projects. Was using a high quality 4K display for this, and thought my eye sight had deteriorated. Turned out it hadn’t (per my eye doctor). It was about how a 5K display is vastly better than a 4K ditto. I had previously used a 5K iMac, and thought that was the benchmark until I saw this screen. Yes, same resolution, but this one is more clear. It just stands out from any other display. “Outrageous price,” but I have to reluctantly admit it is worth it. I also compared this Standard glass version with the even more expensive Nano glass version; found that for my office there was no need for Nano glass because the windows light doesn’t reflect from the screen into my eyes. So I saved $200, and haven’t regretted it since

I purchased this Apple Studio Display to go with the Apple Mac Studio computer, this display is expensive but it is high quality and designed to work with Apple Mac computers. It has building speakers that sound good, it has built in microphones and it has a web cam built in.

I've been very pleased with the quality of this display. While a little on the pricier side, it was well worth the money. Much like all Apple Products. It feels hefty and looks great on my desk. I shuffle between two MacBooks daily and switching from one to the other with this display is no issue at all.

This monitor is an excellent purchase. The sound is spectacular, the video quality is excellent, the camera resolution is magnificent, it is worth what it asks for, its aluminum design makes it look like a monitor for life, its port options are excellent for connecting devices.

Its everything you would expect from apple. Solid build. Great design. Wonderful sound. The camera could be much better and so could the price point. It’s not significantly better than the iMac 27” it is replacing….. but out with the old and in with the new. Looks good with my studio ultra

Excellent Monitor. Bright vivid colors, sounds great and extra ports. Design and quality top notch. Love it.

An excellent main screen for an an iPad or Mac. Colors are top notch, and one cord for everything. A great webcam, and light sensors mean your MacBook can stay closed all the time.

Beautiful display! I just replaced my Apple Thunderbolt Display with the Studio Display. The new design is just outstanding. The display is expensive and not for everyone, but for those looking for a beautiful display for your Macbook Pro, I would highly recommend this.

I love the quality of this display. There may be cheaper alternatives, but as someone fully in the Apple universe, I love just plugging my MacBook Pro into the display and it works seamlessly. The speakers work well, and I like that I can have my Time Machine backup drive, and a few other accessories plugged in that means I don't need to plug in multiple things when I dock my laptop. The size is nice at 27 inches, and colors look good. It was a significant upgrade from the 21.5" iMac this replaced. While the camera might not be the best webcam out there, I've had no issues, and compared to the 2017 iMac it does seem like an improvement. Overall, I'm glad I bought this display.

Apple really did a great job on the quality of the display. It’s not cheap but you get what you pay for! Highly recommend it for businesses that need this type of display.

This apple monitor is the best monitor I’ve ever owned. You have to see it to believe the clarity it provides and the sound is like having a stereo attached. Seeing and hearing is believing!

This guy is hooked to a MacBook Pro Late 2020 M1 and the image quality is very, very good. I have been using the (2012) Apple Cinema Display for the past 10 years, which has held up very well. Nice to have the extra ports in the back on this one as well, since my laptop only has a couple of ports. Currently hardwiring ethernet into the back of the monitor with a BestBuy (Platinum™ - USB-C to Ethernet Adapter - White) which so far is working very well. I see this monitor as an improved, next generation monitor with better sound, better video and better resolution and would expect another ten years out of it easily.

There are 1,000,001 YouTube reviews out there and most of them give same conclusion which I agree with. The display is crystal clear (with the glossy), sharp, crisp, etc... etc... I come from a 4k LG matte and although I'm paying more than twice for this, to me it's worth it. The 60Hz doesn't bother me for my needs (productivity). And to me, the blacks look like oled, even though it's not. Brightness is as good as all those reviews. I am happy with it.

The best display for your mac. Excellent quality and good design. I had an imac 5k and wanted the same quality on my external display. This display produces the same quality as my imac. I use it for my macbook pro (m1 pro). It also has good sound from the speakers. The only thing missing is 120hz and deep black like on my macbook.

The highest quality 5K screen to date. If you're wondering why 5K is important it's for 2 reasons. Retina/HiDPI and viewing angle. What that means is you have 4x the pixel density of a 2560x1440 monitor, meaning you can run "scaled" 1440p resolution with 4 times the clarity, which allows lots of workspace and proper scaling. This can NOT be done properly on a 4K screen, which is what many of the haters are saying is a better value. Try both side by side and make up your own mind. Your eyes will thank you for it! Also, being 5K means it's larger than 4K so you can have a video at full 4K while having menus and toolbars out of the frame (I'm not a video editor but I know plenty). Lastly, the viewing angle which Apples glossy screen surface actually allows better edge to edge clarity with less washout. Believe me, these screens are so easy to work with and I own dozens of screens, workstations and TV's (A 5K OLED would give it a run for it's money but they don't exist and an 8K doesn't scale properly and are too large for workstations anyhow). Speakers are great as far as monitor speakers go. Yes, there are better webcams but I didn't buy this for that purpose as this is a "work" monitor not a giant Siri/iPad/toy. This monitor wants to be run on Monterey, but works on BigSur without full integration.

You won’t regret it if you buy it. Very bright display and with 6 speakers the sound quality is superb. If I have extra money, I would buy another one.

amazing monitor - thought I’d dislike that it didn’t have mini led or higher refresh rate but the screen is super crisp and easy to do work on

I bought this as a normal person that uses my computer for just regular work (no photos, not a youtuber, etc). It completes my dream setup for my desk. I have the Mac M1 Mini and just added this monitor and it is beautiful. The text and colors just pop off the display and it was packaged beautifully, easy to setup. I didn't need anymore height, I think it is plenty tall. I've wanted a 5k monitor for awhile gut settled for the LG 24 4k with my Mac Mini and this just blows it out of the water. I am so happy with this display. I know the "pro" are griping about many things with this display, but I cannot afford the Pro XDR nor never will--this was pushing it and thankfully I had a couple items I could trade in to use toward it. I love it and think it is great! The build quality is beautiful, speakers sound great for me and what I do, I only use the webcam occasionally. So, I'm a normal person that wanted to splurge on me and get something I wanted. That is who this monitor is for.

Amazing color and clarity. A bit on the pricey side

High resolution and great color accuracy. Works well with Mac computers. I like the high resolution camera. Superior speakers
