Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the excellent display quality, high resolution, and impressive speakers as significant strengths of the Studio Display. Many also appreciate its elegant design and ease of use. However, the high price point and the 60Hz refresh rate are common criticisms. Some users also express concerns about the limitations of the stand and the non-removable power cord.

    Bought it to connect to my MacBook Pro for photo editing while when I'm at home and so far it has been great!

    Top notch display!

    As usual, this Apple product is top notch! It is made with recycled aluminum and can be completely recycled at the end of its life. The solidly built case and stand are sturdy and reliable. It looks good while providing excellent service. The 27” 5K Retina display is brilliant with 600 nits of brightness, 1 billion colors, and P3 wide color band, making it the best high-resolution monitor in its class. It works perfectly with Mac computers and laptops, factory calibrated for perfect rendition of any photographs or creative art. The super fast refresh rate also makes video editing and game play a real-time, stutter-free experience. I highly recommend this monitor for all Mac users. It is the best monitor you can buy.

    It's honestly inexcusable that a tilt/swivel feature does not come standard or a method to easily use your own VESA mount. For this price you should be able to use this monitor as complete hub/dock replete with every type of port you would need, i.e. Ethernet. If you can get over all the things this doesn't offer and just appreciate it for what it does well like quality of screen, decent camera, surprisingly good speakers, and seamless integration with Apple devices— you'll be satisfied.

    Like everyone, the price made me consider other options, but I’m glad I opted to spend the money on the Studio monitor. The picture is what you’d expect it to be. The speakers are great. It’s also a thunderbolt hub. Just buy it.

    Best display by Apple EVER

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    YES, it is very expensive. YES, it only has 4 Thunderbolt ports on the back. YES, you could get a cheaper 4k monitor with decent specs and probably be okay. BUT if you live in the Apple ecosystem like I do (2 MBPs, 1 MM, several iOS devices) then this is the ONLY display that provides seamless connectivity and interoperability for all of your Apple devices. The display is GORGEOUS and exceeds all of my expectations when it comes to color reproduction and brightness (during video and photo work), has an incredible sounds system built-in (for YouTube videos, Apple Music listening, and video calls), and can be updated / improved through firmware updates and improvements. The camera generated a lot of commentary, but I find it to be superior to all of the webcams I've used before and is slated to get even better with firmware updates and Center Stage. It took me a while to convince myself it was worth the hefty price tag, but I have ZERO regrets about taking the plunge. I owned the Apple Thunderbolt Display for 10 years prior to replacing it with this new Studio Display, so I anticipate that this will be in my studio for many, many years to come.

    If you do not have a mac, do not buy this monitor. You will be unable to change any settings....and there is NO power button. You must have a mac in order to get any functionality out of this over-priced chunk of aluminum. Granted...Apple QA is top-notch and this screen is insane high pixels per inch at over 220! Text is crystal clear and sharp as a blade. This monitor has the best built-in speakers out of any monitor on the market. The build quality and materials are better than any other monitor on the market. It also has a web cam so it's nice for work from home as your desk stays clutter-free.

    This device is everything I expected it to be. Somewhat pricey but worth the money. I am learning a lot to use it many features along with a new minimac, but in the mean time I can use it with my iPad and iPhone. Great for watching movies and sports too.

    No doubt you're going to pay for Apple products, but if you're already in the Apple ecosystem, it's hard to beat the quality and integration of this display. It's an example of Apple at its best with the "it just works" ecosystem. Not even a power button, which seems a little odd, but works fine. Speakers seem better than my older imac. Webcam is "meh" in terms of image quality ... not really any improvement there from my iMac, though the Center Frame feature works well. It integrates as a 2nd monitor for my macbook pro flawlessly, with exceptional image quality. The build is rock solid. I like the dimensions better than my imac (studio display is wider). Overall very satisfied and exactly what I expected... and should expect for that price point: exceptional image quality, rock-solid build, and flawless integration with my apple ecosystem.

    A super monitor! I bought the monitor + a new M4 Macbook Air to replace an older 27” iMac. What a difference - the display is outstanding, it is more than I expected even at the high cost! But, I was able to buy it on sale ($300 off!). A great purchase!

    Used for about 10 months, and I have to say that this is by far the best monitor I have ever used. It does everything that you need it to do, but better. Picture quality is clean and crisp. Sound quality is fantastic. Again, everything is amazing with this monitor, but the price is definitely something that you need to be comfortable with.

    Great monitor for my personal and business use needs. The size is thin profile is great, the ability to charge devices like my phone, watch, headphones and iPad is convenient. I can even charge my Macbook Pro without having to have both things plugged into my power strip. No issues so far, can't wait to have a second one and dock my Macbook.

    Best monitor apple devices. This monitor will do brightness and volume control right from any apple keyboard on apple devices, plus its 5k, best resolution with a Pro model though. If you see lower resolution, then maybe you have a lower end model Mac.

    Best display for Mac. All in one display simplified for Mac users. A little overprice but you get quality, performance, compatibility and simplicity that other products don’t offer. If planning to use with Mac only this is the best out there. I won’t recommend for game play or for windows users. Text and graphics look sharp and color are great. Brightness control is amazing. Sound is great. Camera with center stage is great.

    Apple Studio Display - Apple Store or Best Buy?

    I considered purchasing a Samsung monitor with similar specs but the reviews about its compatibility with the Mac mini were horrible. Apple Studio Display was not in stock at any of the Apple Stores here. Fortunately, Best Buy not only had it in stock, their price was lower and they delivered it for quickly without extra cost.

    This display is just like the display from your 27” iMac, except it’s better. It has better audio and spatial sound, micriphones, cameras for Face Time and it has a faster refresh rate for gamers and action movie lovers. I think its a bit overpriced, but if it last 7-10 years, the price is worth it.
