Studio Display: Apple's new monitor disappoints with 60 Hz IPS panel
Apple has continued with its early March mega launch by introducing a slew of new devices globally. To recap, the company presented the iPhone 17e and new iPad Air tablets yesterday. Now, it has pivoted to a new Studio Display, which has been joined by an upgraded Studio Display XDR.
For context, Apple introduced the original Studio Display roughly four years ago (curr. $1,669 with nano-texture glass on Amazon). Nonetheless, the 27-inch, 5K, 600 nit and 60 Hz panel from the original Studio Display returns. For this generation, Apple claims to have included upgraded speakers that produce 30% deeper bass than the original Studio Display. Also, Thunderbolt 3 connectivity has made way for two Thunderbolt 5 ports, which are joined by two USB Type-C ports.
The new Studio Display starts at $1,599 with standard glass and a tilt-adjustable stand or a VESA mount adapter. Next up is a tilt and height-adjustable stand variant, for which Apple charges an extra $400. Meanwhile, nano-texture glass variants cost at least $1,899.
Consequently, the new Studio Display costs up to $2,299 before taxes when optioned with a height adjustable stand and nano-texture glass. Pre-orders will open at 14:15 UTC on March 4, with shipments starting on March 11. Please see Apple's website for more details.
