Studio Display

For $3000+ they might as well throw it in there. The Studio display in general is super overengineered if you watched the teardown, just like the $999 Pro Stand hinge mechanism. I guess that's what Apple does on their high end products when they aren't held back by a specific price point

End of an era. According to Wikipedia, iPad is the last product they announced with an "i" prefix. This was back in 2010. I doubt they'll ever release a new "i" product again that isn't an accessory to an already existing "i" product. It's unfortunate because it really was such good branding. Now th

Yeah it's pretty user-hostile. I think the idea is that you buy a new device if you want the VESA mount. I'm sure they sold several hundred extra Studio Displays for just this reason.

I think it was the right choice for me, but I don't think it's worth the price. Or at least, I wouldn't list "bang per buck" as a feature. I wanted it because it reportedly used the same panel as my 5k imac, so I knew what I was getting. But the downside to that is that in 2025, we're still paying "

The tech in the studio display feels so ancient it's hard to believe it's only three years old.

There are cheaper 5k panels coming into the market now. The new ASUS is £699. Granted it’s a plastic body but I’d imagine Apple can get the same panel into a nicer body for not a lot more. They’d have to upgrade the studio display a fair bit though or it’d demolish those sales

It’s not great. The rumour is that we’ll get a studio displayed 2 this year which is kind of corroborated by both Samsung and LG announcing 5K 27 inch panels this year presumably Apple might have pitted them against each other to make a panel so we’ll see which one they’ve put in the next studio dis

My ideal setup includes an Apple Display somewhere on set as most people who see the pictures online will watch them on a bright glossy display (smartphones, MacBook etc...).Apple Displays are fiddly to use on set because of their ports. It is not as easy as buying a 10 meters HDMI or DisplayPort ca

Well, you are in luck because I happen to be something of a high PPI monitor aficionado. Like you, I want to do both gaming and productivity on a 5K 27 inch panel. Until now they haven’t really been any that I would think are good enough. I’ve been doing some testing for performance reasons with the

Oh I absolutely think they will. Did you see the M1 iMac? The notch on the MacBook Pro in 2021? The Studio Display that has a power cable that can only be removed at an Apple Store? The iPad 10 that had a USB-C port but still only supported the lightning version of the Apple Pencil? The latest AirPo
