If/when apple released Apple Studio Display with a possible 120HZ refresh rate - your current Mac won't still support it

I know some folks are all about the refresh rate, but I pretty much bought the studio display so I could eliminate my desktop speakers and my OWC thunderbolt hub. I don't game, so the refresh rate is ok, and the overall image quality is beyond my expectations.

FYI. The Corsair TBT100 Dock is not useable with MacBook Neo

Apple Studio Display has thunderbolt. Its really funny that the A19 Pro and 12GB of ram is in a monitor

Mini M4 Pro - Every monitor seems like a downgrade from iMac 27" Retina

I got a used 27” LG 5k for $400, the one that is an Apple Studio Display competitor and that isn’t a downgrade from your iMac monitor. Look around for used monitors that you can pickup in person and check the screen before you buy.

Studio Display XDR owners, what are your opinions on the display?

I originally bought the base Studio Display, but returned it after a week, I just couldn’t get past the warmer, darker panel tone and the 60Hz refresh rate. As a UX engineer working daily in Sketch/Figma and Xcode, I need a display I can trust for the long haul. I’m planning to keep this for 8+ year

Studio Display 2: The Latest Rumors About Apple's Next Monitor

Who all is selling 5K, 600-nit full-screen brightness monitors with excellent speakers, built-in webcam, Thunderbolt/USB-C hub with 96W PD, 100% sRGB coverage, and ~90% Adobe RGB coverage for significantly less than $1499? Build quality and warranty/service is also a concern here. There are other 5K

Is the Apple Studio Display still worth buying for a MacBook Pro setup in 2026?

I’ve had the 5K Studio Display since it came out four years ago. I use it mainly with a 14” M4 Max MBP now, though I’ve had other devices connected up as well (M1 MBP, M4 MBA, M2 iPad Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max). Overall, I’ve been happy with this display. It looks great, both the screen itself and the

Is a maxed-out iMac overkill for casual use + light gaming?

Not really overkill, but not sure it's the most economical version. Idk if this price you're listing is in usd but you can get an M4 pro chip Mac mini 24gb for like $1250, which is a better chipset for games & half the price. Enough that you could add a $1499 27" Studio Display (which has the webcam

M4 vs M4 Pro

M4 Pro Mini is a teeny tiny little kick-ass beast. I own one. It does get warm on top when running resource hogs like Acrobat Pro together with a bunch of Office apps & other stuff, but it hasn’t skipped a beat. I occasionally look at it tucked away under my Studio Display and think “how the fuck ar

2026 APPLE DISPLAY VS EIZO

I love the studio display for single monitor setups. Biggest downside is no hdmi input and no wireless capability. I use a corning thunderbolt fibre optic cable (15m) to connect to the screen. The studio display is great for the cart or the photographer. For two monitor setups i usually reserve the

Do all 5K monitors have this grainy matte coating?

I was on a 5k glossy quest with a PC for all of 2025. Tried every offering currently available as new. Sadly, they all have aggressive AR matte coatings - except Apple’s Studio Display. But I could not get it to work with my 3070 (the internet says you can, so I must be an idiot. I tried.). One hono
