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.

Apple unveils new Studio Display and all-new Studio Display XDR

The "new" Studio Display is dead on arrival. It's a lcd 5k 60hz panel for $1599, while there are plenty of high refresh rate miniled 5k panels for like half the price. Apple really fumbled with this one

Apple unleashes M5, the next big leap in AI performance for Apple silicon

I want to point out the M5 macbook pro has only TB4, while the M4Pro/Max macbooks have TB5. This might affect you if you're planning to run 5k/6k@120hz displays which would require TB5. The rumoured studio display, if it does have 120hz, might require this (or a hacky 2x plug into the tb4 ports). Th

Apple discontinues the Mac Pro with no plans for future hardware

Yeah I don’t get it. A Mac Studio should have plenty of room for multiple m.2 drives but yet we have to have external drives or enclosures sitting on the desk next to the Mac. I love Apple but they are ridiculous with this. I want a Mac Pro specifically for the ability to add storage or whatever int

M5 iPad Pro Could Hint at New Studio Display Feature [120 Hz]

Yeah, but they generally aren’t mutually exclusive. OLED monitors have incredible contrast much better than the LCD display on the Studio Display. Now 5K and 6K for the two monitors does make it hard harder to find pre-existing panels, but mini LED should work well enough if they want to avoid OLED

Apple Studio Display

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

Kuycon is planning to release P27Z 5K 180hz monitor next week

So the Asus panel. I don’t know if I would really call us an alternative to the studio display XDR as it does not do local dimming as far as I understand. Though I guess it is a high refresh rate. I do hope they do a version that does local using the same panel the LG MSI Hisense and probably Apple

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

Actually loving the new standard Studio Display?

The thing is, it’s not that it’s inherently bad. It’s that we should be able to get a whole lot more for that price point. We have the original studio display which is basically the same as the new studio display. It’s certainly not bad but it has all of the normal IPS issues like poor uniformity wi
