The Apple Studio Display is one of our favorite monitors for loyal Mac users who also want a 27-inch 5K display to go with their machine. That size and resolution combo ensures you’ll get a beautiful Retina output, making text look sharper and better than ever. There aren’t many alternatives on the market for those who absolutely must have a Retina experience, and none of the competing monitors that meet these requirements are cheap. Apple’s monitor is among the best, and right now you can bag one for up to $100 off, making the price a little less scary.
The Studio Display monitor debuted back in March 2022 and hasn’t changed since, which means you’ll be getting the latest model no matter which configuration you buy. It has an A13 chip, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera with Center Stage and a high-fidelity, six-speaker sound system.
How much does the Apple Studio Display cost?
You can buy the Studio Display starting at $1,599 (£1,499, AU$2,499), or $1,499 for those eligible for Apple’s education discount. You can also upgrade to nano-texture glass ($300) and a tilt- and height-adjustable stand ($400).
