Apple Studio Display
The Apple Studio Display (marketed as Studio Display) is a line of 27 in (690 mm) flat panel computer monitors developed and sold by Apple Inc. The first generation Studio Display was announced on March 8, 2022, alongside the Mac Studio desktop, and was released on March 18, 2022. It was sold alongside the Pro Display XDR as a consumer option.
The second-generation Studio Display and the higher-end Studio Display XDR were released on March 11, 2026.
The first generation Studio Display is the first Apple-branded consumer display released since the Apple Thunderbolt Display was discontinued in 2016. In the interim, Apple worked with LG to design the Thunderbolt 3-enabled UltraFine line, consisting of 21.5 in (550 mm) (later revised to 24 in (610 mm)) 4K and 27-inch 5K displays. The Studio Display name was previously used for a line of displays sold by Apple from 1998 to 2004.
The Studio Display features a 27 in (690 mm), 5K LED-backlit panel, with 5120×2880 resolution at 218 pixels per inch and 600 nits of brightness, an increase from the 500 nits panel used in the LG UltraFine and 27 in (690 mm) iMac. The panel also supports P3 wide color and True Tone technology. It does not support HDR content. It also includes a six-speaker system with force-cancelling woofers that support spatial audio and Dolby Atmos, and a three-microphone array that supports "Hey Siri". On the rear of the display is a Thunderbolt 3 port that supports DisplayPort 1.4 with Display Stream Compression (DSC) 1.2 and provides up to 96W of host charging for connected laptops, and three downstream 10 Gbit/s USB-C ports.
The Studio Display includes an Apple A13 Bionic system-on-a-chip, which was introduced with the iPhone 11 line, to power audio and webcam processing. The built-in webcam supports Center Stage, introduced with the iPad Pro (5th generation), which pinpoints the positions of the users and automatically tracks the camera view accordingly to perspectively center them. The A13 chip is paired with 64 GB of internal storage but only uses 2 GB at a time.
The Studio Display comes in three mounting option configurations: a tilt-adjustable stand, a tilt- and height-adjustable stand similar to the Pro Display XDR, and a VESA mount. The mounts are built into the display and are not user interchangeable, but can be reconfigured by an Apple Store or authorized service provider after purchase. Like the Pro Display XDR, it could also be configured with the optional laser-etched "nano-texture" glass finish to reduce glare.
The Studio Display has a 1.8 m (5.9 ft) proprietary power cable, which requires a special tool to separate from the display. The display comes with a braided 1 m (3 ft) Thunderbolt 3 cable, and longer braided Thunderbolt 4 Pro cables in lengths of 1.8 m (6 ft) and 3 m (10 ft) are available separately.
The second generation Studio Display and Studio Display XDR were announced on March 3, 2026. Both include Thunderbolt 5 connectivity with a second downstream Thunderbolt port, a Center Stage camera that supports Desk View, and improved speakers. The second generation Studio Display includes an Apple A19 chip, while the Studio Display XDR has an A19 Pro chip. Both are paired with 128 GB of internal storage. In addition to the Studio Display's features, the Studio Display XDR includes Mini LED backlighting with 2,000 nits of peak brightness for HDR content, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 140W of host charging for connected laptops. Following the announcement, the Pro Display XDR was discontinued.
