Apple reveals its new 5K mini-LED Studio Display XDR
Apple continues its gradual unveiling of new products this week with the launch of the Studio Display and an all-new monitor called the Studio Display XDR. The latter is a higher-end model aimed at content creators with a 27-inch 5K Retina XDR display that features a mini-LED display with 2,000-plus dimming zones, up to 2,000 nits of peak HDR brightness and a wider color gamut for improved accuracy. It also has a 120Hz refresh rate, addressing complaints about the relatively anemic 60Hz refresh rate of previous models. It also addresses a longstanding user ergonomic complaint with a new tilt- and height-adjustable stand.
Along with the higher-end display, Apple also announced a new version of the basic Studio Display with an improved 12MP Center Stage camera. It also now supports Desk View to show your face and an overhead view of your desk at the same, while offering a studio-quality three-microphone array and six speaker sound system with Spatial Audio.
Both displays now support Thunderbolt 5 connectivity, providing higher-speed connections for accessories and the ability to daisy-chain displays. The Studio Display XDR will be available tomorrow for pre-order starting at $3,299, while the new Studio Display (with a tilt-only adjustable stand) also goes on pre-order on March 4 for $1,599.
