Overview
- Apple announced the refreshed Studio Display and the all‑new Studio Display XDR on March 3, with sales beginning a week later.
- The standard $1,599 model retains a 27‑inch 5K, 60Hz panel and the same enclosure but adds an A19 chip, two Thunderbolt 5 ports (96W upstream plus a high‑speed downstream for accessories or daisy‑chaining), a Center Stage camera with Desk View, and deeper bass.
- The $3,299 Studio Display XDR introduces a mini‑LED backlight, a 120Hz screen, an A19 Pro chip, advanced color options, DICOM presets, and a Medical Imaging Calibrator aimed at diagnostic radiology.
- Both new displays require Apple silicon Macs and recent OS versions, dropping support for Intel‑based models.
- Reviewers characterize the base update as largely unchanged from 2022, positioning the XDR as the notable upgrade for professional workflows.
