The APPLE STUDIO DISPLAY is truly a gem for the office, as even when you don't feel like working, you turn it on just to not lose touch with absolute perfection and continue working (similar to what addicted gamers do with 360Hz gaming monitors, which they only turn off when they go to sleep). The price, of course, is ridiculous, 1,850 for the basic version, and if you want the adjustable stand and nanotexture glass, you can reach 2,800. This specific monitor is for deep pockets, like a Rolex watch for 2,500 Euros, which you can find cheaper alternatives just to see the time.
Advantages:
- 218 HIDPI, which is a must if you want to connect it as an external monitor to a Macbook / Mac Mini; otherwise, with 1440p monitors, you fall to 109 HIDPI (because Apple has blocked HIDPI on other monitors, resulting in blurry fonts, which is a problem for professionals, especially in the Finder, where folders/files remind you of the ZX Spectrum era).
- 600 Nits Brightness (100 nits more than the old iMac 27)
- Incredible speakers that can easily throw a party when they are at 30% volume
- 1 Thunderbolt 4, which works perfectly with Mac Mini / Macbook
- 3 USB C ports that easily charge the Macbook (up to 90W) and provide high speeds when connecting external drives
- Tremendous construction, truly a gem
Disadvantages:
- It doesn't have any adjustment buttons, so if connected to a PC, all settings are done only through the NVIDIA/AMD Control Panel.
- 60Hz, but there is no problem because it doesn't have the classic tearing in windows of a common monitor since it is retina technology (after all, it's not for gaming but only for professional use).
- The cable is attached to the monitor (therefore, it is not convenient for transportation).
- It doesn't have an audio jack.
Overall, anyone who has the money to buy it will not deal with other monitors for five years and will greatly increase their performance in whatever profession they are in because you truly won't be able to detach yourself from it
