Apple’s new Studio displays come with Thunderbolt 5
Apple on Tuesday announced a new MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, both powered by its latest chips, as well as a new family of displays. The latter includes a new $1,599 Studio Display and a $3,299 Studio Display XDR.
The new 27-inch displays come with better cameras and improved connectivity.
Both displays feature a 12MP Center Stage camera, which the company says, offers improved image quality. There’s also support for Desk View, a feature that shows your face and an overhead view of your desk at the same time.
The Studio Display’s 5K Retina display has over 14 million pixels, 600 nits of brightness, and supports the P3 wide-gamut color standard that covers a broader range of the visible color spectrum than standards like sRGB.
The displays come with Thunderbolt 5 ports, so they can be connected to accessories and be used to daisy-chain up to four displays (a Thunderbolt 5 Pro cable comes included). There’s also a three-microphone array and a six-speaker sound system with Spatial Audio. Apple says the new sound system offers 30% deeper bass than the last generation.
The higher-end Studio Display XDR features a 5K Retina XDR display (5120×2880 resolution) that has a mini-LED backlight and more than 2,000 local dimming zones. It can go up to 1000 nits of SDR brightness and 2000 nits of peak HDR brightness, and has a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. It also supports the Adobe RGB color standard.
The display has a refresh rate of 120Hz, supports Adaptive Sync, and comes with DICOM medical imaging presets and a Medical Imaging Calibrator, which make it usable in medical settings. Apple says the Medical Imaging Calibrator on macOS is pending FDA clearance and is expected to be available soon in the U.S.

While the Studio Display’s stand is tilt-adjustable, the Display XDR also lets you adjust the height.
Both came in either the standard or nano-texture glass options, Apple notes.
Pre-orders begin on March 4, and the displays will be available starting March 11.
