Introducing the Latest Mac Studio Display From Apple
March 23, 2022 *
Along with the big news of the latest Mac Studio computer with its optional M1 Ultra all-in-on processor, Apple introduced an upgraded Mac Studio Display. Even though the company sells the computer and the monitor separately, most customers will probably purchase both products for their workstations. At least, Apple markets the Studio Display as a necessary component of an “ultimate Studio experience.”
How Much Does the Mac Studio Display Cost?
Naturally, people interested in the Mac Studio Display will want to know the cost:
- According to CNET, the new monitor will retail for a minimum of $1,599.
- An optional stand costs $400 and lets users adjust the screen’s height.
- Apple also sells this monitor with optional nanotexture glass for an extra $300.
Thus, expect to pay about $1,600 to $2,300 for the Mac Studio Display. In contrast, Apple’s other branded monitor, the Pro Display XDR, starts at $5,000. While paying so much for a monitor might seem extravagant, the Mac Studio Display offers a less-expensive alternative to the Pro Display XDR.
Apple will start shipping this new monitor on March 18th. The company has already opened up preorders for the Mac Studio monitor and the new computer. The Mac Studio computer with an M1 Ultra chip starts at $3,999, and the base model with an M1 Max chipset begins at $1,999.
What to Expect From the Mac Studio Display
The new display features an aluminum case with extremely narrow borders, so the front of the machine consists almost entirely of its screen. The monitor can tilt up to 30 degrees, even without the extra stand. The display also offers 5K resolution and up to 600 nits of brightness.
Besides the basics, the screen includes its own integrated camera, speakers, and an array of microphones, and they’re all backed with an A13 Bionic chip. Apple promised excellent sound quality, and the six speakers can handle spatial audio. The microphone accepts Siri’s voice commands. Cameras include a 12MP wide-angle view and Center Stage for video calling.
Apple says that Center Stage relies on machine learning to automatically adjust the camera’s view to follow users around the room. The company previously offered this feature on their iPad tablets, and it’s often used with Facetime to give presentations.
The focus will automatically shift when a speaker moves without manually adjusting the camera’s position. For instance, presenters at a meeting might sit at their desks part of the time and then stand to use whiteboards behind their seats, and they won’t need to reposition the screen or camera.
