Imac As Monitor For Mac Studio

I switched to a Mac Studio recently after spending the last 10 years editing video on iMac, and this monitor holds up incredibly well. No, it is not a 5K Retina display. However, it is about $1,000 less expensive than an Apple Display, and after using it for two weeks, I'm not noticing any major differences. The color and the resolution are high quality and very suitable for editing 4K video. This monitor also connects directly to the Mac Studio through a USB-C, and it started right up the first time. (I had read reviews that firmware needed to be updated on the monitor to use the USB-C connection, but I didn't not experience this). The 31.5 display is also a nice upgrade over the 27 iMac - that extra bit of real estate is always welcome. It takes up about the same amount of space on my desk as the iMac did. The matte screen is also great. The Retina Displays were too glossy with too many reflections, whereas this monitor minimizes and soften reflections. I'm very happy with this purchase, and if you're looking for a cost-effective alternative to an Apple Display, I would recommend the Dell Ultrasharp 31.5 4K HDR Monitor.

My 27 2017 iMac needed replacing. Apple no longer makes a 27 iMac so I purchased the new M1 Mac Studio. That meant I needed a new monitor as well. I almost ordered the Mac 27 studio monitor. You know, the same 5K monitor that was on my old iMac. But then I started my research and discovered EIZO had started making a more moderately priced 27 display. For only around $100 or so more money than the Apple screen I now have an incredible, color accurate, 4K EIZO ColorEdge CS2740. I have no regrets at all. It was plug and play from the start. I did a manual calibration with my iStudio gear and marvel at the accuracy. I don't miss the 5K slick screen at all. I bought this monitor because I'm a photographer and color accuracy is important. One caveat; if you need a built in camera and speakers go elsewhere. EIZO is known for color accuracy not Zoom meetings. I have an old Bose computer speaker system that still works and it plugged right in to the Mac Studio. If you need the best color rendition you can get for under $2000, this monitor is a great choice.

The perfect monitor for the Mac Studio.

Connect a new Mac studio to an older NEC monitor, it just works as it should.

Just moved from an iMac with an incredible screen and built in camera to a Mac Studio. Wanted a camera that would provide quality video. The 922 delivered. It looks and sounds great.

It was time to replace my 6 year old iMac 27. I kept waiting for a new 27" iMac to be released but it appears that Apple has decided to not make them any longer, instead moving towards Mac Studios. I decided that I just needed to accept that and ordered a new Mac Studio M2 MAX from the Apple Store. Not a review but BH Photo had the Apple Studio Display for $150 less than the Apple Store and using my PayBoo Card I saved on the sales tax, so my savings were over $200.00. I think I made the right decision. This display is fantastic. Bright, sharp, superb 5K Resolution. It's slightly smaller overall the my old iMac (due to not having the computer inside). Exceptional accuracy without any calibration! The sound is also impressive, with its Six-speaker system with force-cancelling woofers, so good that I disconnected my old HK SoundSticks/Sub Woofer. The three-mic array is Studio Quality. My home office lighting is very neutral so I didn't need to go for the Nano Glass upgrade, The standard glass is already engineered for extremely low reflectivity. As for the Stand, the Standard Tilt only stand was fine for my needs and it's absurd what Apple want to charge for their Tilt and Height Adjustable Stand. Overall this Apple Studio Display is a major improvement over my aging 27" iMac Retina. Worth a bit of what a spent!!!

Upgraded from an old iMac to the Mac Mini w/Studio Display. Apple hardware stellar as always. I really appreciate all the built-in ports. I also really appreciate B&H's great Black Friday deal that allowed me to get a lot more for my budget. Very happy!

I replaced a 13yo iMac with a Mac Mini M2 but the Mini needed a monitor. Read a lot of reviews of the Mini and this monitor (plus others from HP) came up frequently. Then reading the detailed descriptions on B&H's site and seeing their price made it a no-brainer. Glad I got it.

Got this for my imac, since the monitor I use with it doesn't have a camera. I was worried that there might be a problem using it with a mac, but not at all: I plugged it in to a USB-A port and it was recognized immediately. The picture is just fine for Zoom calls and such.

May be overkill for a monitor connection to a Studio iMac but it works great and should last through several years of upgrades.
