Monitor Light Bar Apple Studio Display

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.

I recently updated my older apple monitor very happy with the resolution and the looks of apple studio display.

I like and trust Apple Displays for their beautiful image and color accuracy. I retouch photographs and color grade videos and films. The Apple monitor is accurate and bright with great resolution. It's a good size and small footprint on my desk. I purchased it with the new Mac Studio. It works well with the new computer. I purchased the Apple 27 Studio display with just the tilt option and it works fine. It sits nicely above the Mac Studio computer. The stand doesn't take up much desk space. There is no power switch for the monitor. As soon as you turn on the computer it is on and ready for viewing. I also like that there is no sleep light to keep flashing when the monitor is off or sleeping. The bezel around the viewable screen is a reasonable size and smaller than my other LG monitor. The Apple Display is easy to setup. Just plug it in and plug in the included Thunderbolt cable to the computer. Both cables are a soft and flexible black cable. I think the price is reasonable for the Apple Studio Display. My first Apple Display was the HD 24 version and cost around $1899 to $2199. Many years later the 5K 27 version is less money than that. I think that's a good deal. And much more affordable than the 32 XDR 6K monitor. I'm very pleased with the Apple Studio Display, as it just works well and looks great.

For years I have searched for a glossy 4k/5k IPS monitor comparable to Apple displays the one in the iMac (and now the Studio display). The search is over. The Alogic Clarity is awesome, and even looks like an Apple product. Not having that matte coating on the screen makes the colors pop with crisp text, much better than my matte LG 32 IPS monitors. I use the monitors for work (coding & engineering work), photo editing, watching movies, and general computer use. The monitor gets plenty bright at 400 nits (non-hdr) and 600 (hdr). It's only 60Hz and I don't game so I can't comment how it is for that purpose. One thing to note, I use this with a Mac Studio. The colors look great using whatever connection type I use. However, when connected via the thunderbolt 3 out to display port 1.4 in, the "Use as" scaling options for text are available, whereas if using the usb-c connection that is not the case (though it still allows for using different resolutions). If you are familiar with glossy displays, then yes, there are reflections with this monitor. And this may not be the best monitor in a room full of windows. But if used away from windows it's not an issue. To me, the benefit of having a clearer, sharper picture, more vibrant colors, and better perceived blacks, far outweighs the negatives. My only complaint is that it only comes in a 27 size. My god if this thing only came in a 32 size.

This is my 1st BenQ monitor (full disclosure). Was not sure if this BenQ would live up to the hype but I have been pleased so far. Buying this exact monitor again after B&H's Rosh Hashana Holiday Closing. Using with 10-core CPU/ 32-core GPU Mac Studio and love the combination. Speakers are superior to the built-in Mac Studio speakers. Initially considered it over the Apple Studio Display due to price (over 50% less) and bang for buck features. This monitor does not have web cam like Apple Studio Display but built in mic has strong clarity and fidelity. I have also used with PS5 in 120Hz mode (for compatible games) and it delivered. PVP FPS feel very responsive, a noticeable improvement and more submersed when compared to 60Hz mode. I can spend more time going into all features but may not do this monitor justice. See images of LED back-side enhancements (cool ambience) . Provided photos of screen to show level of glare and comparison between multiple applications. Screen brightness isn't the best compared to others but works for my residential office setup; no complaints with blinds open and ceiling fan light on. Hope this was helpful

I have this mounted to an Apple Pro Display. I think the monitor might have been a little too light for this arm, but I'd much rather have a heavier duty monitor arm than a cheapy on a $5000.00 monitor. I am really pleased with the versatility that this arm provides. I can literally move it directly in front of me, at a 45 degree angle and away from me, higher lower, tilted. It's range is awesome and yes I move it around often. Even able to put my monitor in the portrait mode which is vertical. It's very versatile. For me, its was easily worth the 200 dollar price tag. I opted for the taller version and I definitely needed it. I was hesitant if it was worth the extra money and I'm so glad I did cause I use it!

This adapter worked without anything needed except to plug it into a Thunderbolt 4 port on my Mac Studio, power up my Apple LED Cinema Display and plug its minidisplayport connection into the adapter. The display is fully functional including the three connection usba hub on the back of the display. My Mac Studio running Ventura 13.1 recognizes the display and it is shown along with all of its functions in the displays settings on Ventura. I am using the LED Cinema Display as an extended display with an Apple Studio Display as the main display. Everything works beautifully.

I bought 2 of these for my laptop for a dual monitor display. These are less than half the price than the Apple brand. I also own the apple version on another computer and these are the exact same build and don't feel or work any different. I love Apple but spend your money on their computers/tablets and save yourself a few bucks on accessories.

The missing piece to connect my Apple LED Cinema Display to my new Mac Studio.

We bought this to use with a Mac Mini at our part-time office--we use an Apple Studio Display in the main office to do photo editing. This is a GREAT monitor for the money and is as simple as can be to set up and start using.
