If Apple’s new Studio Display seems familiar, that’s because it is. But is it any good, and what other options are there on the market?
With nearly identical specs as the 5K Retina display released eight years ago, and having a similar design as the current iMacs, the Studio Display appears to be just that, but with a few added features.
Is Apple trying to push surplus hardware on an eager customer base looking for a mid-range solution?
Are there any other options on the market that are better?
Let’s find out together.
Apple’s Studio Display
The Apple Studio Display sure looks like an iMac, only it’s powered by an A13 Bionic chip. So maybe consider it a 27” iPad?
It has a 5K resolution with DCI P3 Color at 99% coverage and 600 nits in brightness.
“Sounds familiar? That’s because they are,” says Quinn Nelson of Snazzy Labs.
He goes on to point out that the specs of the Studio Display are nearly identical to the 27” 5K iMac from eight years ago, only brighter to qualify for HDR certification, and running the A13 Bionic rather than an Intel processor.
