Studio Display XDR is the world’s best Pro Display, featuring a 27-inch 5K Retina XDR display with a mini-LED backlight, 2000 nits of peak HDR brightness, and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Apple has announced a new family of displays designed to pair seamlessly with Mac and support the needs of everyone from everyday users to professional creators. The lineup includes the updated Studio Display and the all-new Studio Display XDR, both engineered to deliver excellent visual quality, powerful connectivity, and advanced camera and audio capabilities.
The new Studio Display features a 12MP Center Stage camera with improved image quality and support for Desk View, a studio-quality three-microphone array, and an immersive six-speaker sound system with Spatial Audio. It also introduces Thunderbolt 5 connectivity, allowing more downstream connections for high-speed accessories or the ability to daisy-chain displays.
The newly introduced Studio Display XDR takes the professional display experience to the next level. Its 27-inch 5K Retina XDR display features an advanced mini-LED backlight with over 2,000 local dimming zones. It supports up to 1000 nits of SDR brightness and 2000 nits of peak HDR brightness, along with a wider color gamut that allows content to appear with impressive contrast, vibrancy, and accuracy.
Studio Display XDR also introduces a 120Hz refresh rate that makes motion smoother and more responsive. Adaptive Sync dynamically adjusts frame rates to match content such as video playback or graphically intensive tasks. Like Studio Display, the XDR model includes the same advanced camera and audio system as well as Thunderbolt 5 connectivity to simplify professional workflows.
The new Studio Display with a tilt-adjustable stand starts at ₱104,999, while Studio Display XDR with a height- and tilt-adjustable stand starts at ₱219,999. Both displays are available with standard or nano-texture glass options and can be pre-ordered starting March 4.
“Apple has led the industry in delivering the world’s most advanced displays for pros to do their life’s best work, and today we do that once again with the introduction of the new Studio Display family,” said John Ternus, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Engineering. “Studio Display gets even better with a new 12MP Center Stage camera and powerful Thunderbolt 5 connectivity. And the Studio Display XDR is a huge leap forward for XDR technology, with a mini-LED backlight, 2000 nits of peak HDR brightness, advanced color accuracy, and a 120Hz refresh rate, transforming workflows like filmmaking, design and print, and 3D animation. It’s by far the world’s best pro display.”
Studio Display the Perfect Companion to Mac
The new Studio Display pairs strong visual quality with features designed to support a wide range of workflows, including photo editing, video production, coding, music creation, and everyday computing tasks.
It features a 27-inch 5K Retina display with more than 14 million pixels, delivering sharp detail and excellent clarity. The display also provides 600 nits of brightness and P3 wide color for rich and accurate imagery.
Studio Display includes a 12MP Center Stage camera with Desk View support. This feature allows video calls to show both the user and a top-down view of their desk at the same time, which is useful for demonstrations or creative collaboration.
Audio performance is enhanced through a studio-quality three-microphone array and a six-speaker sound system. The system includes four force-cancelling woofers that deliver 30 percent deeper bass than the previous generation, along with two high-performance tweeters that create immersive sound with Spatial Audio support.
Connectivity is another key highlight. Studio Display features Thunderbolt 5 connectivity with two ports, allowing users to daisy-chain up to four Studio Display models for a combined nearly 60 million pixels. Two USB-C ports are also available for connecting peripherals and charging devices.
The display is available with standard glass or optional nano-texture glass for challenging lighting conditions. It comes with a tilt-adjustable stand and can also be configured with a tilt- and height-adjustable stand or a VESA mount adapter for customized desk setups.
Studio Display XDR the World’s Best Pro Display
The all-new Studio Display XDR delivers advanced display technology and a robust set of features designed for professional users who require exceptional front-of-screen performance.
With 2000 nits of peak HDR brightness, a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, P3 and Adobe RGB wide color gamuts, a 120Hz refresh rate, Adaptive Sync, a powerful camera and audio system, and Thunderbolt 5 connectivity, Studio Display XDR is designed for workflows such as HDR video editing and 3D rendering.
Advanced XDR Display Technology
Studio Display XDR features a 27-inch 5K Retina XDR display with a resolution of 5120 by 2880, delivering exceptional detail and clarity. The mini-LED backlight uses 2,304 local dimming zones that enable extreme contrast and precise brightness control.
The display delivers up to 1000 nits of SDR brightness and 2000 nits of peak HDR brightness, along with a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. This wide dynamic range allows HDR content to appear vivid while reducing halo and blooming effects.
Enhanced Color Accuracy
Studio Display XDR adds Adobe RGB color gamut support in addition to P3 wide color, making it a strong reference display for print and design professionals. The display also delivers more than 80 percent Rec. 2020 coverage for HDR video editing and color grading.
Both P3 and Adobe RGB color spaces are accessible from the same default preset, allowing professionals to switch easily between color spaces during production workflows.
Smooth 120Hz Refresh Rate and Adaptive Sync
Studio Display XDR features a 120Hz refresh rate that enables smooth and ultra-responsive motion. Adaptive Sync supports a continuously variable refresh rate between 47Hz and 120Hz, which helps make gaming and video playback more fluid while reducing display latency.
Powerful Combination of Camera, Audio, and Thunderbolt 5 Connectivity
Studio Display XDR includes a 12MP Center Stage camera that keeps users centered in the frame as they move. Video calls become more engaging with Desk View, which displays the user and a top-down view of their desk at the same time.
It also features a studio-quality three-microphone array with directional beamforming and a six-speaker sound system that supports Spatial Audio.
Thunderbolt 5 connectivity enables fast connections to accessories or additional displays. The display includes a second Thunderbolt port for connecting downstream high-speed accessories or daisy-chaining other displays.
Two additional USB-C ports provide expanded connectivity and allow the display to function as a Thunderbolt hub. The included Thunderbolt 5 Pro cable can deliver up to 140W of charging power, which is enough to fast-charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro.
Versatile Stand and Accessories
Studio Display XDR includes a tilt- and height-adjustable stand designed to support a variety of workspaces. The stand offers a height range of 105mm and uses a counterbalancing arm that allows the display to feel weightless while remaining precisely in position during adjustments.
An optional VESA mount adapter is also available for users who prefer to attach the display to compatible stands, mounts, or arms for a customized desk setup.
Studio Display Family and the Environment
Studio Display and Studio Display XDR were built with environmental responsibility in mind and contribute to Apple’s goal of becoming carbon neutral across its entire footprint by 2030.
Both displays include recycled materials, including 100 percent recycled aluminum in the stand and 80 percent recycled glass in the standard glass option. They are designed to be durable and repairable while meeting Apple’s standards for energy efficiency and safe chemistry.
The packaging also reflects Apple’s sustainability efforts. It uses 100 percent fiber-based paper packaging that was designed to collapse easily so it can be recycled.
