Adam Kos In addition to the all-new Mac Studio desktop, Apple also announced a new addition to its line of external displays at its spring event yesterday. The Apple Studio Display is therefore positioned alongside the Pro Display XDR as its possible smaller and cheaper variant. Even so, it contains interesting technologies that the larger display simply does not offer.

In terms of design, both devices are very similar, although the novelty is clearly based on the appearance of the new 24" iMac, which only lacks the colorful colors and lower chin. Studio Display offers a 27" Retina display with a resolution of 5120 × 2880 pixels. Although it is larger than the mentioned iMac, the Pro Display XDR has a diagonal of 32 inches. It is already labeled Retina XDR and its resolution is 6016 × 3384 pixels. So both have 218 ppi, but the Studio Display has a 5K resolution, while the Pro Display XDR has a 6k resolution.
The novelty has a brightness of 600 nits, and the larger model clearly beats it in this respect as well, because it reaches up to 1 nits of peak brightness, but manages 600 nits permanently. In both cases, a wide color range (P1), support for 000 billion colors, True Tone technology, an anti-reflective layer or optional glass with a nanotexture are self-evident.

Of course, the Pro Display XDR technology is further away, which is why there is also a drastic difference in price. It contains a 2D backlight system with 576 local dimming zones and a timing controller (TCON) designed for precise control of the high-speed modulation of 20,4 million LCD pixels and 576 backlight LEDs in perfect synchronization. The company does not provide this information in the news at all.
Connectivity
The models have nothing to envy here, because they are actually exactly the same. So both include one Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) port for connecting and charging a compatible Mac (with 96W charging) and three USB-C ports (up to 10 Gb/s) for connecting peripherals, storage and networks. However, other novelties brought by Studio Display are quite interesting. These are the camera and speakers.

Apple, probably trained by the pandemic period, decided that even on a purely work device it is advisable to handle calls, since teleconferences are part of the working hours of many of us. So he integrated a 12MPx ultra-wide-angle camera with a 122° field of view and f/2,4 aperture into the device. There is also a centering function. This is also why the display is equipped with its own A13 Bionic chip.

Maybe Apple just doesn't want you to have to buy ugly speakers for the Mac Studio, maybe it just wanted to take advantage of the technology it already introduced with the new iMac. In any case, the Studio Display includes a hi-fi system of six speakers with woofers in an anti-resonance arrangement. There is also support for surround sound when playing music or video in Dolby Atmos format and a system of three studio-quality microphones with a high signal-to-noise ratio and directional beamforming. The Pro Display XDR has none of that.

The Studio display measures 62,3 by 36,2 cm, the Pro Display XDR has a width of 71,8 and a height of 41,2 cm. Of course, the working comfort that the device will provide you with when it is tilted is important. With a stand with adjustable tilt (–5° to +25°) it is 47,8 cm high, with a stand with adjustable tilt and height from 47,9 to 58,3 cm. Pro Display XDR with Pro Stand has a range from 53,3 cm to 65,3 cm in landscape mode, its tilt is -5° to +25°.

Price
In the case of a new product, you will only find a display and a 1m Thunderbolt cable in the box. The Pro Display XDR package is significantly richer. Apart from the display, there is also a 2m power cord, an Apple Thunderbolt 3 Pro cable (2m) and a cleaning cloth. But considering the price, these are still negligible items.

The basic price for Display XDR is CZK 139, in the case with nanotextured glass it is CZK 990. If you want the VESA mount adapter, you will pay CZK 164 for it, if you want the Pro Stand, add another CZK 990 to the price of the display.

If they finally added a BACKLIGHT, it would make many, not just professionals, the MOST JOY! Fuckt I don't understand "nice" Apple why you still refuse to integrate it :(
This way, only LOGITECH or other - unfortunately only with US distribution - secondary production...
