Apple is expanding its monitor offerings for Mac users. The company unveiled a refreshed Studio Display and a brand new Studio Display XDR, which is aimed at professionals working with HDR, video, and 3D graphics. The new models will be available for purchase on 11 March, with pre-orders starting on 4 March.
Studio Display - 5K, Thunderbolt 5 and improved camera
Studio Display remains a 27-inch Retina 5K monitor (over 14 million pixels) with a brightness of 600 nits and a wide colour gamut of P3. The key new features are:
12 MP Center Stage camera with Desk View function,
six-speaker system with deeper bass,
Thunderbolt 5 connectivity with the ability to chain up to four monitors,
charging for MacBook at up to 96 W.
The monitor is available with either standard or nano-texture glass. The price starts at 7,499 PLN.
Studio Display XDR – mini-LED and 2000 nits HDR
Studio Display XDR is a completely new proposition for the film, post-production, and design industries. The 27-inch Retina XDR 5K display uses mini-LED backlighting with 2304 zones of dimming. Key specifications: up to 1000 nits in SDR, 2000 nits peak brightness in HDR, contrast 1,000,000:1, 120 Hz refresh rate with adaptive sync (47–120 Hz), wide P3 color gamut, and Adobe RGB. This level is genuinely aimed at professional HDR editing and advanced colour grading.
Prices in Poland
Studio Display – from 7,499 PLN

Both models are available with standard or nanostructured glass.
The new Studio Display line is a clear signal that Apple wants to have full control over the professional work environment – from MacBook to reference monitor. The Studio Display XDR with mini-LED, 2000 nits HDR and 120 Hz targets the most demanding creators, while the classic Studio Display remains a solid choice for Mac users.
