Big Apple Computer Monitor

[120 Hz] I have been a big fan of Apple and B&H for 20 years! I purchased this unit after I my 2012 MacBook Air had a few keys missing. It was quite a long haul computer that still runs after 12 years. I purchased it from B&H in 2013. I Was going to buy the M1 Mac air but decided to the Upgrade bought an M2. I am extremely happy I spent the extra money on the M3. B&H Was helpful in returning my M2. I have bought 4 Macs from B&H and the service is always outstanding. This is an excellent computer and I hope to get another 12 years out of it. B&H has always been a great company to work with. MJDB

[Textured Matte] 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.

[178 x 178°] I'm not a professional photographer or graphic artist but I dabble in both fields as an advanced amateur. I have paired this monitor with a Mac Studio, 32GB RAM, 10 Core CPU, 24 Core GPU computer. I couldn't be happier with both the computer and the monitor. Up until this setup I was using the Retina 27 iMac. This setup blows that away. I read a lot about scaling issues with 32 monitors paired with Macs as well as issues with less than crisp type. I have had no issues with either of those with this monitor. I've tried all the resolution settings that the Mac Studio offers me and several of the scaling options worked well for me. The default setting of 3840X2160 resulted in icons and type being too small for my taste. I ultimately settled on 3200X1800. All the type is crisp and clear. Even a 0.1 pt. pencil line in my graphics program (Affinity Designer) when is crisp and clear at 100% as well as 3,000%. I read another reviewers problem with traveling bloom as the mouse moves across a gray or white background. I have no problems with that issue. No traveling bloom on my system. I do notice a very slight change in a white background when I move my head back and forth across the screen as the other reviewer noted. It does not bother me. I rarely move my head in that way when using the monitor so I don't consider it an issue. You may. The only real issue I have, and this seems to be a common problem when pairing anything other than an Apple monitor with an Apple computer, is the lag time when waking up the monitor and/or computer from sleep. I was used to an immediate wakeup with the iMac. This system takes at least 5 seconds to wake up. However, it's not something that would keep me from buying this monitor since I think I would have the same problem with any other external monitor that was not an Apple product. In summary, I think this is great monitor. I would buy it again and would recommend it to my family and friends.

[Passive] Work with Apple monitor

[4x 128 GB] I bought the computer with 4 DIMM modules and augmented with these (for less than from Apple) to have 6 modules of 8.

[Additional] One thing is for sure, when your computer goes down, the repair won't be cheap. I always get Apple Care and it has always paid off!

[Parts & Labor] I am happy B & H offered an Apple Care warranty for my monitor.
