The Studio Display is a lower-cost option that is meant to go along with the Mac Studio. The Studio Display is more affordable than the Pro Display XDR at a starting price of $1,599.
Apple has expensive add-on accessories and updates for many of the past Pro product debuts, and the base Studio display is $1,599, which is the same price as the other accessories.
Adding the same low reflectivity glass as the Pro Display XDR will cost an additional $300. For no additional cost, the VESA Mount Adapter can be selected.
When the Pro Display XDR was released, a stand was not included and it cost more than $1,000. Users will need to pay more for the high-end stand shown off on stage, even though Apple included a stand this time around.
The studio display with the upgraded stand and glass will cost $2,299. That is less than half of the price of the Pro Display XDR, which starts at $4,999.
The Pro Display XDR is a 32-inch 6K display, while the Studio Display is a 27 inch display. The studio display has 600 nits brightness, but Apple has added a 12-megapixel camera with Center Stage support and an A13 chip to support the camera and speaker systems.
The studio display will be available on March 18.
