Best Apple Studio Display deals: Save $299 on 5K monitors

By

Being creative in the industry can get quite expensive, especially since high-end monitors tend to run in the thousands of dollars, and if you’re in the Apple ecosystem or want something high-end, then the Apple Studio Display is excellent. It’s great to pair with everything from the Apple MacBook Pro to the Apple MacBook Air, and as a 5k monitor, it provides some of the most gorgeous images out there. Of course, it’s also excellent at color reproduction and image fidelity in general and is the sort of thing that’s aimed at creative pros.

While there aren’t any deals right now on the Nano-Texture version, the standard glass model does have a nice little discount. You may also want to check out some of these other great Apple deals as well, or if you want a different monitor, then there are some good monitor deals out there too.

The Apple Studio Display is one of the more premium monitors on the market. It’s not to be confused with the Apple Pro Display XDR, which is Apple’s professional, high end monitor. And while the Apple Studio Display and Pro Display XDR have some similarities, the Studio Display comes in at a much lower price tag. It has a 27-inch screen that comes with 5K resolution and 600 nits of brightness, as well as support for one billion colors and the P3 wide color gamut. It also has a six-speaker sound system with Spatial Audio, which makes it a great place to sit down and watch movie.

If you’re in the market for an Apple Studio Display you may also be interested in the version with Nano-Texture Glass. It has all of the great features you’ll find in the entry-level model, but it has an upgraded display construction. While standard glass has an anti-reflective coating for viewing comfort and readability, nano-texture glass drastically reduces glare yet avoids the frostiness and muted colors you’ll often find in cheaper screens with a matte display. This is a good way to go if you work in bright spaces or otherwise deal with lots of glare while you work.

Should you buy the Apple Studio Display?

Apple is very well-known for making some of the best devices for creatives out there, such as the MacBook Pro, which a lot of people rely on for graphical editing and rendering, as well as a plethora of other creative tasks. As such, it’s probably no surprise that the Studio Display comes highly recommended, especially if color fidelity and resolution are both important to you. Of course, it does come at a steep price, which is indicative of it being targeted to professionals in the industry rather than your average consumer.

That said, it’s hard to beat the Apple Studio Display in terms of quality, so it makes sense that, even as a freelancer, you might start eyeing them as an option. Luckily, there are a few good deals, as mentioned above, that bring them down to a more palatable level, especially if you go for the lower-end option that is just standard glass that’s tilt-adjustable without any add-ons. There is also the matte version, which helps avoid issues with the reflection that you’d find on the standard display, and even though that tends to cause issues with contrast, Apple has found a solid workaround to make it look normal.

As for whether you should grab one, that depends on where you are in terms of your career and if you feel that you’ve hit a limit with what you can do with your current screen. It’s also a good option if you own a small and medium business and are looking at monitors, as it’s a good investment in doing higher-quality work. Otherwise, you might want to go for something that is similar but a bit cheaper, such as the , which also has some excellent specs and is significantly cheaper.

When Meta originally took over Oculus, a lot of folks were skeptical about what that would entail, especially as VR is a nascent piece of tech and Meta is known to take on dubious projects, such as the Metaverse. Luckily, it wasn't as bad as most feared, with the Meta Quest 2 being one of the best VR headsets on the market for a long time. While it's true that the Meta Quest 3 has already come out, the Quest 2 has a lot of advantages, the least of which is that it's considerably cheaper, going for the new discounted price of $200, which is $50 less than what it was a few weeks ago.
