Apple will release a 27-inch "Studio Display" equipped with a 5K (5,120 x 2,880 dots) resolution Retina display on March 18th. Reservations have started in Japan, and the price starts at 199,800 yen. There is also an option to choose the type of glass for the stand and display, and it will be sold at some Apple Stores and Apple product dealers.
External display for Mac with a slim aluminum design. It is an all-screen specification with a narrow outer frame, and is designed to harmonize with various Macs, including the Mac Studio announced on the same day.
The 27-inch 5K Retina screen with approximately 14.7 million dots / 218 ppi supports 600 nits brightness, P3 wide color gamut, and more than 1 billion colors. True Tone technology automatically adjusts the display's color temperature according to changes in your surroundings for a more natural viewing experience. It also features an anti-reflective coating for low reflectance, improving comfort and readability.
The biggest feature is that it has a built-in A13 Bionic chip even though it is an external display, a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera (122 degrees) that supports the center frame, and a 6-speaker sound system that supports spatial audio. .
The center frame supported by the built-in camera is a function that follows the movement of the user and automatically fits within the frame. It makes video calls feel more connected, and can also be used as the "ultimate video conferencing display." It also features a studio-quality 3-mic array with a low noise floor for crystal-clear calls and voice recordings. It also supports "Hey Siri" to call the voice assistant Siri.
Equipped with a 6-speaker sound system that pursues the fidelity of the original sound, claiming to be the best Mac ever. Four force-cancelling woofers deliver powerful bass with minimal distortion, while two high-performance tweeters take care of the mids and highs. It supports spatial audio for Dolby Atmos compatible music and videos, realizing a "viewing experience like being in a movie theater".
The back is equipped with 3 USB-C ports and 1 Thunderbolt port. USB-C allows you to connect various peripherals, storage and networking directly to your display at speeds up to 10Gb/s, and you can connect your Mac to the Thunderbolt port with a single cable. You can connect up to three Studio Displays to your MacBook Pro to create a powerful editing desk or animation workspace.
Also, it can supply 96W of power to Mac notebooks, and can also fast charge a 14-inch MacBook Pro from the Studio Display.
The body size/weight varies depending on the configuration, but in the case of the standard stand, it is 62.3 x 16.8 x 47.8 (width x depth x height) / 6.3 kg. A built-in stand tilts the display up to 30 degrees to meet the needs of different workspaces.
As an option, a stand with a counterbalanced arm that can tilt up to 30 degrees and a total width of 105 mm and a VESA mount adapter that supports both portrait and landscape are available.
In addition, we provide the option of Nano-texture glass, which is also introduced in Pro Display XDR, for work spaces with strong light sources such as sunlight. It diffuses light to minimize glare.
Apple will also offer new colors for the separately sold Magic Keyboard with Touch ID (with numeric keypad), Magic Trackpad, and Magic Mouse, with silver and black color options to "enhance the design of the Studio Display." The price is 20,800 yen for the keyboard, 15,800 yen for the trackpad, and 10,800 yen for the Magic Mouse.
