That's fine for most tasks, but it can't match the 120Hz ProMotion adaptive refresh rate available on other Apple products like the 2021 MacBook Pros and iPad Pros. Sadly, the Studio Display's refresh rate tops out at 60Hz. However, the Studio Display lacks support for the HDR Video reference mode, which makes sense since the Display can't display HDR (high dynamic range) content.

These modes adjust settings like white point, gamma and color space to accommodate creatives working on different types of projects. The Display also supports the P3 wide color gamut and comes pre-configured with a range of reference modes that creatives can switch between as projects demand. The 27-inch 5K (5,120 x 2,880 pixels) screen on the Studio Display looks beautiful in person, displaying over 14.7 million pixels at a density of 218 ppi (pixels per inch). Apple Studio Display vs Pro Display XDR: Screen So if you prefer your displays in portrait mode vs landscape, the Pro Display XDR can accommodate your needs better than the new Studio Display. However, it's a well-designed stand that uses magnets to make connecting it to the Pro Display XDR a cinch, and its unique construction allows you to both adjust the height and tilt of the display and rotate it. The Pro Display XDR doesn't come with a stand despite costing $5,000 (or $6,000 with nano-texture glass), and if you want one you'll need to pay Apple an additional $999 for the matching Pro Stand. Unfortunately, it's going to cost you a ridiculous amount of money. So if you need the biggest, most beautiful Apple display possible, you want the Pro Display XDR. Like the Studio Display the Pro Display XDR is a big slab of metal and screen, but it's dominated by a beautiful 32-inch 6K display that you can also get with a nano-texture glass coating for an astounding additional $1,000. The Pro Display XDR looks quite a bit like the Studio Display, except it's bigger, older and more expensive. The Apple Studio Display has a lot of built-in extras for a monitor, including a 12MP ultrawide webcam, a six-speaker sound system, a triple-mic recording array and an onboard A13 Bionic chip.
