Decided to review a Studio Display with VESA stand. Previous experience with iMac with VESA was quite a success, so I got curious how will it be with the Studio Display. Did a lot of measurements and tests, so hope you’ll enjoy it!

99.9% of reviews on this monitor are variations of "wow, these speakers are great, the design is sleek, the camera is not the best, and its really bright" - this is the best review I've seen on this. Great job!
This is an incredible review of this display, and I’ve seen them all.. Thank you for taking the time to creat such a comprehensive review! 🙌
This really is the best Studio Display review on UA-cam. Excellent work. Appreciated the power draw info.
this is an astonishingly good video. insane and unique attention to detail in both the aspects of the product you chose to show, and how you chose to show them. this is the first video i saw of yours, and i was genuinely shocked that you didn't have 200k+ subs. keep it up!
This was one of the best Studio Display reviews I've seen. Glad that I can use buy PS4/PS5 on the Studio Display with an adapter. I've been looking for an answer to this question for weeks. Thanks!
it is 60hz tho, keep that in mind!
Yes, I agree
Great video. Helpful info. Keep up the great work your channel is about to grow!
Happy to have found this review! So helpful and interesting, too. Worth every minute spent watching it. Thanks!
Great review!! I've been waiting for a good vesa mount version review
thanks for this video man, you prolly spent a lot of time making it. really informative
This is such a information dense review - never came across anything like this. Thanks!
Absolutely phenomenal video. Keep up the great work. Subscribed
Thanks for the rotation tip …THAT Is DOPE !!!
This is the best Studio Display review I have seen! Super helpful and informative. This included all the information I was looking for, and a lot of things I hadn’t even considered! Thanks so much!
Great info, well done
Man was this a good review. Definitely checking out your other videos.
Real good review, surely one of the best! All sides covered, great stuf!
Very good! You just give information everyone need! Thank you!
Great review🔥🔥🔥
Fantastic review!
Really great video, nice work!
Brilliant review, thank you very much!
Best review video on the display EVER.
Excellent work. Thank you.
this review is really good
This is the most complete review I've seen of the Studio Display so far and trust me I've watched a LOT of these. 😆
Thank you for your work, you've gained one sub!
agree the best one .. also got it but with 35euros vesa mount .. perfect
That's how reviews should be done. Subscribed.
Really good review.
Subbed and liked . I just received my second vesa mount studio display today and forgot there’s no screws . I have an ergotron dual arm stored away from 12 years ago , and of course misplaced the screws if it came with any .
Time to go shopping ,but I really like the thumb screws ,so I expect them to be unavailable in this one horse town where I live
very useful, thanks!
Great video, thank you. 😊
Hey! Wonderful content! What’s that (white) mount you are using at work ? Links are highly appreciated.
I have the very same vesa stand and I just love it.
This is the best review.
Great review, I'd like to see some speakers test/comparison though.
Thanks! Yeah, I know... I don't have an accurate microphone to capture the speakers, so I decided to save us all a bit of time here. :) I think MaxTech does compare the speakers though, you may check them out.
9:00 Dude! This is the smartest way I've seen to compare things.
Humans have horrible memories. So putting things side by side and INSTANTLY switching to each as your talking was a brilliant move for this review. So many other reviewers do some cutaway transition "Now let's listen to the mics from the studio display" and in that 3 second clip, your human ear has already lost reference to the original audio.
So so smart!
And the 3-up video feeds was equally perfect. Most reviewers speed through these tests. This gives the viewer (aka: me) very little time to get acclimated to what I'm seeing and hearing. You're smart for being patient, and trusting that the viewer knows how to fast forward or use time stamps.
Immediate subscribe!
Great Job!!!
I watched quite a lot of reviews about Studio display since I ordered the same as yours on 21st Mar, and just receive it today. To be honest, your video is the most useful for a common customer to watch. Many daily using tips and guides, really very good ! Thank you for your good job again! Wish some more!
Thank you, Zhenyu! Have fun with your display!
Best review
Thanks for the tip for rotation. I do ALSO miss the Touch Bar... so I'm keeping my 2019 MacBook Pro for life haha... maybe not... but for a while ;)
This review is awesome! Thanks that you were able to show a way how to connect a studio display to a console and older devices!
Hi Alex - great review, thank you for making it. Hey if you use the studio displays in portrait mode, what is the effect on the video camera for conferencing? (Are there options to force a certain orientation?). Cheers.
Did you ever get any answers on this? A decent webcam is very important for me.
Awesome & Thanks :)
HEY MAN..thx for the review..is there a way ( or some tricks)to control the brightness of the monitor when using it with a windiws custom build pc?
Finally, someone who prounoucnes "VESA" correctly! 😂Thanks for the nice review.
Hi . I Really like your presentation and your edits. Can we expect a video of you studio tour and how you do edit and shoot videos. In the video at 5:20, when you show the gap b/w wall and monitor, How did you shoot the shot?. It's really amaging.
Hi, thanks! My flat is my studio, so every time I shoot something, I just move the stuff around and prepare the scene :) That shot was simply done by putting the table with the display as close to the wall as possible and then by placing a key light on the table, so it would highlight the gap.
The Cinema Displays available from August 2006 also had non-detachable cables.
Tradition 💪🏻
How long is the power cord? I’m thinking about mounting it upside down.
Like others have said, this is the most authentic and genuinely helpful review I’ve come across for the ASD. It answered some nagging uncertainties I had about purchasing it that other reviews didn’t address.
I saw your link for the single arm VESA mount, but would you mind sharing a link for the exact double mount you’re using on your desktop at 1:10? I’m finding similar products, but I really like the aesthetic of the particular one you show in the video.
Thanks :) That stand is a generic one, has many names: OL-3L, OA-7X, Viozon Stand… Here’s Amazon and AliExpress:

Amazing video, very helpful review. At the start of the video you mentioned a double mount can also be used. Please share a link from Amazon UK where I can buy a good quality double mount which would hold this studio display as well as a new M2 MacBook Air with a 15 inches screen size. Thank you
Fantastic review! Where'd you get your wallpaper?

What a great review about the mould ting and use of the studio display.
makes a change from the so called "gurus"review, who seem to lose the point of their reviews.
thank you very much
well done
Can the usb c power HomePod mini ? Will that be possible for using using 2 HomePod mini as speakers?
what stand are you using do you have a amazon link
This is the most complete Studio Display review that I've seen ! Thanks for sharing ! Also : 6 months later do you think that this is still a device that suits your needs ?
Definitely overpriced. If one can get it on sale or in good condition via ebay - then it's definitely a neat addition to the work setup.
I have watched an ungodly amount of Studio Display videos, and yours is by far the most complete.
Heck, you've tested things nobody else did.
Thanks for taking the time to express your impressions. Very appreciated.
What happens to the webcam when the monitor is rotated to portrait mode?
I have to say: you have been making the best and most extensive Studio Display review I could find. Why did no-one else go that far? Sometimes I wonder. Apple should hire you - you're selling their products. Keep up the good work! Thank you!
Thanks for the words of appreciation :) This is a hobby channel where I do the videos which I just enjoy making. And it was fun connecting all different stuff to the Display and see what happens. Oh, and I guess Apple never hires me if they’ve watched my Homepod videos :D
never say never, please. 😀
Apple TV with the adapter will be only at 1080p, not 4k, is it correct? Thanks!
The latest Apple TV with that specific adapter will do 4K.
@@GeeksTable I have the 2017 model, I'll change it. Thanks! Your review is the best 💕
Dude those wallpapers 🤩
Link pls 🙏🏽
Nice review
Sure! There you go: basicappleguy.com/basicappleblog/studio-display-schematic
Awesome review! How do I get the studio display to rotate to portrait mode? Can’t find it in the display settings. I only see options to rotate my MacBook’s display. Thanks
Thanks! You’ll be surprised but… just rotate it. :) Since it has an iPhone 11 inside, it reacts to rotation as an iPhone.
Wow! I feel dumb haha. I rotated it but I was rotating the wrong way so it wasn’t changing 😅 thanks for the response!
wonderful in depth review. unlike others who just parrot the narrative this was hugely useful. made me order one now as i was looking for this and viewfinity s9 this review made me buy apple one instead after watching your viewfinity review. both are good but i will prefer apple for the build quality and symmetry.
I had no clue that external ssd speeds were slower on the M1 MacBook Pros vs Intel. Studio display will be a speed boost in my case. Great review!
Best review ever for this pretty good (but overpriced) monitor! Thanks!
how would i set up Another studio display to that setup`?
Thanks,
The best Studio Display review out there, no doubt.
How good is the image quality when connecting a PS4 Pro to the display? Does the resolution stay at 4K or is it upscaled to the display's native 5K resolution? Thanks for presenting this possibility since I hadn't really been able to find an answer as to whether you could connect a console to the Studio Display by hardware and thought Remote Play would remain the only option.
I have a PS4 slim. The quality is fine to me, but yeah it’s always upscaling to 5k. So it you output a game from 4k to 5k, it’s fine. If it’s something like FullHD, then you’ll deal with PS4 upscaling to 4K and then display upscaling to 5K. I haven’t tested but might be a bit uncomfy.
Thanks!
Excellent review! I've had a refurbished Studio Display ($1359) for a week connected with a 15" MacBook Air and I really love how it completes my overall desk setup and looks super clean too! Sick of burnt out USB-C hubs, excess wiring, stuff just deciding not to play nice with each other, external webcam and most definitely the wakeup delay w/ non-Apple displays! Finally said "screw it" and ordered one lol. All in all, yes it's not a cheap monitor but god damned if it does look and sound amazing and "it just works (tm)"! Super excited that it also just went on sale at Amazon for $1349 brand new too, so will swapping my refurb out for the brand new one (though never had any issues with Apple Refurbished products) as I can also get my 5% Amazon cash back. That makes this guy $1281.55 (No tax in NH - Live Free or Die lol) all in and I am absolutely content! Hoping to keep this display going for a very looooong time to use with the ever-rotating slate of MacBooks that come and go far more frequently as the upgrade bug comes haha. Also bought the $49.99/year AppleCare+ to ensure I don't have to cough up such a crazy amount of money again in the foreseeable future to get one of these. I've read online that AppleCare+ can potentially be used to cover the labor portion of the cost to have an Apple Store swap out your stand/VESA mount in the future should your needs change. Fortunately the base model tilt only stand suits my needs just fine for my desk setup!
Is the webcam honestly ok enough for like weekly zoom calls and stuff? Does it look presentable enough that you don't look like "the person with the cheap camera?"
@@PSBrathwaite I mean, it looks okay enough like it’s not insanely bad, just unusually crappy quality for an Apple product that costs that much. To be fair, I think my own video looks worse on my screen because it’s a large 27”… I don’t notice it on my wife’s laptop screen at all. Just seems to have a lot of noise and very slow automatic lighting adjustment.
when did you order it and when did it arrive? Are you in the U.S, what part?
I ordered it the date it was announced (March, 8th) and it arrived on Apri, 11th. I’m in Germany, not US.
What about that wallpaper? Link and nice vid
basicappleguy.com
Can you please update us on the verdict on the webcam?
I’ve recently used it in my Samsung Viewfinity S9 review. Check the webcams chapter here: ua-cam.com/video/EgdOiYAwCbU/v-deo.html
I like the angle. The quality is meh.
Immediate like for rotating laptop screen!!! This doesn't work on my OLD 2012 MacBook Pro Retina (macOS Catalina 10.15.7). But I don't care. Because I will use this with my next MacBookPro with a Studio Display next to it. So cool!
Thanks so much for this review, most informative of all apple studio displays out there. I currently have the exact LG 850 you've used in this review, and was literally ready to go to apple store to pick up the new display, but thanks to this vid, I've decided that it's not worth my time. And yes, I have unlimited budget and I do code mostly, so 5k is a sweet upgrade, but not worth the hassle. Thank you for saving me few hours of my life!
Can you set the luminosity directly from le mac with the LG screen?
You have to use a 3rd party app like DisplayBuddy.
Hi there, I've been looking forever for the original file that Apple supplies in "/System/Library/Desktop Pictures". I keep finding converted PNG or JPEG images that are high resolution, but not the original HEIC file. If anyone with a Pro Display XDR wants to bless us with the OG file right out of the library folder that would be amazing!
Perfect and honest review!! Thank you
To answer your questions: I preferred the M1 camera and the Intel microphone most. Thanks again
What cable would you need to connect an android phone and to display it on the studio display, in which the Android phone has a usb-c type connection?
I’d expect the default Thunderbolt cable to work just fine.
@@GeeksTable ty
Nice review - thanks! That Studio Display camera is a disgrace. ...and the fixed power cable - what a bummer.
One question I had't find an answer for: if you buy a VESA variation - can you later attach original stand to it? And wise versa - can I turn display with tilt + height stand into VESA ?
Nope. It’s a one-time choice. Confirmed it with Apple Customer Support Supervisor. The macrumours article that states otherwise is unfortunately wrong.
You can switch but it’s not cheap. Just did it at the Apple Store in Portland, Oregon. It’s $99 in labor plus the cost of the stand option you choose. Converted from Tilt Stand to VESA and the total was $218 ($99 in labor + $119). Took about a week. They ordered a backup new monitor in case in broke during the process. Definitely think VESA is the best option.
Out of topic: what keyboard is that at 15:50?
It’s Apple Keyboard A1048
@@GeeksTable It thought it was a nice-looking 3-rd party keyboard. Bummer.
The best review for Studio Display. I get the one with Visa mount. I would miss the apple logo on the back and signature stand and overall design, but the OG standard tilt stand doesn't function for me. Thanks for the nice review.. Cheers 🥂
Can you please tell me if your Studio Display connected to a MBP will auto rortate display when installed with VESA adaptor? Just got my fingers burnt wen I bought a 24" iMac and found out display autorotate WILL NOT WORK. Thanks in advance.
Yes, the Studio Display rotates automatically. Unfortunately with the 24" iMac you have to switch the modes manually.
@@GeeksTable I took my 16” MBP to the Mac dealership and connected it to a Studio Display but the image on the SD did not rotate when I rotated the SD. I tried rotating the display in both directions (CW & CCW) but to no avail. Have you any comments?
@@roderickmclean9927 Can't say for sure. Could be a different mirroring mode, old firmware on SD, intel cpu on the mac, some other setting... For me it worked out of the box, so unfortunately can't help but suggest to call Apple Tech Support if it's present in your country.
@@GeeksTable thank you very much for your help. Sadly no tech here in Southern Philippines. My Intel MBP is listed as compatible but as you have suggested it may not enjoy full functionality. Thanks a bunch Tim Cook. So I guess it may be time for an LG Ultrafine. Thanks again for you support.
What is the name of the stand in this video?
It’s Amazon Basics VESA Arm
Why would you ever need to remove the power cord, anyway?
Um, cable management?

I am very sad that it doesnt support daisy chain and I would need to spend another 400€ on a compatible 5k dock for Dual Monitor setup
Yeah, that’s a bummer. But there are cheaper Thunderbolt docks out there to support it (OWC and Caldigit have those for ~200-250€).
Surprising that the intel has the best mic
Waiting for night vision on the next webcam...but seriously this is one of the very best reviews of this product in an ocean of reviews on UA-cam.
by scaling also it takes off power
The way this VESA mount option designed makes it look more like an afterthought. This display beats all the records on a number of idiotic design choices in a single product.
It comes with a pair of black Apple stickers. Reposition one of those to solve your identity crisis...
Oh that’s why Apple includes them! :D
Its a nice display ,but I cant figure out how a professional can work on a 27” monitor.
I never understand why you tubers will by the regular stand and then complain about the stand when the could’ve just gotten the vesa at no extra cost
I totally agree. Wait awhile and get a refurb or steep discount at a 3/party site. Totally overpriced🤑
Great video, thanks to the random Reddit user who redirected me here :)
I thought you could use Apple TV on it but you cant
Disagree about comparing it to LG displays. I've owned LG displays and colors can never match up to the studio display and more importantly, it's so prone to screen burn in and ghosting.
4K display is a bad choice for comparison since macOS can't really work properly with displays with PPI other than 110/220, which none of 4K 27" have.
too much hassle, I prefer the apple stand
