Apple’s Studio Display is much less expensive than its $5, 000 Pro Display XDR. But with a starting price of $1, 600, it’s not cheap. For those who need 14, 745, 600 pixels, though, like video editors and graphic designers, there are few options besides Apple’s costly monitor, especially since Apple discontinued its 27-inch 5K iMac desktop upon announcing the Studio Display in March.
That didn’t stop YouTuber Lomaz Miani from finding an old iMac and turning it into a makeshift Studio Display for about $870 , webcam and 5K included.
In a video describing the process, Miani noted that the panel performance of the Studio Display is similar to what Apple has been offering for years, so he opted to use a 2014 iMac rather than the most recent 2020 27-inch iMac for his project. The iMac cost Miani $620, he said.
