It took quite a time, but Apple has finally re-entered the consumer desktop computer monitor space with the Studio Display.
It’s been a decade since Apple last made and sold a consumer pc monitor; the long-beloved Apple Cinema Display was discontinued in 2011. Apple has instead partnered with LG to sell monitors the South Korean company has made for Macs through Apple’s online store. LG’s monitors generally received decent reviews, but they weren’t much to write home about, all things considered.
Not so along with the new Studio Display, it seems. The new monitor is designed by Apple, not LG, and it features Mini LED technology, which was previously seen in Apple’s pricy, pro-focused Pro Display XDR monitor, the 12. 9-inch iPad Pro, and the particular 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros. Mini LED has also appeared in high-end TVs from Samsung.
