Apple Studio Display After 2 Years: The HONEST Truth (Long Term Review)

This is my long term review of the Apple Studio Display after 2 years of daily use. I'm going to be sharing whether or not I think that this monitor is worth it in 2024 and who should buy it.

I’ve had NO ISSUES with color between monitor and iPhone. There may be some settings off. We use them at work and have no such issues.

Picked one up yesterday and unboxed this afternoon once I got the area set. It is sweet. Bright, beautiful, and bodacious. When I first played something I thought the sound wasn't that good...but I hadn't switched from my MBP speakers to the ASD. Click BOOM. The sound is so satisfying....and everything else you said is so true. Ordered a 12South backpack for the time machine. AND at $300 off...so worth it. It may even improve my posture because now I am looking up instead of down on my desk...Again, THANKS!

Good review and helpful for my decision to buy. Only question left is....What was that cool ambient light to the left of the monitor?

Bro, at 1:30 you’ve got True Tone turned on. Well of course the images from the studio display aren’t going to match with the iPhone!! You have to make sure you turn off True Tone when editing on Lightroom and comparing with what’s on your iPhone.

In 2024, you can find this item at a cheaper price. I saw it for $1, 200 in the U.S., but again, is it really worth it? Also, people who purchased it loved it.

Yo for the Photo editing Part you might want to stay away from full brightness. There are actually some color profiles built in specifically for that which even lock the brightness at a dimmer level. 600nit is just way to bright, typically calibrated monitors sit at 120nit or even under that for photo work. (Also might want to turn off true tone for an accurate white balance :) )

1:11 The Display is positioned way too low for you and you are crouching. Ergonomic tip: the top of the Display should be at eye level. Cheers.

I wait for the next model to finally get it.

A 2k monitor with a 60 hz refresh rate is kinda wild lol
