Apple is working on multiple new displays, including an update to the Pro Display XDR that was launched alongside the Intel Mac Pro in 2019, Mark Gurman reports for Bloomberg News.
Mark Gurman for Bloomberg News:
It is possible, however, that the company’s next high-end display will ship after the Mac Pro, as the computer is further along in development than the monitor.
Those new monitors — like the Studio Display launched with the Mac Studio — will include Apple silicon. That helps the screens rely less on resources from the attached computer.
MacDailyNews Note: Apple’s Studio Display pairs beautifully with any Mac. It features an expansive 27-inch 5K Retina display, a 12MP Ultra Wide camera with Center Stage, and a high-fidelity six-speaker sound system with spatial audio. Featuring the A13 Bionic chip, Studio Display delivers unique experiences with its highly advanced camera and audio system. The ultimate video conferencing display, it includes a 12MP Ultra Wide camera with Center Stage, a feature that automatically keeps users centered in the frame as they move around for even more engaging video calls.

I have a Studio Display paired with an Intel 27-inch 5k iMac to extend my desktop. Originally, I had an LG 4K monitor attached but it just looked awful by comparison despite having some “specs” that were supposedly better.
I finally just took the plunge on the extra $1700 because I know my next Mac will be either a Mac Studio or if Apple would find there’s a market for an M2 Pro in the Mac mini chassis (which I believe there’s the thermal envelope for) then I’ll be ready in the display department.
I can’t emphasize enough how nice it is to have two of these 5K panels working in tandem for my efficiency. And they are calibrated so similarly that I can bounce my Photoshop work from one to the other and it’s seamless. Would 120 hz be be nice, or better blacks with local dimming? Sure. But as it sits it really was the worth the money for me personally.
My wife howled with laughter when I unveiled a 43 inch LG monitor for our desk and now I can’t get her off it is because she refuses to use anything else. Unscaled 4k ftw.
