Summary

Apple introduced the Studio Display XDR in March 2026 as a higher-end 27-inch 5K option with a 120Hz refresh rate and a mini-LED Retina XDR panel. Apple says it delivers up to 1000 nits of full-screen SDR brightness, up to 2000 nits peak brightness for HDR, and 2304 local dimming zones, while also supporting Adaptive Sync.

Like the updated Studio Display, it includes a 12MP Center Stage camera with Desk View, a studio-quality three-mic array, and a six-speaker system with force-cancelling woofers. Connectivity is upgraded to Thunderbolt 5 with up to 140W of host charging, alongside one downstream Thunderbolt 5 port and two USB-C ports.
