But that would make the glaring lack of HDR playback even glarier. The Studio Display's webcam and speakers are really what give it the iMac-ish sensibility, and one of the reasons I think Apple intends to permanently replace the now-discontinued 27-inch iMac with this monitor plus your choice of one of the mini desktops, the Mac Mini or the new Mac Studio. (The specs don't list HDR10 support, which is required to understand HDR data.) Yes, 600 nits doesn't make for great HDR, but I've used DisplayHDR 600 displays with Windows and it's passable. The 1,600-nit Pro Display XDR is bright enough for HDR content editing, while the Studio Display doesn't support HDR, even for playback, as far as I can tell.

I don't doubt that Apple's nailed the color accuracy, but there are a lot of unknowns at the moment. Rather than say, simply scale back the brightness, reduce the size and simplify the stand of the Pro, which would serve the same audience for far less money, Apple's created a mainstream monitor that will likely be good enough for the larger group of creators-slash-Apple devotees. But it's still left me waiting for a less-expensive model of the Pro Display XDR. Many were hoping the $1,599 monitor would be a smaller, less expensive version of its $4,999 sibling, the Pro Display XDR.

A sigh of disappointment emerged from a lot of folks when Apple announced its new Studio Display at its March product launch event.
