Media reviews say the standard Studio Display refreshes the panel with upgraded camera, speakers, and ports, while the Studio Display XDR upgrades to a mini-LED backlight with up to 2,000 nits peak brightness and improved contrast, making it a strong but expensive option that many won’t need for general use. Marques Brownlee calls it better in every way than the Pro Display XDR, though its $3,299 starting price targets a professional market; color gamut hits about 86% with Adobe RGB, and some builders note design quirks like the integrated power cable and thick bezels. Overall, it’s top-tier for high-end Mac setups, but the price is a major consideration.
Apple’s Studio Display XDR can reach 120Hz only on Macs with newer Apple Silicon chips (M2 Pro/Max/Ultra, M3 Pro/Max/Ultra, M4 Pro/Max, M5 Pro/Max/Ultra).

The M5 iPad Pro supports 120Hz with the display, while most other compatible iPads stay at 60Hz. The XDR starts at $3,299 (vs $1,599 for the standard Studio Display) with pre-orders beginning soon and a March 11 launch.

The base Studio Display remains 60Hz, with the XDR priced at $3,299 (nano-texture glass raises to $3,599).
Digital Foundry’s verdict is that Resident Evil Requiem looks stunning on all modern consoles, but the PS5 Pro version delivers the definitive experience thanks to near-native 4K visuals achieved via temporal upscaling, robust ray tracing, and the game’s hair strand tech; base PS5/Xbox Series X are similar with slightly lower image quality, Series S drops hair work and runs at a lower resolution, and the 120Hz mode disables RT/upscaling, highlighting Pro as the standout choice.
