DISPLAY FAVOURITES: Apple Studio Display

Apple's 27-inch monitor is an ideal Mac monitor and it couldn't have come soon enough

Since the 27-inch Thunderbolt display was discontinued in 2016, your options for pairing your MacBook or Mac mini with a screen has been limited to third-party displays. Fortunately, the Apple Studio Display answered that call by providing a relatively affordable monitor solution. But this is far more than just a monitor.

The reason many users would prefer to have an Apple-branded monitor as part of their home set-up is the design. The Studio Display satisfies this desire by looking suitably stylish. It looks much like the latest 24-inch iMac, but without that elongated bottom bezel or the bright colours.

That larger bezel on the top of the screen contains the built-in webcam. This is no basic webcam. It's a 12MP Ultra Wide camera that features Apple's Centre Stage technology to track your face and crop in to fill the frame.
