Product Overview

Introducing the Apple Studio Display XDR Standard Glass with Tilt and Height-adjustable Stand MFEL4X/A. With incredible brightness, contrast and colour, this 27-inch 5K Retina XDR display pushes extreme dynamic range further for true-to-life imagery. It’s a pro-level reference display that’s built to meet the demanding needs of those in film, video, design and gaming.

2,304 dimming zones from the Mini-LED backlight deliver remarkably precise lighting for deeper blacks, brighter whites and reduced halo or blooming. Exceptional brightness and contrast from 1,000 peak nits in SDR allowing work in more varied lighting conditions. The 2000 nits peak in HDR content is 25 per cent brighter, for even more outstanding contrast between highlights and shadows.

Studio Display XDR delivers incredibly smooth motion with a maximum 120Hz refresh rate and Adaptive Sync for greater responsiveness and lower latency - perfect for gaming. The remarkably wide colour gamut allows access to both P3 and Adobe RGB colour spaces, essential for designers and photographers who demand accuracy, especially when going to print. 

For those who work in particularly bright spaces — inside or out — the nano-textured glass reduces reflections to eliminate distractions while maintaining an excellent viewing experience.

Studio Display XDR offers calibration and a wide range of reference modes ideal for filmmakers, photographers, and graphic designers. VFX artists, animators and game developers will love how the display enhances the detail and responsiveness of their work. Adaptive Sync allows refresh rates to vary from 47Hz to 120Hz, lowering input lag and making 3D rendering more responsive.

Studio Display XDR features a 12MP Center Stage camera with impressive image quality and low-light performance. Stay perfectly in frame during video calls, even while moving around or others are joining. Desk View shows an overhead view of your workspace while keeping you on screen, and Edge Light illuminates your face by creating a virtual ring light around the edges of the display. The studio-quality three-mic array makes you the centre of attention on video calls and voice recordings - and with directional beamforming, everyone hears you — not what’s going on around you.

A six-speaker sound system features four force-cancelling woofers for bold bass,  and two high-performance tweeters deliver accurate mids and crisp highs. Spatial Audio immerses you in sound, like a personal cinema or concert hall. When you’re playing music or video with Dolby Atmos, all six speakers work together to create a sophisticated, cinematic sound stage. Altogether, this is the highest-fidelity speaker system ever created for Mac.

Studio Display XDR features two powerful Thunderbolt 5 ports for connecting a Mac, high-speed accessories or an additional Studio Display XDR (or two standard Studio Display monitors). Two USB-C ports can be used to connect your external drives, keyboard or mouse.

Q: Is the standard glass version a good choice for bright rooms?

A: It depends on the lighting. Standard glass gives the usual glossy Apple look, but it reflects more windows and overhead lights than the nano-texture option. If the screen faces strong light sources, glare will be more noticeable.

Q: Can the tilt and height-adjustable stand be swapped for a different mount later?

A: No. On Apple Studio Display, the stand or mount choice is built into the display and is not designed as a simple user swap. If VESA mounting might matter later, it is better to choose that version before purchase.

Q: Can Apple Studio Display charge a MacBook through the same cable?

A: Yes. The Thunderbolt connection can provide up to 96W to a compatible Mac notebook while carrying video and data. That suits many MacBook models, but some larger laptops under heavy load may prefer higher power for fastest charging.

Q: Does Apple Studio Display work properly with a Windows PC?

A: Yes, as a monitor it can work with compatible Thunderbolt or USB-C computers, including some Windows PCs. The main limitation is that features such as camera behaviour, audio processing and firmware support are best integrated with a Mac.

Q: Is Apple Studio Display suitable for a PS5 or Xbox setup?

A: No, not as a straightforward console display. Apple Studio Display uses Thunderbolt for its main video connection and does not have HDMI, so a PS5 or Xbox cannot plug in directly. It is designed primarily for Mac-based desk setups.

Q: Will the built-in camera, speakers and microphones work with every connected computer?

A: Not always in the same way. The display's built-in camera, microphones and speakers are most fully supported with compatible Macs, where software features are better integrated. Basic output may work elsewhere, but feature support can vary.
