Macworld Apple’s Macs are all up to date (well, except for the Mac Pro), but the company’s displays are a bit outdated. Good news, though: according to a report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, new models are in the works but they won’t arrive for at least several more months. It had previously reported that Apple is working on a new Studio Display (codenamed J427) for release by the end of 2025 or in early 2026. In this latest report, Gurman reiterates the same information but adds “one twist” that Apple is working on a second display (codenamed J527). Gurman speculates that the second display could be “a second model with a different screen size or set of specifications,” but it’s…

Macworld Listen, Apple monitors are great and all, but they’re expensiiiiive. And the truth is Samsung monitors aren’t just well-priced, but they’re also high enough quality that even some of the folks on our team have them on their desks. The 32-inch Samsung Smart Monitor M8, for instance, won’t just serve as a monitor, but also as a smart TV of sorts. Even better, this one’s only $400 at Amazon right now, a 43 percent discount from its $700 MSRP. That’s a mere fraction of what you’d pay for the Apple Studio Display. Sure, it may not be a 5K monitor like the Studio Display, but at 4K it’s still very sharp. It even comes with AI upscaling so even…

Macworld Apple’s Studio Display is as expensive as it is beautiful, so we’re always on the lookout for deals.

When we reviewed the Studio Display, we loved its gorgeous design and the good image quality, as well as an impressive sound system with spatial audio, which isn’t something we find often in monitors. “There’s no question as to the quality of the Studio Display—it’s a great all-around display that’s well-suited for general use and production environments alike,” our review reads. While we truly appreciate Apple’s sleek designs, it’s…

Macworld We love the Apple’s Studio Display, but it’s way too expensive. But, if you want a great alternative that won’t cost you nearly as much. The Alogic Clarity 4K monitor is 20% off, so you can get it for $800 right now. This is a 27-inch IPS monitor with a solid 4K resolution that looks gorgeous. That, of course, is important because if you’re going to bring a monitor into your Apple-friendly home, it needs to be at least as stylish as the Studio Display is. We reviewed the Alogic Clarity monitor and were impressed enough to give it a 4.5-star rating and our Editors’ Choice award. “It will appeal to Mac users with its Apple looks and is…
