While some folks might prefer to go with the more affordable Samsung Smart Monitors and similar-looking ViewFinity variants instead, there’s still nothing quite like the official Apple Studio Display and we are now tracking the standard glass model with the tilt-adjustable stand down at $1,299 shipped. Regularly $1,599, this $300 off the price you’ll pay from Apple and the lowest we can find.
While we have seen this model more typically sitting at $1,499 via Amazon, you’re still looking at $200 less than that and a price on par with the lowest price we have tracked there.
Rumors and reliable sources have a new Apple Studio Display in the works in Cupertino, but most estimates have it arriving sometime in 2026 at this point. Even if the schedule gets pushed ahead and we see a new model land later this year, you likely aren’t going to be seeing a straight up $300 price drop on it anytime soon – this is the lowest we have tracked on the model we are featuring here today after all and it took nearly a year to see any major price drops after release.
All of that said, in many ways a monitor is a monitor and this is a good one, a very good one. Not only is it one of the prettiest 27-inch displays you can buy, but it also lands with 5K resolutions, a built-in 12MP Ultra Wide camera with Center Stage for video calling, a six-speaker sound system with Spatial Audio, and a “ three-mic array for crystal-clear calls and voice recordings.” The tilt-adjustable stand is also worth mentioning alongside the 96W of power delivery to charge your gear.
If you’re looking for something that at the very least looks similar for less, the Samsung ViewFinity is currently $600 off right now – $300 under the price of today’s discounted Apple display.
