The Apple Studio Display is one of our favorite monitors and it's particularly handy if you're a Mac user. With its 27-inch size and 5K output, it's rated as a Retina display, meaning text and images are going to look great with no sign of individual pixels at a normal viewing distance. There aren't all that many alternatives for people who want a Retina experience with their Mac, and none of them are inexpensive, no matter which badge is on the front. Apple's monitor is among the best, as you might expect, with a high price to match. That is, unless you take advantage of one of the deals below.
The Studio Display monitor debuted back in March 2022 and hasn't changed since, which means you'll be getting the latest model no matter which configuration you buy. It has an A13 chip, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera with Center Stage and a high-fidelity, six-speaker sound system.
How much does the Apple Studio Display cost?
You can buy the Studio Display starting at $1,599 (£1,499, AU$2,499), or $1,499 for those eligible for Apple's education discount. You can also upgrade to nano-texture glass ($300) and a tilt- and height-adjustable stand ($400).

Besides Apple, there are a few retailers that have the Studio Display available for purchase. And while wait times were pretty long upon release, now retailers have some available for immediate purchase, with only a few models that are harder to track down. Some only have select configurations available, so check the retailer websites for what's in stock, as well as expected delivery dates.
Amazon is currently offering a number of discounts across the Apple Studio Display lineup, including $160 off the base model with a tilt-adjustable stand and the standard display finish. Note that these deals can often fluctuate, though, so be sure to check your preferred configuration before ordering.
It's a small discount, but Adorama is offering savings on the nano-textured glass model of the Apple Studio display at the moment. You can pick it up with the tilt-adjustable stand for $1,865, which saves you $34.
Best Buy has nearly all configurations of the Apple Studio Display available to buy with varying discounts, including $159 off the standard one with a tilt-adjustable stand.
If you order your Studio Display directly from Apple, there aren't any straightforward discounts for most people, but you can pay in installments with your Apple Card and enjoy 3% cash back. However, if you're a student, Apple offers a $100 discount on all configurations at its education store. Additionally, most Apple stores offer same-day in-store pickup, as well as next-day delivery in certain areas.
