Take a tour of Studio Display XDR
Your Apple Studio Display XDR has the following features.
Display. Studio Display XDR has a 27-inch XDR display with 5K Retina resolution, which means you have plenty of room for working on projects.
Camera. The 12MP Center Stage camera with support for Desk View keeps you looking your best when you’re onscreen. With Center Stage, your video calls are even more engaging. Center Stage adjusts the camera, making sure you stay front and center even as you move around or have others join the call. And Desk View lets you show an overhead view of your desk and your face at the same time. If the green indicator light next to the camera is glowing, the camera is on.
Speakers. The Studio Display XDR has an innovative six-speaker sound system so that you can enjoy a full range of sound, creating a robust, high-quality audio experience with accurate mids and crisp highs.
The speakers also support Spatial Audio. With Spatial Audio, you can enjoy an immersive, theater-like environment while watching videos with Dolby Atmos, rock out like you’re in the front row when listening to songs on Apple Music, or feel like you’re in the room when you’re on video calls.
Microphones. The studio quality three-microphone array that’s built into your Studio Display XDR helps you communicate and record audio with clarity.
Thunderbolt 5 (USB-C) ports. There are two Thunderbolt 5 (USB-C) ports on your Studio Display XDR: one upstream port for you to connect your Mac or iPad, and one downstream port for connecting additional displays, storage, and networking. With Thunderbolt 5, you can transfer data at up to 80 Gb/s when connecting external storage devices.
Note: Both Thunderbolt ports are marked with the Thunderbolt icon 
USB-C ports. Connect and charge even more devices and accessories with the two additional downstream USB-C ports. You can transfer data at up to 10 Gb/s when connecting external storage devices.
1000 nits of brightness. Studio Display XDR can sustain up to 1000 nits of brightness across the full screen, providing high visibility in direct sunlight, and allowing pros to edit SDR and HDR content with accurate color, ensuring consistent, bright, and detailed imagery without dimming.
2000 nits peak brightness. Studio Display XDR can support up to 2000 nits of peak HDR brightness in a portion of the screen. This means that a pro can choose to have incredibly high peak brightness to edit an HDR photograph or video.
Extreme Dynamic Range. Extreme Dynamic Range (XDR) takes brightness and contrast to the extreme, surpassing what is considered standard dynamic range (SDR) and high dynamic range (HDR).
P3 + Adobe RGB color. You can use the P3 and Adobe RGB color gamuts at the same time. With a P3 wide-gamut color space, you get a vibrant, true-to-life color palette for digital cinema and HDR screens, while Adobe RGB provides richer greens and cyans ideal for print workflows.
120 Hz and Adaptive Sync. A refresh rate of 120 Hz and Adaptive Sync—a technology that automatically adjusts the refresh rate of your Studio Display XDR to match the frame rate of your content—make it ideal for gaming, video playback, and UI responsiveness. See the Apple Support article Change the refresh rate and Use Adaptive Sync in the Mac User Guide.
True Tone technology. True Tone automatically adapts the color of the display to match the light in your environment. Using an ambient light sensor, True Tone adjusts to your overall lighting environment, making your viewing experience feel natural and allowing for more exact adjustments to the color and intensity of your display, so you can have accurate viewing in all lighting conditions. For more information, see Displays settings on Mac.
Reference modes. Studio Display XDR includes several built-in reference modes (known as presets) that cover typical content creation workflows across several media types. You can use the reference modes included with your display to match the production requirements of HDR video, digital photography, print media, and other content types. Each reference mode sets the color space, white point, gamma, and brightness on your display. You can also create custom reference modes to tailor them to your specific workflow needs by setting the color gamut, white point, luminance, and transfer function operations. For more information, see Use the Preset menu in Displays settings and Create custom reference modes in the Mac User Guide.
Note: The Studio Display XDR undergoes a state-of-the-art factory display calibration process to ensure a high degree of color accuracy. Color professionals who use a workflow tuned to a particular calibration instrument can recalibrate the Studio Display XDR. See Customize the calibration using the Pro Display Calibrator in the Mac User Guide.
Medical Imaging Presets. Trained medical professionals can use medical imaging presets on Studio Display XDR for specific use in medical imaging workflows. For more information, see Use the Preset menu in Display settings on your Mac.
1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. A contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1 provides an incredible range of contrast, which along with extreme brightness, better replicates what the eye can see in real life.
Super-wide viewing angle. Polarizer technology reduces light leakage 25x off-axis versus a typical LCD display, providing accurate viewing from any angle.
