Fixing a crucial aspect in Apple's Studio Display stands to improve the experience for both gamers and creative professionals alike.
The tech world is abuzz with rumors about Apple's next move in the monitor market. The long-awaited update to the Studio Display, Apple's advanced monitor for creative professionals, is hoped to join the mini-LED party and feature a significant upgrade - a higher refresh rate.
The Studio Display, launched in March 2022, has been limited to a 60Hz refresh rate for over three years. This limitation could be addressed in the next iteration, with rumors suggesting a possible 120Hz refresh rate, a move that could significantly improve the gaming experience for Apple users and make the Studio Display one of the best monitors around for both creatives and gamers.
Apple's recent improvements in gaming performance, coupled with the higher refresh rate, could bring noticeable benefits to a significant portion of its target audience. For instance, professionals working in game design would be able to verify the performance of test builds without being limited by the monitor's refresh rate.
Moreover, the higher refresh rate on the Studio Display could also bring noticeable benefits to creatives who edit high-refresh-rate video footage. The improved responsiveness could lead to smoother workflows and more efficient editing.
Rival monitors now offer OLED panels and higher refresh rates for lower prices, but Apple's latest chips offer genuine gaming performance, making the potential upgrade to the Studio Display an exciting prospect.
However, it's important to note that while rumors suggest Apple may use mini-LED technology in the next Studio Display's monitor, there's no word yet on whether the refresh rate will change.
When initially reviewed, the Apple Studio Display was found to have some glaring omissions and frustrating oversights. An upgrade to the refresh rate could help address some of these issues, making the Studio Display a more compelling choice for its $1,599 price tag and its primary aim at designers, artists, and other creatives.
As we await official confirmation from Apple, the market offers alternatives such as the Dough Spectrum Canvas, which offers 6K resolution, for those seeking higher refresh rates in the meantime. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development.
