For creative professionals seeking an upgrade, the Apple Studio Display is our absolute favorite monitor right now, especially for those wanting a 5K display for Retina output from a Mac. That said, as far as 27-inch monitors go, the Studio Display is quite expensive. But deals can be found, if you know where to search. We’ve rounded up the deals, discounts and bonuses available right now on the Studio Display so that you can pick the best offer for your needs, hassle-free.
The Studio Display monitor from Apple debuted back in March 2022 alongside the Mac Studio desktop. It has a 27-inch 5K Retina screen, an A13 chip, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera with Center Stage, and a high-fidelity, six-speaker sound system. It’s Apple’s most affordable external display in its current lineup and is now readily available to buy from Apple directly or from third-party retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy and B&H.

Best Apple Studio Display deals
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 one of the few retailers offering straightforward discounts on the Studio Display right now, though savings are only available on select configurations. Get the base model for $150 off, with other models coming in and out of stock right now.
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 $1,845, which saves you $54.
Adorama is also offering a $41 discount on the standard glass model with a tilt- and height-adjustable stand. Additionally, the Adorama Rewards program is free to sign up for and allows you to earn points to redeem as credit against future purchases.
Best Buy has nearly all configurations of the Apple Studio Display available to buy, but no direct discounts right now. You can snag three months of Apple Music and Apple TV Plus, if you’re new or returning to any of those services, as well as Norton 360.
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.
