Weeks after launch, Apple has quietly reduced Studio Display XDR’s price by $400. The monitor now starts from $2,899, down from $3,299.
The reduced price only applies to the Studio Display XDR with the VESA mount adapter.
New lower starting price for Studio Display XDR
The Studio Display XDR replaces the Pro Display XDR in Apple’s monitor lineup. Announced in February, it’s the company’s flagship new monitor featuring a 27-inch mini-LED panel with 5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.
At $3,299, the Studio Display XDR is already significantly cheaper than the $5,000+ Pro Display XDR it replaces. With the latest price reduction from Apple, the gap is even bigger.
The lower price only applies to the Pro Display XDR with the VESA mount. Apple has also cut $400 off the nano-texture variant, reducing its price to $3,199.
Pricing for the monitor with the stand remains unchanged. It’s still priced at $3,299 for the standard glass and $3,599 for the nano-texture option.
The lower starting price for the VESA variant makes sense, as it does not come with the height and tilt-adjustable stand.
To go along with the lower price, Apple has adjusted the purchase flow for the Studio Display XDR on its website. The configurator now defaults to the model with the stand. So you’ll need to remove it to see the lower VESA mount pricing.
If you have already purchased a Studio Display XDR with VESA mount at full price, get in touch with Apple and ask for a refund. Or, if you are still within the return window, just return the monitor and get a new one at a lower price.
This price cut only applies to the Studio Display XDR. The $1,599 Studio Display costs the same, with or without the VESA mount.
