WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

Apple Studio Display

What it brings

The 5120 × 2880 display is rated at 218 pixels per inch and supports the P3 colour gamut and True Tone.
Manufacturer source
Thunderbolt 5 provides a host connection with up to 96 W of charging, plus a downstream Thunderbolt port and two USB-C accessory ports.
Manufacturer source

What to check

This selected stand adjusts for tilt only. Height adjustment and VESA mounting require different order configurations.
Manufacturer source
Apple lists specific compatible Macs and iPads; camera features and firmware updates require a Mac. Some older compatible iPads reduce accessory USB-C data speed to USB 2.
Manufacturer source

BenQ PD2730S

What it brings

The 5K IPS panel covers 100% sRGB and Rec.709 and 98% P3 with 1.07 billion colours, ships with a ΔE ≤2 calibration report, and is Pantone and Calman validated.
Manufacturer source
Thunderbolt 4 carries video, 10 Gbps USB data and up to 90 W charging over one cable, with a second Thunderbolt 4 port for daisy-chaining plus a KVM switch and multi-view modes.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
The stand offers 150 mm of height travel, 30° swivel each way and 90° portrait pivot, and a Hotkey Puck G3 is included.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

What to check

It needs about 242 mm of desk depth with the stand and weighs 8.3 kg, and the DisplayPort input is version 1.4 rather than 2.1.
Manufacturer source
Refresh is limited to 60 Hz with a 5 ms response rating, so it is aimed at detailed creative work rather than gaming.
