For me the main problem with the Studio Display is the lack of connectivity. I have a MacBook Pro and a Linux desktop PC, I want to use them both with the same monitor. The Studio Display only has 1 video input, so I would have to keep swapping cables or set up some clumsy external video switching.
Combine that with the lack of mounting flexibility, and other odd design choices like the semi-fixed proprietary power cord, the Studio Display hasn’t seemed that compelling to me. For the premium price it seems to have a lot of limitations.
I’ve seen others complain mostly about price, issues with the webcam, or it not using a newer display technology. Personally I just want to see more options and competition in the 5K space, and other HiDPI resolutions generally.
This seems like a very good alternative to the Studio Display, least of all because how much Apple screwed up with the Studio Display.
What did they screw up? (Other than the price)
