@sixcolors I was pricing 27” 5K displays last month. All the other ones were less expensive. But I needed 1 with camera, speakers, and microphone. Most others lacked camera and microphone.
The Apple Studio display lacks an HDMI port and the ability to easily switch between 2 computer inputs. I would love that even if I relagated my work MacBook at home to 4K input. Meanwhile I manually switch the cable between my MacStudio and my work iMac. Oh, for a 5K KVM switch.

@paulc @sixcolors I really love the full integration of decent speakers, webcam, and microphone that I have in my ancient TB displays.
In mid 2020 I bought a 32" 4k monitor for my wife with similar specs, and its internal components are absolute crap.

I'd really hoped the ASD would have HDR and/or high refresh... Now I think when these TB monitors die, I'm gonna have to go third party.
