Prime Day is kicking off its deals with a bang. If you were looking for a new monitor in the summer sales, a new Mac monitor may be a great fit. If you're a using it to work with videos, photos or text, having the right display can make all the difference and at 27 inches across and with a 5K resolution, Apple's Studio Display hits the sweet spot. Usually this monitor would cost you a pretty penny but thanks to Apple's Prime Day deals, the Studio Display is now back down to its record-low price of $1,300.
Amazon is offering the $299 discount across a range of models. It starts with the standard glass, tilt-adjustable model that now sells for just $1,300 rather than the $1,599 that you'd normally spend on one at the Apple Store. Looking to upgrade to the light-defusing nano-texture glass? You'll save the same amount of cash and now pay $1,600 (though we have seen that model hit $1,500 in the past). Note that we don't know how long either of these discounts will last, so bear that in mind.
The Apple Studio Display 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 that CNET's Lori Grunin loved. The three-mic array makes for clear audio on calls and voice recordings. More than 14 million pixels and 1 billion colors at 600 nits of brightness make for a phenomenal display. And an antireflective coating also ensures better readability, while the nano-texture glass option further minimizes glare.
