But it is not that common on Windows machines. And that is fine for connecting it to a Mac because they all have Thunderbolt ports. The only input the display supports is a Thunderbolt 3 port, which uses a USB-C style connector.
Unlike most monitors, the connection options are pretty limited.
Connecting the display to your Windows machineįirst of all, we need to look at connecting the Studio Display to a Windows machine. I am now spoilt, and there is no way to return to that awful Samsung display. And now that I tried it, I think I might need to buy another Studio Display for the Mac Studio. I figured I could use it for my upcoming Mac Studio, but in the meantime, it would be an excellent replacement for that terrible Samsung display. But I had the opportunity to order one for pickup on day 1 of the Studio Display launch date. Once the Mac Studio becomes available again, I intend to buy one to replace my iMac Pro. The only thing okay about that monitor is its size and resolution: 4K at 32 inches, but otherwise, it is terrible.
I run Mac and Windows because I develop software for both Mac and Windows and am currently using an ageing iMac Pro and a pretty good HP Elitedesk Mini connected to an awful Samsung M7 display. But unlike most people, I intend to use it for my Windows machine, which does not make much sense but hear me out.
