What Reviewers Agree On
- 5K Retina resolution is stunning with razor-sharp text and excellent color accuracy
- Build quality and industrial design are quintessentially Apple — beautiful aluminum construction
- macOS integration is seamless with True Tone, Night Shift, and Apple ecosystem features
- The built-in speaker system is surprisingly good for a monitor
Deal Breakers
- Extremely high price for an SDR-only monitor with no HDR or local dimming
- Standard stand has only tilt adjustment — height-adjustable stand adds $400
- The 12MP webcam with A13 chip was initially poor and even after updates isn't flagship-quality
