The standard Apple Studio Display currently features a 5K resolution at a 60Hz refresh rate, not a 120Hz ProMotion panel. A 120Hz refresh rate is currently exclusive to Apple's 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro line.

Can you use the Apple Pro Display XDR with a standard Windows PC?

Yes, you can use the Pro Display XDR with a Windows PC that has a compatible Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 port. However, you may lose out on macOS-specific features and will need to manually control the display's brightness through the monitor's physical controls.

What is the difference between the standard and nano-texture glass on Apple displays?

Apple offers a nano-texture glass option that etches the surface at the nanometer level to scatter light and drastically reduce glare. This option is significantly more expensive than the standard glass but is highly recommended for bright, sunlit editing environments.
