Apple’s next-gen Studio Display could get huge upgrade to Mini LED

According to analyst Ross Young, Apple is preparing for the next generation of its 27-inch Studio Display with a big upgrade to Mini LED backlighting. It’s expected to be released in late 2025 or early next year.

Chris Welch for The Verge:

Apple’s Studio Display already delivers excellent color accuracy and a very sharp 5K resolution, but it can also be susceptible to minor backlight bleed and other irregularities that sometimes come with conventional LED panels.
Switching to Mini LED would further improve the monitor’s uniformity while making blacks look darker when watching videos. These are things I’d hope for from a display that starts at $1,599.
Apple could also take another swing at improving the built-in camera with this rumored Studio Display sequel. The camera quality was underwhelming when the product first came to market, which led Apple to issue a firmware update designed to boost its clarity. I’m still more than satisfied with the Studio Display’s integrated speakers, however, which have been good enough to negate the need for standalone speakers on my desk.

MacDailyNews Note: Mini LED displays are superior to traditional LED displays because they use smaller light-emitting diodes, allowing for more precise backlighting and higher contrast ratios. This results in deeper blacks, brighter highlights, and better overall picture quality, especially in dark scenes. Mini LED also enables more local dimming zones, reducing light bleed and improving color accuracy compared to traditional LEDs. Additionally, Mini LED displays are more energy-efficient and can achieve higher brightness levels, making them ideal for HDR content. These enhancements provide a more immersive viewing experience, bridging the gap between traditional LED and advanced technologies like OLED.
