Earlier this year, Apple decided to completely discontinue its Pro Display XDR, which was an amazing piece of hardware but hadn’t been updated in years and was still $6,000+. Their new lineup consists of a Studio Display and the new Studio Display XDR, which are impressive in their own right, but now both only offer 27-inch 5K displays. The XDR starts at an insane $3,299 and can be spec’d up to $3,600 before tax. So now the door is open for someone to deliver a larger retina-class monitor for Mac users, and that is exactly what the new Meirro Pro does. The Meirro Pro is a 32-inch, 6K monitor made of a full aluminum construction. It is a single-cable solution and brings an adjustable stand for just $1,199. I’ve been using it as my primary display, and while a few compromises helped Meirro reach that price, this might be the most convincing Studio Display alternative I’ve tested. Here’s what you need to know.

Design and specs
The very first thing you notice is just how similar it looks to the current Apple Studio Display. This monitor will naturally and aesthetically fit into any Apple setup. It is made of full CNC-machined aluminum, has an adjustable stand to match, and feels ultra premium. The construction of the display breathes confidence into any setup. Most monitors outside the Apple world use plastic enclosures with stands that are often flimsier than you want, but with the Meirro Pro, there is no plastic anywhere in its build.
