Apple Studio Display - Owners Thread

I’ll try to buy one in a store on Friday. I’ve procrastinated a bit, but I’ve wanted to upgrade my monitor, microphone, speakers and webcam anyway. No reviews so far is disappointing, but I’m sure it’s worth it.
I love the fact that we’re on the second page of the “owner”s thread,” even though there are no owners yet. ?
I’m pretty sure my monitor is sitting in a warehouse somewhere in the US.
I don’t see it being shipped or manufactured.

Very possible - some inventory is probably already in a US warehouse.
I remember when I ordered the M1 Mini, it was shipped from a local AI warehouse in Rialto, CA the day before launch / release and received it as promised.
Well I sold my 24" iMac on Monday night, then immediately placed an order for the Studio Display, arriving in 3 - 4 weeks. I am currently using my 14" Macbook Pro connected to a Full HD 27" Samsung and it is horrid! I really need my 5k monitor ?. I hope I can place an order online on Thursday night / Friday morning for pick up in my local store or I think I will cry ?
I ordered 3 of the nano with height/tilt for the Ultra but now second guessing the nano part. Sounds like more difficult to clean, scratches easy, and text is blurrier. Yes it has much less glare but I think the other factors trump that. Hoping that I can get some standard ones with height adjustment in an Apple Store. Three should look good but if they come out with an XDR Studio display 32” at WWDC, I’ll sell a 27” SD and get one of those for the middle one.
It'll be awhile until I get mine (next month ?). Please let me know how the Video quality is on the in-built web camera. I'm really curious about the quality, since I ordered a Logitech Brio and canceled at the last minute. I know the 24" iMac reviewers say their in-built web camera was better than anything out in the market excluding DSLRs or Mirrorless. I'm curious how it compares to the 24" iMac's quality. 12MP vs 1080p ?
I believe that the webcam is a 1080p sensor, is it not?
Definitely no fans. The wholes in the top could be for passive cooling, but neither the LCD nor the chip will need active cooling.
If an M1 iPad Pro has no fan, neither will this display.
Anyone have any idea when the review embargo’s will lift? iPad Air has already which is releasing on Friday…
The way Apple staggers their embargo dates historically.
New iPhones last Friday, iPhone SE past Monday, iPad Air this morning. We should see the Mac Studio reviews tomorrow morning.
I will be getting one for now (with the height adjustable stand) to use alongside my LG 34 inch 5K2K. Both shall be connected via a TB4 hub to my 16 inch MBP Pro 1.
Waiting on reviews before i bite. Wonder how a dual monitor setup will handle the speakers and facetime
If Apple was smart, they would install a setting somewhere in system preferences, maybe in the Display panel that will allow you to enable or disable the webcams on the monitors.
I currently use two HP Z27 4K monitors. I really miss the iMac 5K I sold when I got a 14" in November. Can't wait for this display to arrive!
I am pretty sure I will be. The monitors I have now are on an Ergotron HX Dual, the Studio Display will be replacing one of these, so of course I chose the VESA option. (The stand was the one thing I really disliked about the iMac.)
I will try it with a Thunderbolt-equipped HP EliteBook. If it works well I'll get another to replace the other Z27.
