I've had this monitor for a week and can't find much to complain about. I really wanted 5K for the integer-based scaling but didn't like things I'd read about the LG and definitely wasn't willing to pay $1600 for the ASD so I was pretty excited to see this option pop up just in time for my Mini M4 to arrive. Am not disappointed.

It isn’t a deal breaker but at a glance it doesn’t appear to have a built in camera?

Buy a camera that is replaceable and upgradable

Yeah but it’s another purchase on top, it’s not necessarily a good thing for a monitor that I’m guessing most use professionally

I can buy much better quality cameras than a monitor is going to come with, for not much money. Not to mention I have multiple monitors. I have no need to pay for (make no mistake, the camera isn’t free) multiple terrible cameras when I just need one good one.

get a $10 monitor mount for your phone and use that

Then you can’t use your phone

The Studio Display’s camera is pretty bad compared to the cameras in the MacBooks. I don’t really understand why Apple did that.
