Apple Studio Display works on Windows with some limitations

Apple this week announced the Studio Display, a 27-inch 5K panel that combines a camera, microphone and speakers that work together when users connect the display to their Mac. Where are the windows? If for some reason you need to use Apple's $1,599 monitor with a Windows PC, you can, but there are some limitations.

Studio Display is recognized as regular when plugged into a Windows PC via a Thunderbolt connection (not supported by every PC) monitor. That said, if you buy one of these to use with Windows, there are a few things to keep in mind.

Users can even turn on the 12-megapixel webcam built into the Windows app, along with the microphone and speakers, according to Apple. But some features only work when Studio Display is connected to a Mac.

Center Stage, a feature that centers an image on a person during a video call or video recording, is only available on macOS. The same goes for spatial audio support for Dolby Atmos or the "Hey Siri" feature. So basically, in order to take advantage of all the features of Apple Studio Display, you need a Mac running macOS.

So while you can use Studio Display with Windows, buying it for that purpose is probably not a good idea. The company also notes that while the monitor features a 5K 60Hz panel, the resolution may vary from computer to computer. If your computer does not support 5K resolution, video output will be limited to 4K or lower.

The new Studio Display will go on sale March 18, starting at $1,599.
