Mascom International stocks the Studio Display at KSh 310,000, brand new and sealed, in the 27-inch 5K Retina version with standard glass and the tilt- and height-adjustable stand. This Apple monitor packs 5120 x 2880 pixels into its panel at 218 pixels per inch, reaching 600 nits with wide P3 colour. The stand raises or lowers the Studio Display through 105 mm and tilts it from -5 to +25 degrees, so the top of the screen lands at your eye line. Find it at our first-floor shop in the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for developers, accountants, lawyers, architects and content creators across Kenya, the Studio Display suits people who stare at one screen for eight or ten hours. A fixed monitor forces tall users to hunch and shorter users to tip their heads back, and by Friday the neck and shoulders complain. The Studio Display fixes that with a counterbalanced arm that holds any height you set. Offices in Kilimani and Industrial Area where two people share one desk across shifts gain the most, since each person resets the height in seconds. One Thunderbolt 5 cable also powers a MacBook at up to 96W.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that quote Apple displays with no stock on hand, Mascom International holds the Studio Display at our Kimathi Street store, ready to collect. At Mascom International, we're seeing software teams and audit firms ask for the height-adjustable stand far more often than before, as staff spend longer at their desks. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the standard glass looks crisp and glossy in rooms with blinds or controlled lighting. Visit us to raise and lower the Studio Display yourself, or message us on WhatsApp and pay on delivery.
Common Questions About the Studio Display
What is the Studio Display height-adjustable price in Kenya?
The Studio Display with standard glass and the tilt- and height-adjustable stand sells for KSh 310,000, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That figure covers the 12-month Apple warranty handled through Mascom International, a 1m Thunderbolt 5 Pro cable, and pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya. It costs KSh 25,000 more than the nano-texture Studio Display on the tilt-only stand, which sells for KSh 285,000.
Is the height-adjustable Studio Display worth KSh 25,000 more than the nano-texture version?
The extra KSh 25,000 buys a stand that moves the Studio Display up and down by 105 mm, but you give up nano-texture glass. The KSh 285,000 version cuts window glare yet sits at one fixed height. If your desk faces a bright window, the nano-texture model will serve you better. If your room has blinds or steady lighting and you care most about posture, or several people share the desk, the height-adjustable Studio Display earns its higher price. Both share the same 5K panel, camera, speakers and ports.
How do I protect the Studio Display from power surges and dust in Kenya?
Plug the Studio Display into a surge protector or UPS, because KPLC outages often end with a voltage spike when power returns. The display has no battery, so it switches off during a blackout and comes back once mains power is restored. Dust builds up fast in Nairobi offices near busy roads and in dry towns such as Eldoret. Wipe the glossy standard glass gently with a soft, dry cloth, and keep the vents at the back clear.
Who should buy the height-adjustable Studio Display, and who should skip it?
The height-adjustable Studio Display suits developers, analysts, writers and designers who sit at a Mac for most of the day and want the screen at eye level. Skip it if your desk sits beside a large window, since the nano-texture version handles glare better for less money. Windows PC users should skip both versions, as official compatibility lists only Mac and iPad. Gamers chasing fast refresh rates need a 144Hz or 165Hz monitor, as this panel runs at 60Hz.
How far does the Studio Display height-adjustable stand move?
The tilt- and height-adjustable stand moves the Studio Display through 105 mm of travel and tilts from -5 to +25 degrees. At its lowest the display stands 47.9 cm tall, and at its highest it reaches 58.3 cm. It weighs about 7.6 kg and sits 20.7 cm deep on the desk. That range lets a tall engineer and a shorter colleague each set a comfortable eye line without stacking books or buying a separate arm. The stand type cannot be swapped later, so choose it at purchase.
Can I connect two Studio Displays to one Mac?
Yes, the Studio Display has a downstream Thunderbolt 5 port for daisy-chaining a second compatible display from one connection to your Mac. Whether a given Mac drives two 5K screens depends on its chip, so check your model with our team before buying a pair. The Mac Studio M5 Max, also stocked at Mascom International, supports up to five external displays. Many trading desks, newsrooms and finance teams in Upper Hill run two screens side by side for spreadsheets and dashboards.
Does the Studio Display work with an iPad Pro or iPad Air?
The Studio Display works with recent iPad Pro and iPad Air models running iPadOS 26.3.1 or later, including iPad Pro with M4 and M5 and iPad Air with M2, M3 and M4. University students at Strathmore or USIU who sketch and write on an iPad gain a large 27-inch canvas. Camera features and firmware updates need a Mac connection, so plan to update it through a Mac now and then. Our team can confirm your iPad model before you buy. Older iPad models outside the official list may not display correctly.
Is the Studio Display good for coding and long spreadsheet sessions?
The Studio Display suits coding and spreadsheets because 5K resolution keeps small text sharp, letting you fit more lines and columns on screen at once. A developer can run an editor, a terminal and a browser side by side without squinting. Accountants preparing KRA returns can keep large workbooks and the iTax portal open together. The height-adjustable stand matters most for these users, since long hours at a poorly placed screen cause neck and back strain.
Technical Specifications
Display Panel and Resolution

- Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos for music and video — a wider sound field than a typical monitor offers.
- Three microphones with directional beamforming — focus on the speaker's voice and reduce noise from the rest of the room.
- 12MP Center Stage camera — pans digitally to keep you in frame as you lean or shift during calls.
- Desk View — gives call participants an overhead look at papers or sketches on your desk.

- Camera features and firmware updates require a Mac, even if you mostly use the display with an iPad.

- Upstream Thunderbolt 5 port — one cable from your Mac carries video, audio, camera and data together.
- Up to 96W of power to the connected laptop — enough to keep most MacBook models charged while working.

- Height runs from 47.9 cm at its lowest to 58.3 cm at its highest, with 62.3 cm width.
- 20.7 cm deep and about 7.6 kg — needs a firm desk, and stays steady once positioned.
- Counterbalanced arm holds any height you choose, so the screen never drifts down during the day.
- Silver aluminium finish — matches MacBook, Mac mini and Mac Studio setups on the same desk.
