Studio Display is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 285,000, brand new and sealed, in the 27-inch 5K Retina version with nano-texture glass and the tilt-adjustable stand. Made by Apple, the Studio Display shows 5120 x 2880 pixels at 218 pixels per inch, with 600 nits of brightness and support for one billion colours. The nano-texture glass is etched at a microscopic level to scatter light, so reflections from windows and ceiling lights fade away. Collect yours at the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order for delivery.
Designed for photographers, colourists, architects and graphic designers, the Studio Display handles colour-critical work in rooms you cannot fully control. Many Nairobi offices in Upper Hill and Westlands sit behind wide glass walls, and afternoon sun turns a glossy screen into a mirror. Retouchers lose detail in shadows, and editors squint through client reviews. The Studio Display solves that with its nano-texture finish, which keeps blacks deep and colours readable even with light pouring in. A single Thunderbolt 5 cable carries picture, sound, camera and 96W of charging to a MacBook, so the desk stays clear.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops order Apple displays only after payment, Mascom International keeps the Studio Display on the shelf and lets you see the nano-texture finish in person. Buyers throughout Kenya report that seeing the glass under real store lighting settles the choice between nano-texture and standard glass in minutes. Customers across Nairobi tell us the built-in camera and speakers let them drop a separate webcam and soundbar. Come and compare the Studio Display variants side by side at our Kimathi Street store, or order on WhatsApp and pay when it arrives.
Common Questions About the Studio Display
How much is the Studio Display with nano-texture glass in Kenya?
The Studio Display with nano-texture glass and the tilt-adjustable stand costs KSh 285,000, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. The price includes the 12-month Apple warranty handled through Mascom International, a 1m Thunderbolt 5 Pro cable, and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. The standard-glass version with the tilt- and height-adjustable stand sells for KSh 310,000, which is KSh 25,000 more.
Should I buy the nano-texture Studio Display or the standard glass version with the height-adjustable stand?
Choose by your room and your posture, because these two Studio Display variants trade one feature for another. This KSh 285,000 version has nano-texture glass to cut glare but tilts only. The KSh 310,000 version has standard glossy glass and a stand that rises and lowers by 105 mm. Pick nano-texture if your desk faces a window or bright lights. Pick the height-adjustable version if your room is dim and you need the screen at eye level without books or a riser.
Does the Studio Display nano-texture glass help in sunny Kenyan offices?
Yes, the Studio Display nano-texture glass is built for bright rooms like many Kenyan offices facing strong equatorial sun. The etched surface scatters reflections instead of bouncing them back, so you see the image rather than the window behind you. Dust settles on screens quickly in Nairobi and Nakuru, so wipe it gently with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth and avoid spraying cleaners onto the glass. The display has no battery, so a KPLC outage switches it off until power returns.
Who should buy the Studio Display with nano-texture glass, and who should skip it?
This Studio Display suits photographers, retouchers, video editors and designers who use a Mac in bright, window-lit rooms. Skip it if you use a Windows PC, because its listed compatibility covers Mac and iPad only. Skip it too if you sit in a dim room, where standard glass gives a slightly glossier look for KSh 25,000 more with height adjustment. Gamers wanting high refresh rates should look elsewhere, because this panel runs at 60Hz, well suited to colour work rather than fast shooters.
Will the Studio Display charge my MacBook while I work?
Yes, the Studio Display delivers up to 96W of charging through its upstream Thunderbolt 5 port to a connected MacBook. One cable carries the picture, the camera, the microphones, the speakers and power, so you plug in once when you arrive at the office. That 96W covers MacBook Air models and most MacBook Pro models in daily use. The two USB-C ports at up to 10Gb/s and the downstream Thunderbolt 5 port turn the display into a hub for drives and accessories.
Is the tilt-adjustable stand on the Studio Display enough for long working days?
The tilt-adjustable stand on this Studio Display tilts from -5 to +25 degrees, but its height is fixed. With the stand, the display stands 47.8 cm tall, which suits most desks and chairs of standard height. If you are tall or sit high, a sturdy riser lifts it to eye level at low cost. The stand configuration is chosen at purchase, so decide now whether tilt alone suits you, or pick the height-adjustable Studio Display at Mascom International instead.
Is the Studio Display camera good for Zoom and Microsoft Teams calls?
The Studio Display has a 12MP Center Stage camera that keeps you framed as you move around during Zoom, Teams or Google Meet calls. Desk View can show your desk to others, which helps when explaining sketches or printed plans. A three-microphone array with directional beamforming focuses on your voice over background noise from boda boda traffic outside. Lawyers, consultants and NGO staff running calls from Kilimani or Upper Hill offices often drop their separate webcam and headset after switching.
Is the Studio Display accurate enough for professional photo editing?
The Studio Display covers the wide P3 colour range and shows one billion colours, which suits professional photo and video editing. At 218 pixels per inch, fine detail in skin, fabric and text stays sharp at normal viewing distance. True Tone adjusts the white balance to the room light for comfortable reading, and you can turn it off for colour-critical grading. Wedding photographers and product shooters in Nairobi gain the most, since the nano-texture glass keeps studio lights from washing out their edits.

- 600 nits brightness — bright enough to stay readable in a sunlit room with the blinds open.
