HDMI\u2019s second screen is 4K at 60Hz. On the M5 Pro, the second screen can be 5K at 120Hz. A 60Hz panel does not use that extra rate. The M6 Thunderbolt ports are DisplayPort 1.4. The M5 Pro ports are DisplayPort 2.1.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Thunderbolt is how a second 5K screen attaches on the M6.<\/strong> Apple\u2019s Studio Display uses a Thunderbolt 5 upstream port and lists Mac mini models from 2020, on macOS Tahoe 26.3.1 or later. The ASUS shop lists USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode and HDMI 2.1. Samsung lists one Thunderbolt 4 input and one Mini DisplayPort.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>The prices are the ones on each store page.<\/strong> Apple\u2019s buy page starts at $1,599 and also shows $1,899, $1,999, and $2,299.

The panel is 5120\u00d72880 at 60Hz and 600 nits. On the M6, 5K at 60Hz is the Thunderbolt ceiling for a second display, and it also fits as the first display inside the 5K at 120Hz allowance. The panel itself is 60Hz, so an M5 Pro does not get 120Hz from it. The upstream port is Thunderbolt 5 at up to 120Gb\/s. On an M6 Thunderbolt 4 port that link falls back. Do not read the display\u2019s 120Gb\/s line as an M6 port speed.<\/p>\n  <p>The Apple Store starts at $1,599 for the standard tilt model. The buy page also shows $1,899, $1,999, and $2,299 for other configurations. Those figures stay separate. The 96W host-charging line does not power the mini. The computer uses the power cord in its own box. A 12MP Center Stage camera and a six-speaker system are on the display. Nano-texture glass and the height-adjustable stand are configure-to-order options, not a second monitor.<\/p>\n  <p class=\"purchase-link\"><span class=\"amazon-region-btn\">Check Price on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=Apple+Studio+Display&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Amazon US<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/s?k=Apple+Studio+Display&#038;tag=pctest07-21&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">UK<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/s?k=Apple+Studio+Display&#038;tag=pctestt-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CA<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/s?k=Apple+Studio+Display&#038;tag=67990-21&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">DE<\/a> \u2192<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"top-recommendation\" id=\"best-value\" data-badge=\"best-value\">\n  <div class=\"top-badge badge-best-value\">\ud83d\udc8e Best Value<\/div>\n  <h3>ASUS ProArt Display PA27JCV <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=ASUS+ProArt+Display+PA27JCV&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"title-amazon-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">View on Amazon<\/a><\/h3>\n  <div class=\"product-highlights\">\n    <div class=\"highlight-item\"><span class=\"highlight-label\">Best For:<\/span> 5120\u00d72880 at 60Hz for $950.00 less than the Studio Display<\/div>\n    <div class=\"highlight-item\"><span class=\"highlight-label\">Key Feature:<\/span> 218 PPI \u00b7 99% DCI-P3 \u00b7 USB-C and HDMI 2.1<\/div>\n    <div class=\"highlight-item\"><span class=\"highlight-label\">Rating:<\/span> <span class=\"star-rating\">4.6 \/ 5.0 \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606<\/span><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <table class=\"spec-table\">\n    <tr><th>ASUS US shop<\/th><td>$649.00.

HDMI 2.1 can carry the screen when it is the only display. On the M6, a second screen on HDMI is 4K at 60Hz, so a second 5K panel still wants Thunderbolt. The 96W power-delivery figure is for a laptop. The mini keeps its own cord.<\/p>\n  <p>The US shop lists $649.00. The product data on that page also lists a $699 regular price.

HDMI\u2019s second display is 4K at 60Hz. On the M5 Pro, the second display can be 5K at 120Hz. All three panels here are 60Hz.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Whether these 60Hz panels use the 120Hz line<\/h3><p>No. The M5 Pro\u2019s 5K at 120Hz allowance is a ceiling. A 60Hz panel stays at 60Hz. The M6\u2019s second Thunderbolt screen is already limited to 5K at 60Hz, which matches these panels.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>What Thunderbolt 5 on the Studio Display does on an M6<\/h3><p>The display\u2019s upstream port is Thunderbolt 5 at up to 120Gb\/s. The M6\u2019s ports are Thunderbolt 4 at up to 40Gb\/s. The link falls back. The 5K image at 60Hz still fits the M6 display table.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Whether a monitor\u2019s charging watts run the mini<\/h3><p>No. Studio Display lists 96W host charging, the PA27JCV lists 96W, and the ViewFinity S9 lists 90W. The Mac mini uses the 1.8 m power cord in its box. Maximum continuous power is 155W.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Why the ViewFinity S9 is not the cheap pick<\/h3><p>Samsung lists $1,599.99, which is $0.99 above the Studio Display\u2019s starting price. The ASUS shop price of $649.00 is the lower 5K figure.
