This panel is 5120\u00d72880 at 60Hz, so it fills that slot, and it also fits as the first display inside the 5K at 120Hz allowance. It does not run at 120Hz. On the M5 Pro the second screen is allowed to be 5K at 120Hz, and this panel still stays at 60Hz. Two Studio Displays fit the M6 table: the first is inside the 5K at 120Hz line at 60Hz, and the second is the 5K at 60Hz Thunderbolt screen. The M6 can put two displays on one Thunderbolt port. The downstream Thunderbolt port on the display is the daisy-chain jack. The second screen\u2019s rate still has to fit Apple\u2019s table.<\/p>\n  <p>The upstream port is Thunderbolt 5. On the M6 that link falls back to Thunderbolt 4. The Apple Store starts at $1,599, which is $749.01 above the Dell list price. The 96W charging figure is for a laptop. Pair it with the LG on HDMI when the second screen should be the cheaper 4K at 60Hz, or use a second Thunderbolt 5K screen when both should be 5120\u00d72880.<\/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>Dell UltraSharp U2725QE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=Dell+UltraSharp+U2725QE&#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> The 120Hz 4K screen, with HDMI left for a 60Hz second display<\/div>\n    <div class=\"highlight-item\"><span class=\"highlight-label\">Key Feature:<\/span> 3840\u00d72160 at 120Hz \u00b7 Thunderbolt 4 \u00b7 Dell $849.99<\/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>Dell price<\/th><td>$849.99, $749.01 under the Studio Display starting price<\/td><\/tr>\n    <tr><th>Panel<\/th><td>27-inch IPS Black, 3840\u00d72160, 163 PPI, 120Hz, 3000:1<\/td><\/tr>\n    <tr><th>Video in<\/th><td>Thunderbolt 4 upstream.

Dell lists this panel at 3840\u00d72160 and 120Hz, so it sits inside that line. Put it on a rear Thunderbolt port. Then the M6 HDMI port can take a second display at 4K and 60Hz, which is the LG below. If this 120Hz panel uses the HDMI port instead, the second screen has to move to Thunderbolt, because the M6 HDMI second screen is only 4K at 60Hz. On the M5 Pro, a second screen can be 4K at 200Hz. This panel\u2019s 120Hz rate is inside that ceiling too. It is not a 200Hz monitor.<\/p>\n  <p>Dell lists $849.99. That is $749.01 under the Studio Display and $670.00 above the LG. The 140W figure does not power the mini.

The mini\u2019s own HDMI port is the simple place for the 60Hz second screen, which keeps a Thunderbolt port for the faster panel.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"faq-module\">\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>What the M6 allows for two displays<\/h3><p>One display can be 8K at 60Hz, 5K at 120Hz, or 4K at 240Hz over Thunderbolt or HDMI. The second is 5K at 60Hz over Thunderbolt, or 4K at 60Hz over HDMI. Up to two displays can share one Thunderbolt port.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>What changes on the M5 Pro<\/h3><p>The second display can be 5K at 120Hz or 4K at 200Hz. One Thunderbolt port can feed three displays. The Studio Display, the U2725QE, and the 27US500-W all sit inside those ceilings at the rates printed on the panels. None of them is a 120Hz 5K screen or a 200Hz 4K screen.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Where the 120Hz Dell should plug in<\/h3><p>A rear Thunderbolt port, if the HDMI port is reserved for a 4K at 60Hz second screen. On the M6, the HDMI second screen cannot be 120Hz. The first screen is the one allowed to be 4K at 240Hz, over Thunderbolt or HDMI.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Whether two Studio Displays fit the M6<\/h3><p>Yes, at 60Hz. The first display\u2019s allowance includes 5K at 120Hz, so 60Hz is inside it. The second Thunderbolt display is 5K at 60Hz. The panel does not become 120Hz on the M5 Pro.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Whether a monitor can power the Mac mini<\/h3><p>No. The Studio Display lists 96W host charging and the U2725QE lists up to 140W. The mini uses the 1.8 m power cord in its box.
