This recommendation is made somewhat awkward because the Studio Display has no physical power button and can&#8217;t be completely shut down or restarted through macOS.  But if you unplug the display&#8217;s power cable, wait at least 10 seconds, and plug it back in, that ought to straighten things out while Apple develops a fix.<\/p>\n<p>The Studio Display has more internal smarts than typical computer monitors\u2014it&#8217;s essentially a low-end iPad on the inside, complete with an A13 chip, 64GB of storage, and an iOS-derived operating system.  That means it can do some unique things, like supporting the pan-and-scanning Center Stage feature or always-on Hey Siri, regardless of the capabilities of the Mac it&#8217;s connected to.  But it also means that, like any computer, it can have software bugs.<\/p>\n<p>This is the second minor software-related problem that users have noticed with the Studio Display.  Shortly after the monitor launched, reviewers and users noted that its webcam quality fell short of Apple&#8217;s front-facing iPhone and iPad cameras.  Apple released a firmware update a couple of months later to improve the &#8220;noise reduction, contrast, and framing&#8221; of the webcam.  That update, firmware version 15.5, is still the newest Studio Display firmware version available.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>enlarge \/ Apple&#8217;s Studio Display.
