Apple’s Studio Display also works with Windows
While the new Display Studio has been billed as an extra asset to the Apple ecosystem, it seems like you don’t have to connect it to Apple’s computers only.

The webcam also gives 12MP will work in Window appss, along with the three microphones and six speakers that make the audio-video department of this monitor unique. But not all functions will be present, because they are macOS exclusives.
We are talking about functionality Center Stage, which fixes the shot during FaceTime video calls. But also the possibility of activating the voice assistant Sirias well as support Spatial Audio e Dolby Atmos for speakers.
Many creatives have chosen macOS as the operating system to work. But maybe they also use a Windows laptop for when they are on the go, or they have a gaming PC on which they want to try the new Apple monitor. In this case they will be able use the Studio Display as a monitor.
