I'll tell you one thing I don't get - how people think the tilt stand is too low. If anything it's too high for my liking, but then again I'm not the tallest in the world.
How are people getting on with their Apple Studio Display?

I accidentally flicked a biro that scratched a Dell monitor a few years ago. You can hide the worst of it with some Vaseline… although admittedly, the Dell is a matt finish, not gloss.
If the scratch was on the chassis I wouldn’t have an issue with it, but if it’s on the display itself that would be a hard no from me.

Quick update. I ended up returning my CEX bought display and picked one up from Amazon Warehouse for just a hair over £1000. The scratch was a tough one to call. As I mentioned, you wouldn't even know it was there until you saw a static white background - there were times when I was watching videos that I intentionally looked for it and couldn't see it.
As it was, I just didn't want to run the risk of resenting it after the 14 day return period had passed. So, I got this one from Amazon and it is mint. Was sold as "Acceptable" with cosmetic damage but there isn't a mark on it and it still has Apple warranty until January 2025.

That's a good deal. I've had stuff from Amazon Warehouse before and I've never received anything in less than mint condition.

I had this issue, so I built another standing desk which now has my Alienware and gaming setup on it too. I live alone though so that helps.

I'm talking about going from 27" 4K to 27" 5K. I've had both and at the distance I sit both are very crisp. The 5K is crisper, but not the same difference between 1440p 27" and 4K 27".

I’ve been through a few monitors in recent years and in the end I bit the bullet and went for an ASD. It’s the only one that has a really good quality chassis, sensible aspect ratio, built in cam, (not awful) speakers, and 5k res. It was very spendy but I know I’ll stick with it for a good decade or so.
I’m not really sure why the webcam gets so much hate in reviews. Perhaps I don’t have a good point of reference but it seems decent quality and the centre stage feature is a nice convenience to have.
As mentioned up thread, the height of the tilt stand is totally fine - I haven’t felt the need to raise or lower it all and neither has my wife who is a few inches shorter than me.

It wasn’t great when it was first released but there have been a number of updates that have made a lot of difference. Most reviews are from when it was brand new and are pre-updates.
