Setup and use Studio Display with iPad Pro M4 only?

Hi, I own an iPad Pro M4 13“ and I love using it with an external monitor. I‘m looking forward to buy a Studio Display for this usage but I do not own a Mac. Is it possible to setup and use a Studio Display only with the iPad? I know that I can not do any settings on the SD (only brightness and sound).

iPad Pro (M4, 2024)

Your iPad Pro M4 supports connection to an external monitor/display of up to 6K resolution - and is fully usable with an Apple Studio Display.


Be aware, that Apple Studio Displays actually run a special version of iOS - and themselves occasionally benefit from a software update. Currently, software updates for Apple Studio displays cannot be installed using an iPad of any model; Studio Monitor software updates can only be applied using a Mac computer.


As such, if entertaining the possibility of purchasing an Apple Studio Display exclusively for your iPad, you may need to periodically find a Mac computer (or visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or AASP) to optimally maintain your Studio Display.
