Apple Studio Display Chemical Smell

Anyone with a Studio display getting a chemical smell build up in their room? I have a small home office setup and the smell is not noticeable when your in the room, but if you go out and come back in the next morning or after lunch break, you definitely smell it. Air purifiers clean it up in about 15 minutes.

I found the below similar issue was experienced with cinema displays.

I have the same issue. In my case it gives me a scratchy throat so I've started leaving the Mac Studio out of my room when I go to bed and that has fixed the issue. This doesn't seem healthy though

Can confirm it also smells on the 24 inch LED Cinema Display. I have one and am trying to figure out where it’s coming from. Seems like the Display Panel is stinky

whatever the issue was seems to have gone away with everyday use. perhaps the glue has burned off over the last few months, not sure, just happy its gone.

How long did it take before it went away? I have a new iMac with a very strong chemical smell and it hasn't really dissipated over two weeks. It really makes me feel ill.

Thank you. I had to return my new iMac after trying to let it outgas for over a month. I appreciate the confirmation. To me it was not subtle, it was bad.
