#2Although I haven’t used these monitors, my experience with high dpi on windows and Linux has been a nightmare compared to OSX. It’s surprising me the non Mac world hasn’t made this a bigger priority.

#3Slightly off topic but I can’t wait until there’s a 120 Hz 8K monitor. It’s the only thing holding me back from upgrading from 4K. I wonder if the current limitation is on the panels, cable bandwidth or absurd price tag…

#4Just give me a 2K monitor that turns on instantly, doesn’t hunt for sources, consumes less than 20W of power and I’ll be a happy guy. Bonus for having physical buttons to select explicit input sources without delays.

I run the DELL G3223Q (144Hz 4K) and mine calibrated at ~98% DCI-P3 for reference. I'm quite happy with it.

8k@120Hz is going to need one heck of a video card

You ain’t getting a modern monitor with less than 20W of power unless you want something very small and very dim with very low refresh rate.

#8The comments regarding matte vs glossy and text sharpness resonates with me. It’s really hard to use any non-Apple screens since their color is completely washed out and lifeless and text lacks crispness on all screens at a range of price points I’ve ever tried. What’s even more puzzling is how a large number of people online seem to adamantly defend widely sold lower-dpi 32” 4k matte screens as a superior product. It’s been over a decade since first retina products shipped and somehow 200 dpi+ desktop screens is still an extremely niche product.

Not for productivity.

High DPI screens with Windows really show how bad the font rendering is.
