No mention of 120Hz; I'm waiting for a 6k or higher-density display that can do higher refresh rates.

I was going to joke about 8k@120Hz needing like 4 video cables, but it seems we are not too far from it.

> With the HDMI 2.2 spec announced at CES 2025 and its official release scheduled for later this year, 8K displays will likely become more common thanks to the doubled (96 Gbps) bandwidth.

There is a lot of marketing material at the linked page. But there is no mention of price and available sizes. Also, there is no link to purchase one. This is November. I can look these things up, but why link to a PR fluff piece if there something more substantial available?

No idea about prices, but, assuming they follow the usual conventions for model codes, that's a 32" unit.

Also as far as 6k goes, that's half the bandwidth of 8k.

I shudder to think how small the macOS ui text will be on this but I’m willing to find out.

It'll look normal, maybe even a little big by default if the XDR is anything to go by

OSX does great at scaling UIs for high resolutions

You can run it natively, but it is better to downscale to 4k or 1080p. I run three 5k versions of this monitor and they are all downscaled to 1440p. I get 1:1 pixel mapping so text looks crisp in every app except Microsoft Teams.
