Any mentions of the refresh rate? I've been waiting for a 4K/5K display that supports 120 Hz to pair nicely with my 2021 MBP, but it looks like the only available options so far are funky gaming displays: https://tonsky.me/blog/monitors-mac/

Looks like 60hz. I don't think anybody has 5k/120hz working yet.

No 120hz listed in the tech specs, that’s gonna be jarring for people with a M1 macbook pro.

I hardly notice when switching between my M1Pro monitor and larger 27" monitor. Sure my monitor do support 144Hz, but im running it at 60Hz... because docking station

Webcam and sound aside, the display specs seems very similar to the LG Ultrafine 5k released all the way back in 2017 for $1299: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HMUB2LL/A/lg-ultrafine-5k... The Studio Display is an additional $300.

I have two of these. They are plagued with bezel cracking, uniformity, and other issues.

As a person who works on a Mac but uses a Windows PC for gaming: a pity this only has USB-C inputs, so you won't be able to connect a PC with an RTX 30xx card to it. Still very cool though.

It most likely wouldn't work with a Windows PC anyways due to the tight macOS integration anyways; my iMac in Boot Camp can't use any of the USB-C ports on a connected LG Ultrafine 5k at all.
