I use an 8K 55" TV. It was much cheaper than an equivalent monitor and is equivalent to 4x 27" 4k panels. Text rendering is sublime. I wish the panel was still in production with more dimming zones and DP input.
Pointless superficial review, standard for Wired, Verge etc - no brightness uniformity check, no color uniformity check, no color accuracy check, no coating grain check. Meanwhile a good number of reports mention terrible uniformity issues with that model.
They gave a color accuracy number, was there something wrong with it?

when I want display reviews I go to rtings.com haven't found anyone who compares
Agreed; rtings has by far the best reviews and comparisons, and detailed tests nobody else seems to do. I originally found them because they were one of the only sources that tested for PWM flicker in monitors.
I really wish more people wanted screens that looked as good as their cellphone. Bright, sharp text, great color. We've had the great Apple Studio Display for years now, it's about time others came to fix some of it's short-comings like 27" size, 60hz and lack of HDMI ports for use with other systems. So many of us have to stare at a screen for hours every day and having one that reduces strain on my eyes is well wor…
The company I work at gives all new developers a pair of 1080p displays that could have come right out of 2010. It amazes me, and it’s so sad. They have no idea what they’re missing. I’m sure high PPI would pay off fast in eye strain. And it’s not like monitors need replacement yearly. Tons of time to recoup that small cost. I’m not arguing for $2k 37” monitors, just better than $200 ones.
But we have gray on gray, to compensate. One even has a choice. Do you want light or dark eye strain ?

Apple has updated Studio Display and XDR coming out soon, they just filed for regulatory approval in China, which historically has meant 1-3 months until release [1]. The updated models are expected to have a 2000+ zone Mini LED backlight and 120hz refresh rate, while the LG is old technology - 60hz and edge lit, plus the matte coating is anecdotally quite blurry and loses a lot of the detail of the 6K panel. May be…
As an owner of the XDR, I find it ironic that you're saying "maybe wait to see before putting down thousands of dollars" for this $2K offering when there's no way that a refreshed XDR is going to be less than $6K. Also as an owner of 2 27" 4K HDR 144Hz monitors that Apple rendered pointless to make the XDR work in the first place ("Wow, Apple's done some magic to make the display bandwidth work!" = "Apple fucked DP 1…

Is there a shortlist of top of the line utilitarian monitors that you can just buy, without researching or being some niche gamer?* Something similar to LG G-series TV's. Seems like Apple Studio, Dell UltraSharp are on that list. Any others? *Struggling for words, but I'm looking more for the expedient solution rather than the "craft beer" or "audiophile" solution.

Rtings good at measures, but bad at conclusions. Take their numbers and make your own opinion. Prad.de is better at that respect.

Unsurprisingly this is not a motivating factor to come back to the office, given I have a 220 PPI 6K at home.
