That sucker costs $3770, just as a data point.
The Apple monitor stand was over a thousand, wasn't it? Has this monitor's price been announced?

The ThinkPad R50p had a QXGA screen (2048x1536) option back in 2003. Granted Windows had zilch support for it which is probably why it died. Even the base model was a 1600x1200 screen. And there was plenty of phones with 200+ ppi before the iPhone 4. I think it has more to do with higher PPI screens getting cheaper and Apple could just get more supply first...
Remember that it’s more than just raw resolution. Of course macOS supports these higher resolutions but there’s also the color calibration and support for wider color gamuts other than sRGB and having that all integrated together. For example, the iMac had Display P3 (a color space 50% bigger than RGB) support starting in 2015.
I wish Apple would use their clout to move up in size. I've been waiting for a nice 32" monitor or larger for a while at a reasonable price. Currently using a 4K 39" TV as a monitor (had to contort the settings to get the text readable, etc.) Probably has something to do with panel yields and profit, sadly (but understandably). That said (and acknowledged, I'm not generally an Apple person), I see very little reason…
I've been very happy with this monitor for quite a while (probably 2017-ish): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MY142C0/ ...although fair warning it does have occasional "flickering maroon blankouts" (1-2x...3-4x per day?). AFAIK they're basically two panels side-by-side so sometimes my right-side-one will "blip" for half a second. (search flicker in the reviews/questions). Find one you're happy with, and check th…

I like this announcement, because it means that there's a manufacturing line for proper HiDPI [1] displays running in some LG factory somewhere that third party manufactures like LG/Dell/Iiyama can hopefully use to give us some fresh good-looking 27" 5K desktop monitors. It boggles my mind how little attention very high pixel density displays have been getting from PC display manufacturers. I would also be first in l…
Awesome to see them finally putting out almost consumer friendly pricing displays. Few things I'm disappointed about though: - 60hz. For this price point I'd expect higher. - Thunderbolt 3. Interesting that they didn't bump to 4, given the Mac Studio is Thunderbolt 4. This means you wont be able to daisy chain the displays. - Lack of size options. Would love to see more variety here. After moving to an ultrawide form…
TB4 has the same bandwidth as TB3 so you wouldn't be able to daisy chain 5k monitors anyway. Also as the other commentator mentioned, TB doesn't have enough bandwidth for 120hz (53Gbps vs 40Gbps)
So this each Studio Display will require a direct connection to the laptop/desktop in order to work?
That's definitely not great.

Apple have always been the first to push higher resolution devices for as long as I've been alive. Laptops in the early 2010's were stuck on 1336x768 until Apple kicked up a fuss about having "retina", same with phones which had comically low resolutions until Apple made a fuss about it with the iPhone 4. Sadly my eyes aren't as good as they used to be so I can't make a lot of use of the extra real-estate, but it alw…

To this day, 27" 1440p, 144hz IPS gaming monitors are still my favorite daily driver for any desktop productivity. And when I say favorite, I mean by an extremely large margin. The amount of real estate you get with 2560x1440 is fantastic, and you can actually game on it at native resolution on older gen graphics. The pixel density of 27" @ 1440p is the epitome of goldilocks. Every single pixel is just the right amou…
I use one, but it’s still not sharp enough for design work. You can see aliasing everywhere. 24” @ 4K would be perfect but is hard to come by.

Yeah I don’t know what it is with everyone prioritizing pixels over refresh rate.. once you start using 100+hz 60hz starts to feel like a slide show. You can see mouse trails and scrolling is jerky and uncoordinated, it’s painful and insanely distracting.
Being able to see my screen's pixels annoys me a lot more than moving my mouse at 60 Hz.
