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.
I am guessing this replaces it.
Not really other alternatives out there (displays in 5k).

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.
To connect my windows desktop to lg ultrafine - I use a bidirectional display port to thunderbolt 3 cable (amazon basics)
Thank you! Another example that writing something wrong on the internet is the best way to find the truth :)
That said, it looks like there's just one input port and three output ports. Would need to do some hack there as well, to avoid constant cable changing.
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/
I realize that as a staunch Linux user I'm not in their target demographic, but... wow that website is slightly motion sickness inducing. Is it as bad to scroll through this on a mac as it is on linux? I use a mouse with an actual wheel, maybe they don't optimize for that kind of legacy device...? Edit: it's also just so hard to scroll exactly to the points where the information is presented. I just mostly end up at…
I'm reading this on a 27" 5K imac from 2014. It's a nice screen. But it's eight years old now. So, what's new?
Now you can buy the exact same monitor, for 1600$.
We've made a lot of progress.

Weird to think that Flash handled this kind of animation seamlessly on browsers 15 years ago.
Would be nice to have >5K resolutions to have more pixel density. Alas, macOS doesn't support any native scaling other than 100% and 200%. So if they did release e.g. a 27" 8K monitor, the text would either be too small, or they'd have to use bitmap scaling to make it bigger in which case there'd be no advantage of having an 8K monitor. (EDIT: To clarify, all other scaling factors are done by rendering at either 100%…
