Apple Pro Display XDR

I'm hearing that the LG displays were running out of stock, possibly in anticipation of a new Apple display. Sure enough...wait a minute, FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS?! Oh, I understand it's a reference-quality, blah, blah, blah, but I just need something to replace an aging Cinema display that was originally $1000. The fucking stand for the new display costs that much (note the audience response when that price popped on the screen).

So if I can't buy an LG, what do I buy for less than a couple grand, Apple?

Did he say $999 for the stand?!!

And only $129 for the 4" wall mount.

$200 for the Vesa mount. Oof.

The 4k LG display was updated/rereleased: https://9to5mac.com/2019/05/24/lg-ultrafine-display-review-2...

The 5k LG display is still MIA and there isn't a competitor. (and as someone who bought a 5K LG display on release, I'm surprised that's still the case)

You could hear a gasp in the crowd when they listed $999 for the stand alone.

Apple is certainly pushing themselves up-market with this one.

Eizos are outstanding. You can find pretty good deals on used ones with good color space coverage.
