Basically I bought my 4k monitors and found peace :) I can't see the pixels, even looking very closely I can't, I can sort of perceive that I am on the cusp of seeing that they must be there as the curve is not sharp when I put my eye up to the screen (100mm) but for all intents and purposes at 4k my eyes and brain are quite happy. All we are going to do is waste resources in making new monitors no one needs and spending more power on processing detail we cannot appreciate. As for video, the only time I can just see a difference if I compare is one of daves videos at 4k and FHD, I just can't bare to waste the bandwidth on 4k, the difference is so subtle that you only see it on comparison and you can only see it at all on my 43" monitor on a video like daves because it is well lit and most of the frame is still. 4k for movies is only necessary in certain circumstances.

No, LG do too, and of course until Apple introduced their own it was the LG UltraFine Display that Apple themselves sold to fill the gap.

Let’s not even talk about that steamer. Horribly unreliable and poorly made bit of kit with serious quality control issues. 

The main point is that the PC market is constrained mostly to 4k because, well it’s cheap and the PC market is people buying to a price not a specification.

Yeah, that backwards step is something that once you've "been there" you don't want to take.

I've had a 5k 27" screen (one of the LG ones) for a couple years now, and whenever I sit down in front of anything else now I find myself going "Yuck, this is fuzzy. Why can I see all the pixels?".

That’s a long time. The ones we had in the office all blew up in under 18 months or had ghosting and connection issues.

Edit: this was a stupid thing because they put monitor arms in everywhere and they didn’t realise you could get VESA mount iMacs so they bought the UltraFine displays and i7 mac minis instead  :palm: :palm:. They were rolling out 24” M1 iMacs recently instead  :-// (despite everyone working at home and being stuck on shit dells). Crack smokers.

Mine has been faultless, no issues whatsoever. I even have the MacBook powered from the hub on it (and quite a few moderately power hungry ancillaries like a thunderbolt 10 Gb/s network adapter). Maybe I was just lucky.
