Well, since the awaited new Studio Display still sucks and is expensive af, what alternatives do you recommend?

ASUS ProArt Display 27” 5K HDR Professional Monitor (PA27JCV) - it's less expensive and very color accurate and beautiful. It also has a matte texture that keeps fonts crisp. Highly recommend. I just got a new m4 Mac mini also and this was what I ended up with and I couldn't be happier.

Apple made External Monitors worse, then sold us retina displays

You're after specific features for comfort and a pleasant experience. You would like a large display to be able to fit more on screen, and high DPI to have smoother fonts. Higher refresh rates make scrolling better, which is also something that people value. If you're a spreadsheet jockey, the Studi

Why so many monitors does not have Thunderbolt 4+ port?

The Thunderbolt issue is discussed here. You could however connect two monitors with one using USB-C and the other using DP to USB-C (see here). The 5K ASUS ProArt PA27JCV has a LuxPixel matte coating which looks very similar to Apple’s nano-texture. I felt the LuxPixel affected the whites too much

So there are no GLOSSY 5K@120 Hz option if I don't wanna spend 3K on the ASD XDR ?

I used a nano texture 2022 ASD before and I now HATE every matte panel. 5K doesn't look sharp. But you did like the nano-texture (NT) on the ASD? I checked the default ASD and the NT one. I didn’t like the NT, because of the grain on the whites and that it diminishes the otherwise sharp 5K image. I

What 27” 5K to wait for?

If you’re not in a rush, you might as well wait at least 5 to 6 months. Current 5K displays (that I know of): ASUS ProArt PA27JCV (IPS: 5K 60Hz, $598.54) strong matte coating (similar to Apple’s nano-texture) which to my eyes diminishes the sharpness of text. clean, minimal design (it has character

Monitor for Mac Mini M4?

Have a look at reviews for the ASUS ProArt PA27JCV 5K. I've had one going on two years and have no regrets.

Monitor Recommendation for MacBook Pro M5 Pro Chip

If you're picky about scaling then you don't want a 32" 4k monitor. You'll either have to use non-integer scaling or have the UI too big/small. BetterDisplay helps sharpen things a bit, but doesn't resolve the issue. The ideal options if you want text clarity are 27" 5k or 32" 6k. I would sacrifice

Apple Studio Display Vs Kuycon G27P 27’ vs Other Monitor Options

I've had the Asus PA27JCV and now the BenQ MA270S. Both are stunning, but with Asus you play the panel lottery. I lost (with a line of three dead pixels where the Apple logo is on the menu bar). Other than that it was great: fantastic colour, minimal backlight bleed at normal settings, unobtrusive m

Monitor for Mac Mini - which one to get?

I don't do photography, but I would take the 5k MA270S every day of the week. The resolution is a big step up from 4k, let alone 2k. I have the MA270S and enjoy it. The Asus PA27JCV is another contender but has known QC issues.

LG UltraGear evo 27GM950B-B Early Impressions

Mine also arrived early and I actually had just returned a PA27JCV similar to OP. I have it connected with a usb-c/tb to DisplayPort cable from a MacBook Pro M5 Pro, and looks/works great at 5k/165hz. FWIW when connecting usb-c on my work MacBook M3 Max to usb-c on the monitor I’m getting 90w PD as
