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

Is there a monitor with high PPI?

Check out the Asus ProArt PA27JCV, a 5K HDR panel with a pixel density of 218 ppi, HDMI 2.1 and USB-C, and excellent color calibration. For €700. To say that text is sharp on a 4K screen would be a lie; this resolution isn't native on Macs, unlike 5K.

Studio Display vs anything else?

Asus ProArt PA27JCV seems to be a good choice for a 27” 5K monitor. I’m also hesitating to buy a Studio Display because I also still use a Windows PC for gaming and I need a monitor with more than one input port. I’m afraid the new upcoming Studio Display will also have only one TB input. A drawback

Studio Display 2: The Latest Rumors About Apple's Next Monitor

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

Best monitor for Graphic Design work to buy now?

Thanks! The issue with 4K 27-inch displays is that they’re not the right pixels per inch (PPI) density for macOS, which means you’d need to enable display scaling, which has performance and quality issues. Since writing the article, a few new displays have been released that are around 218PPI, but h

Monitor Suggestions for Mac Studio M4 Max

If 60hz refresh rate is ok with you then I would suggest two of these. 5k resolution is honestly what you want on Mac OS. The Apple Studio Display runs at 5k resolution. This Asus 5k is half the price. https://www.asus.com/us/displays-desktops/monitors/proart/proart-display-5k-pa27jcv/ https://www.a

Asus PA27JCV 5K monitor - what are the best settings for mac os x?

I bought it in March 2025 (in one of the Polish local stores). I do research before it was available checking site like https://www.displayninja.com for incoming 5K panels and then waiting for 5K monitor with KVM (I need it to switch between two computers). Apple's studio doesn't have KVM. ASUS was
