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

27” 5K monitor for Mac dev work (not gaming) under €1000. Does it exist?

If you like the nano-texture on the Studio Display, the ASUS ProArt PA27JCV is an excellent option. I got one for €660 (but returned it, because to me the coating was distracting). While the ASUS ROG Strix XG27JCG is a gaming monitor, I think it’s still a very good option. I prefer its controls: big

What 27” 5K to wait for?

As I mentioned, I didn’t like the quite aggressive anti-reflective LuxPixel (LP) coating on the PA27JCV. I decided to check the nano-texture coating on the Studio Display next to the glossy one. I felt the nano-texture was visually very similar to the PA27 and the glossy was so sharp and colourful.

Need help choosing 4k or 5k

4K will be much more affordable, but the sharpness of 5K for desktop applications is really great. I have the XG27JCG. In Windows, I set the scaling to 150% for more real estate. UI is rather small but definitely readable because everything’s so sharp. According to my calculations at 175% the UI is

Best 6K matte alternative to Pro Display XDR for video editing/color grading in SDR?

I had the smaller brother of the ProArt, the PA27JCV. I compared the coating with Apple’s nano-texture, and though the technology is different, in practice they were very similar. The color profiles using the onboard controls or the DisplayWidget software is very convenient. Blacks were very deep. I

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

Yeah that one is great. I have the gamer variant, the ASUS ROG Strix 5K XG27JCG (Strix 5K). Currently at €749, it is about the same price as when the PA27JCV (ProArt 5K) launched last year. The Strix 5K has up to 180Hz in 5K (currently macOS maxes out at 165 Hz, though). Gamut is a bit lower, but mo

Asus ROG Strix XG27JCG (dual-mode 180/330Hz 5K 5120×2880 monitor) — review by Tom’s Hardware

I first had the ASUS ProArt PA27JCV. I really liked the design (stylish industrial looking) and the color profiles with the software, but it didn’t look that sharp to what I was used to with my earlier 27” 5K JAPANNEXT panel, which I used for 9 months but then malfunctioned. The matte on the PA27 us

Help Me Decide Ultrawide vs Hi-Res

5k is fantastic with my Mac, but to be honest I don't notice the difference with 4k for anything but the UI elements. I have the Asus PA27JCV. Great colour, decent matte finish. Backlight bleed is acceptable. Connectivity options are lacking. I use Windows at work. Have a 32" 4k Samsung. It's fine.

Monitor for Mac mini m4

Love my asus proart 5k pa27jcv. It’s perfect for my setup. Terrible sound, incredible image quality, matte cover, a bit brighter than typical display. Type-C connection for iPad/MacBook, additional ports. Mostly perfect for work, but not that good for gaming
