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

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

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

Kuycon G32P 6K 32-inch IPS Black Monitor

I also ordered one today through Alibaba. Was waiting on the Asus 6K but had a disappointing experience with the Asus 5K (PA27JCV, fuzzy matte coating). This will be my first glass coating monitor and I'm very curious whether it makes a difference. Got conformation through the chat with Kuycon that

LG Ultrafine 6K seems to not be glossy

Is matte that bad? I’m weighing up Asus ProArt PA27JCV, BenQ PD2730S, and Apple Studio Display (VESA, used marketplace) and I don’t need a webcam or speakers but the ASD still seems to come out on top. Criticism of the others seems to be related to the matte finish

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

Both ASUS’s LuxPixel as well as Apple’s nano-texture diminish the sharpness on the PA27JCV and Studio Display respectively, at least to my eyes. The nano-texture on the iPad Pro was pretty good, though.

I thought I loved OLED screens, but turns out what I really love is glossy screens

First of all, I did not ask AI to list screens that are not glossy. I knew about all of them. And even if I didn’t, that is besides the point of discussion. I showed quotes by those three brands that acknowledge that some users do find reflections a problem. And we have the Samsung Frame to make the

Asus ProArt PA32QCV (31.5″ 6K 6016×3384 monitor) — video review by MacRumors

Does the 32“/6K Monitor has the same issue with the matte coating giving a vaseline smeary rainbow effect on white backgrounds as the 27“ does? The issue is discussed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/HiDPI_monitors/comments/1id8b1q/the_asus_proart_5k_monitor_pa27jcv_has_a_terrible I had the 27“ on my desk but

The ASUS ProArt 5K Monitor (PA27JCV) Has A Terrible Matte Coating

Did you find that dark mode helps? My decade old pro-oriented ASUS -- which I am still using -- also had a bit dramatic matted display than earlier monitors. But I have been able to adjust to that. The PA27JCV was just too aggressive. I feel like a lot of folks hate on matted, but I hope the experie
