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

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

Who all is selling 5K, 600-nit full-screen brightness monitors with excellent speakers, built-in webcam, Thunderbolt/USB-C hub with 96W PD, 100% sRGB coverage, and ~90% Adobe RGB coverage for significantly less than $1499? Build quality and warranty/service is also a concern here. There are other 5K

The Studio XDR is something else

The highlights in any HDR video you encounter are just going to be mindblowing if you haven't seen true 1000 nits+ monitor. The PG27UCDM I had was only able to do correct EOTF curve up to 400 nits but the XDR is accurate up to 2000 nits. That's the major difference. There are minor differences like

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

The more I read about monitors, the more I'm confused which one to pick

I have an Asus PA27JCV (5K), but I also have an LG UP850 (4K) that I gave to my wife, who uses it all day with her MacBook. Let me tell you, the Asus quality is just crap! It crunches like a rustling candy wrapper. Backlight bleeding is everywhere, and that's supposedly normal. When I tested it, eve

Looking for a new 4k 32 inch glossy OLED… Recommendations?

If a Mac is your main machine, get the Studio Display XDR and forget about monitors for the next decade. I'm serious. I've tried from the PG27UCDM, ProArt PA27JCV, and finally the XDR. All of them pales in comparison to the XDR.

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
