Best dual screen setup (besides MA270S) for MacBook Pro M5 Pro?
If you want to game at 5K, You could try this ASUS, but it's an anti-glare screen and won't have the colour accuracy of the ProArt. If colour accuracy isn't a must have, this would be a strong contender.https://rog.asus.com/monitors/27-to-31-5-inches/rog-strix-5k-xg27jcg/ Any of the colour accurate

Recommendation for 5K or 6K glossy usable with macOS, Linux and Windows
BTW I looked a bit more at the MA270S and it sounds like the KVM wouldn't work for me, because it either has (2) HDMI inputs (but my graphics card can't do 5K on HDMI, it only has HDMI 2.0b), or a single USB-C in (PowerDelivery 35W, DisplayPort Alt Mode, USB Data) (and no other input for KVM besides

Kuycon.it Legit or Scam?
Thank you for the review, I have ordered one as well (and picked the DHL Economy Select (insured) option). I see you're in Switzerland too, was there any issue with customs, anything to pay when receiving the monitor? For context I tried a BenQ PD2730S recently and I returned it, it was pretty bad a

Actually loving the new standard Studio Display?
Benq has two 27 inch 5k monitors, matte (professional PD2730s series) and glossy (M something, do not remember exact name), both quite pricey tho. Both (supposedly) have great uniformity. Did you consider them?

BenQ MA270S first impressions
Owning myself the BenQ PD2730S, the stand on it is really good and sturdy with barely any wobble, where my previous Dell monitors were dancing all over the place just by supporting my wrists on the desk and typing. So unless the stand in this model is worse, I personally don’t think the stand is uns
