    Shame no KVM built in for those of us with work and home computers. That seems often overlooked on many displays.

    That aside seems like a solid alternative on paper.

      A lot of the Dell and Eizo monitors for office use seem to have these. Unfortunately no 5k monitors

        Yeah love my Dell monitors, I’ve had 3 UltraSharps and currently have a UP3017 and it’s great.

        I really want something that is ~200PPI and has an IPS Black panel as my next monitor and it needs to have a built in KVM and adjustable stand. (120hz would be nice too, but idk how possible that is at such a resolution). So I’ll just keep using this monitor until something finally comes along, it’s crazy how long it’s taken for “retina” monitors to become widespread.

      Isn’t it a bandwidth issue? If not that, then probably it’s just too expensive to produce for a prosumer-grade product. I think there’s a market for this product, as there’s presumably a market for the Studio Display that they’re trying to compete with, but I would guess that this quickly drops to ~$1000 if they actually want to move these. Making this with a 5k/120fps display would certainly push their price above Apples and I just kinda doubt there’s enough of a market. Pricing it equal to the Studio display seems like they’re just testing the waters but no way can be a long term thing.
