It not just Sheepleism though, if you want the retina dpi (and it do look good), and no scaling wonkyness, you basically have this or the LG Ultrafines, which are in the same price range.

But yes, it costs a penny.

Does the monitor fall under 90 day return window?

EDIT: It does not, so no need for Apple Care, can return any time.
I think it does have the 90 day return policy. It states that at the bottom right of the page - right?

If you don't have a Mac, don't buy this. If you have a Mac and want a beautiful 5k monitor, this is your only real option right now.

Quote from Miked443 :
Nobody should be buying this when a mac mini pro and non pro is released already and can be used with a monitor of your choice. This is one of the most redundant product in their mac lineup.
????

The best setup is a Mac Studio + Studio Display, or Mac Mini M2 + Studio Display. The entire point of your comment should be directing people away from macbooks (laptops) and imacs (all-in-ones).

Yes, then you have the option of going with an Apple monitor, or one of the LG UltraFines, or some other monitor of your choice, but hating on the studio display ain't it, man.

Enjoy your $1500 60hz monitor. Rofl. I have tons of apple products but I will never understand apple fanboys.
You're going to get downvoted, not because of Apple fanboys but because you come off like a pretentious douche.

Quote from scottman :
Is it worth it to just get the last gen 27 imac for $200-500 more depending on model, or is this screen different?
Only if you want a last gen 27" iMac. You can't use a 5K iMac as a monitor without doing some internal surgery too it -- there are videos on YouTube on how to do it but it's a PITA.

This monitor is really aimed at the Mac Studio user who doesn't have the $ for the XDR monitor but does want native 5K resolution of the Studio. This is a pro-sumer, entry-level "pro" monitor. Plenty of great less expensive 4K consumer monitors.

Tempting to get a 2nd one at this price but I really want a VESA mount one for flexibility. My current on is this tilt-only model. Unless I see a deep discounted VESA model I'll hold off and see if Apple releases a better featured mid-level model w/ the new Mac Pro. I'd agree the Studio Display @ full MSRP is overpriced. But it's fair value at $1300 -- same as the LG and much better build quality.

So the ProMotion buzzword seems to mean 120Hz display with adaptive frequency for power savings. The latter seems to be only useful for a device powering the screen from a battery. So in this use case the name dropping only means 120 Hz.

Guessing not or it would say it's available at a lower price in-store, etc., etc. This seems a bit esoteric to be in-store. It's a niche monitor and really best paired with a Mac Studio.

I paid $900 out the door for 3 27" 144hz viewsonic monitors during the height of covid-19.
I love a ton of Apple products but this is seriously overpriced.
And I bought three Honda Civics for less than your Porsche! :-)

Hey, if 5K is not what you want/need for your use case, this is absolutely not the monitor you want to buy. My 5K iMac screen looks amazing for my use case (I love the super sharp photos and text), but I have little use for a 144Hz gaming monitor with perfect text size (if not sharpness).

And it's only overpriced when another comparable monitor is available for less. Hopefully the new 5K and 6K Samsung and Dell monitors will put some more downward pressure on this price, but they're not available yet.

Let's clear a few things up:
1. This is not for the average consumer. Some of the early ones, sure, but not the latest ones.
2. The color rendering, for those who need it, is way more important than refresh rates.
3. Why people still discuss "gaming monitors" for macs is beyond me. A true PC gamer isn't buying a mac.
4. Is this monitor overpriced? Maybe. I think a Range Rover is overpriced but i'm not in the market for one nor am I their target audience. Temper expectations accordingly. Personally, I went with a couple Dell 27" 4k monitors and they're fine for me. But i'm not going to shun someone if they choose this.
5. While I may be speculating, anytime apple devices start going on promotions/deals that's usually an indication that something new is coming out. they've discussed miniLED, promotion, etc., in their next iteration. I feel like that's coming sooner than later but don't expect the prices to get better.

Dude ! did you even see what is posted? This is monitor, what is intel processor has to do with it?
I believe the post about the intel processor was in response to the post asking about buying the last gen 27 imac instead of the monitor. The last gen 27 imac still has an intel processor.

If they can get ProMotion in their 5k displays I'll be sold. This is still an incredible monitor but if I'm dropping $1,000+ I just can't go back to 60Hz
No clue who is downvoting you -- you are 100% correct

I'm at 32" 120hz 4k for my Mac usage, specifically sacrificing more pixels because the smoothness of 120hz+ is just something you can't go back from.
