Those who dismiss this have never used a 5K. 5K doesn't sound like a lot but 4K is 8.4 million pixels, 5K is close to 15 million pixels. That 1K difference is staggering. 219 PPI on a 27" inch. Once you experience it, there is no going back. Not even a $800 42" OLED LG C2 would convert me over. That PPI makes a real difference for my use case ---- a developer working on code all day. The text is razor sharp. It is like looking at an iPad. You can code all day, 10 hours a day with no eye strain. That to me, makes the 5K resolution premium worth it.

Also, if you have Costco membership, buy from Costco so you can return it any time (monitors are not limited to 90 day returns like other electronics).
The idea of combining this with a M2 Mac Mini would be a wonderful setup. Still, a 27" iMac will probably be ~ $2,499.

I used one of these for a bit with my M1 Pro Macbook and the display is fine, but there's nothing special besides higher resolution. I preferred my LG monitor and returned this one. The integrated camera is atrocious for the ridiculous price. Also, you gotta pay extra for the "nano-texture" glass, which is basically just a matte finish. Also gotta pay extra for the height adjustable feature. 🙄🙄🙄
I generally like Apple products but this is pushing it.
Get an Eizo ColorEdge monitor or a Sony Broadcast Monitor such as this one recommended by HDTVTest [youtube.com] if you want real professional grade equipment.

$4,999 sounds ridiculous, but for real pro applications and reference monitors it's comparing to $20,000+ options. Even the $1,000 for Nano-texture glass is comparatively a good deal in the professional/commercial segment.
