Good price for this monitor (really what it should have been all along). I have it, enjoy it for photo editing, but do regret not getting the VESA model and buying a 3rd party stand for flexibility.
Out of curiosity, what is the most comparable third-party display (especially for the price), and what are its strengths and weaknesses compared to this? (Honest question, if anyone doubts.)

LG 5k display has the same panel, but doesn't have the build quality of the apple one. Also this has a pretty decent webcam and good speakers.

60hz for $1350. Wow, just wow!
i mean... i'd never buy it, because it's not what i need/want a monitor for...
but show me a 5K monitor with the same clarity and 120Hz?
over 60Hz is a waste for this monitor's intentions anyway... it ain't a gaming monitor

None that are dependable long term. Just buy the apple and move on happily. I paid full price with apple care on day 1 and still enjoy looking at it daily. I tried so many 4K monitors and returned them all. This one even works beautiful with a windows computer if you get a specific cable for $70.

You don't need 120hz just for gaming. It makes moving windows and scrolling smoother, for one thing. And I can get 2 4K 120hz+ monitors with 100%^ DCI-P3 or Adobe RGB for less than one of these and still pocket $250.

You're missing the point. It's specifically meant to be used with a Mac and natively. The other monitors offer higher refresh rate but lack the pixel closeness and hidpi settings that make using this display identical to a MacBook screen.

None of the apple refurbs are VESA either :/
Someone report to Amazon for match? I'm on mobile only today.
