The manufacturer specs are misleading. It has a 1440 vertical resolution. So if you're using a Mac, you won't get HiDPI.

Wait what? What do you mean, "It has a 1440 vertical resolution"? The titles, specs, everything all show a vertical resolution of 1440P and/or 2K. What is misleading?

According to Rufus, the AI on Amazon sales page, it's not 2K. Maybe Rufus is wrong. But I've found him to be accurate in the past.

I would say this listing is misleading; 5k2k typically refers to WUHD (5120x2160), this thing is WDQHD (5120x1440)

Interesting. That would be a weird thing to get wrong.
I did some digging on HiDPI. This thing isn't that nor does it claim to be that. In order to HiDPI at this size, this thing would need a crazy amount of pixels. Way more than Apple Studio Display XR. The Apple monitor has more pixels, smaller size 27", and different aspect ratio. Even if this display had the same amount of pixels, this still would not be a HiDPI display because of the sheer size difference.
The 5K is simply a reference to the horizontal resolution.

Ahh. Yeah sounds like this has been asked on the internet before.

Unsurprisingly, VA screen.
Note: It only has three total inputs (DisplayPort, HDMI 2.1, USB-C), but it is limited to 60 Hz on both HDMI and USB-C.
So, your only choice is to use the single DisplayPort connection for 120 Hz.

I would consider this to be their 5k2k offering: https://www.amazon.com/INNOCN-Inc...B0D7Q8N64F

I wonder why they took this different approach with listing titles
