For reference I looked at a lot of 4K 27 inch and 6k 32 inch competitors. The $100 off this is nice, but I'm curious what it'll be priced at in ~6-8 months.

Good to see more alternatives to Apple Studio (and dell, asus...). This is the first alert I have received in awhile for my "5k monitor", so hoping to see more deals in the future!
I don't need my main monitor to be OLED or Mini-LED...I don't really want the local dimming. What matters most to me is strong color accuracy, good uniformity, sharpness, and honestly I want to try out a higher resolution to see how I like it.
For reference, I also looked at:
- ASUS ProArt PA32QCV 6K 32-inch (decided against 32-inch)
- BenQ MA270UP 4K 27-inch (was leaning toward this, but chose to spend more)
- Apple Studio Display 5K 27-inch (didn't want to spend that much)
- LG UltraFine 5K 27-inch (didn't want a matte finish, and the BenQ was cheaper)
None of these are OLED or Mini-LED. I ended up choosing the BenQ MA270S because of the features that help match the color profile of my MacBook Pro, the nano display, and I wanted to try out 5k. I really like my MacBook Pro's display, and this felt like the closest match outside of the Apple Studio Display.I'm sure other full-time creatives might find this useful. There are definitely people who don't watch movies or play games with their monitor. This is just going to be used for work for me.
Maybe you might be right and this won't be worth the $900, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it for my use case. I'll report back with an update 🙂
