Bought it, don't think I've seen another 5k monitor at this price range. Will mostly use for productivity but nice to have the dual mode for when I game.

I bought two and got them set up over the weekend. Really nice displays, especially for the price. Only weird thing is that they did not include the USB-B upstream cable, so if you need the USB hub functionality, that will be an added expense.

Isn't this resolution ridiculous for the size?

Do people who don't have an edu or epp account ask others to order it for them?

I hope your luck is better than mine. I ordered one of these last week and the resolution is great but the contrast, color, and (uneven) backlighting was awful. It seemed like there was an issue with one of the layers between the panel and the front of the screen (like the polarization layer was shifted slightly or something like that).

The easiest way to tell is put on a full white screen and you can see that all of the edges are dark. But it's not like other uneven backlighting I've seen before... if you move your eyes so they're directly in front of an edge then that edge looks fine, so it's something about the viewing angle. I've only ever seen one other review that mentioned this though so maybe there's just a small number of them that have a manufacturing defect.

5K @ 27" is 218ppi which is what macOS is designed for. They do that because this is the density where our eyes can no longer see the individual pixels. Basically, all curved lines, includes curves in text become smooth instead of jagged. They used to say the same thing about iPhone screens but now most cell phones use high density displays and they look beautiful.
