Yeah, I feel this way as well. I've experimented with some 4K displays and I currently use a Dell P2715Q, the 4K 27" in the article. It's a stellar monitor, but at full 2x pixel doubling, it doesn't offer as much space as my 30" Apple Cinema Display years ago. When you disable pixel doubling and opt for a scaled resolution, it's a little blurry but still good. (Tip for people running a scaled resolution with a Mac on a 4K display: disabling pixel smoothing makes text a little less blurry.) There's been a bit of a gap between <Period of time where we had affordable 27-30" displays> and <Period of time where we had affordable 27-30" Retina-quality displays>. Between those two points in time, tastes among Retina desktop users changed, but 5K display prices still are very high (the pictured UP2715K will set you back $1700). I think it'll only be a matter of time, I'd say 2 years, before we see affordable 5K displays, though. 4K panels dramatically came down in price in the past few years, and I'm thinking we'll see the same with 5K. Great setup by the way!
