Why not just buy a 4K monitor from another company?
- mikestew 7y agoSame reason I didn't buy a 1440 rez Dell when I originally bought the Cinema display: the Apple product is supposed to "integrate seamlessly, for a full cinema experience, and an orgasmic combination of fanboism". The display also made for a great MBP docking station back in the day. And it's still a nice display, if ten years old. I want another one of those, only moar pixelz. And not five thousand g-ddamned dollars.

- kitsunesoba 7y agoBecause 4K doesn’t pixel double and the 5K display selection is somewhere between sparse and nonexistent.
- josho 7y agoI have an Apple Thunderbolt Display and a generic 4k. The Apple display powers on instantly, the speakers are fantastic, it functions as a dock, and I can control brightness from the keyboard. The generic 4k display has none of those benefits, oh and I can't seem to get accurate colors. I was prepared to buy a new Apple display today knowing that it would be quality in all those aspects. Instead it'll be trial and error to discover a good monitor that works as well as Apple's aging thunderbolt display.
- benjamin_mahler 7y agoI had the same frustrations, and found a way to control monitor brightness with the brightness keys: https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/6kj0oh/use_the_real_brightness_keys_on_a_real_apple/ https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/6kj0oh/use_the_real_br...
