I've got a Planar IX2790 and it's great. Article is spot-on re. scaling -- it's much nicer to look at all day (native 2x scaling) vs. 4k at 1.5x scaling.

- bredren 6y agoThanks for this idea. The design looks surprisingly like the old cinema display. Actually, apparently they use the same glass from the cinema display but no camera. [1] It looks like the main concerns on this are around stuck pixels. Have you gone through calibration / QA on yours? [2] Otherwise, seems like a compelling alternative to the Ultrafine.

- ianhowson 6y agoI believe the theory that it's 5k iMac panels that Apple rejected. I have a few stuck pixels but I never notice because they're so small. I have a blue stuck-on in the lower-right quadrant and I can't even find it now. I haven't bothered calibrating it.
