Every time I buy the LG 5K I feel a little sad (it's overpriced for what it is, outdated, and limited with non-Macs), but every time I use it, I'm happy with the purchase.
Biggest downside (aside from the price) is extending the Apple lock-in.
- x0x0 5y agoI've also had a great experience w/ this monitor. As mentioned elsewhere, it and my mac are sensitive to the cable, so it's worth trying a couple if they give problems. (More apple idiocy: what if we put the same connector everywhere, but made devices super sensitive to some qualities of the cables, connectors, or who knows what -- there's definitely no way this will be super confusing for users!)
- Groxx 5y agoThis is also somewhat usb-c in a nutshell. Not all ports or cables are made equally, and the spec very much allows that.
- sroussey 5y agoI have two. One has a bad burnin problem. It takes 30min to set and the rest of the day I see that original image. The other has a weird color wave. I used to buy an iMac 27 so I could have a great first screen. I’d like to go back or have an apple monitor again.
