There's the LG Ultrafine 5K. Apple even sells it. I'm pretty sure it's literally the same panel as the iMac.
The iMac except for the Pro aren't easily VESA adaptable after purchase. Like you can't remove the original stand. Really it should be at the very least height adjustable at this point. But it's pretty sad when a $200 monitor will have better ergonomics than a $2000 all in one.
The desktop monitor market is mostly driven by PC gamers and businesses who don't want the highest resolutions for different reasons.

I'm always surprised that so many people buy large monitors whilst ignoring the resolution. Big is better seems to be the mantra when it comes to monitors and probably most other consumer goods.
- goosedragons 5y agoGamers want higher refresh rates and pushing 5K@144Hz is really expensive from a GPU side vs. 1440p@144hz. While text looks better at 5K, it's less noticeable for games. So big is better but it's a different tradeoff. Businesses are just cheap and 1080p screens are good enough.
