A premium screen with a 60hz refresh rate in 2022 is, frankly, ridiculous

  Not for the intended audience. Pixel density > refresh rate outside of gaming.

    Colors too. Maybe also dark black.

    Sure it's not for gaming, otherwise there'd be questions about response time and such. However, 60hz vs 100hz does make a noticeable difference for scrolling or 3D work or slow-mo video. Even 90hz would be good enough of an improvement. Edit: Oh i didn't mean reducing the PPI in favor of the refresh rate. I meant keeping the >4K and the PPI but pushing the refresh rate above 60hz.

    Try 20hz for a bit and you might change your mind on "Pixel density > refresh rate outside of gaming".

  It’s a Thunderbolt limitation at 5K. https://www.datapro.net/techinfo/thunderbolt_info.html#q26 https://www.datapro.net/techinfo/thunderbolt_info.html#q26

    The limit is ~90hz, and they already have tech for pro motion (variable refresh rate) in macOS.

      The video part of Thunderbolt 4 is based on DisplayPort 1.4, which is limited to 60Hz for 5K.

  It’s 5K. My understanding is there isn’t enough bandwidth on a TB4 cable to do more than 5K @ 60hz.
