Thank you. As someone that values pixel density and wants a 5k / 27" display I thought I was crazy walking into any reddit discussion on this topic. It's refresh rate over everything else over there. An attribute I couldn't care less about. I need 60 Hz and, probably, native 24p for the occassional film I don't want to watch on the big screen but other than that it's sharp text I care about. Meanwhile people act as if there are countless other 5k / 27" on the market or suggest that 5k at any ridiculously large display size is just as fine. Most people don't seem to be aware of how resolutions, display sizes and scaling behavior on macOS interact and depend on each other.

Exactly. I don't dismiss people that want certain feature that it doesn't have or want better display tech but for my eyes I want 5K/27" and 60hz is perfectly fine. I honestly can't tell a difference between my M1 Max and my 2019 MBP display (w.r.t. refresh rate). Same as I couldn't tell a difference between my iPhone 13 and my iPhone 12. My eyes might just be shit but refresh rate doesn't really make a difference for me. Personally I'd just as well strip the camera/speakers/mic out of the ACD but I understand there are compromises you always have to make. The fact that some many people are up in arms that this display didn't have the exact specs /they/ wanted is just childish. Especially when there doesn't exist comparable 5K/27"'s for much cheaper.
