Since you're talking about video editing, the lack of HDR is very nearly a deal breaker for that professional market. Also this is an 8bit + FRC panel if you care about that sort of thing. Regardless multi-monitor setups exist and are well supported, so it's not hard to get both a 4k preview at 1:1 scaling and have plenty of room for controls by just running 2 displays. It'd be nice to have it all - 5k, >60hz, and a decent HDR support. Even just 90hz would be a good improvement, but 120hz gets you zero pulldown for 24fps video! But alas that display doesn't exist. This display doesn't seem to really strike a good balance of what's achievable, it feels like a stop gap placeholder for the now canceled 27" iMac

Which is why Apple make the XDR for the professional market.

  It's not >60 Hz though

    You don't really ever need >60Hz for editing though. You're working with 60fps, at most, but even more likely 30fps or 24fps.

      I'm not much into video editing, but is it not useful that 120 hz is a multiple of 24, while 60 hz is not?

      Remember all those 120hz and 240hz plasma TVs back in the day that couldn't take any >60hz input signal? Yeah that wasn't just pointless marketing. It was so they could show 24fps and 48fps video content smoothly, without 3:2 pulldown artifacts. If you're working in a professional video studio, chances are you're probably going to encounter 24fps video. So yeah, still matters beyond gaming.

72Hz, 96Hz, 120Hz, 240Hz, all fix pulldown and will all look exactly the same side by side. 72Hz (75Hz is normally what's tested) is noticeably smoother than 60Hz. Most 60Hz monitors support 75Hz, but since we're talking about niche products here chances are they have a different set of hidden features than usual (perhaps higher perhaps lower).
