When you really look into what's available, there's a fair bit of variation in the market for different customers, but there's incredibly few 5k+ displays at 27 or ~30 inches. Like zero if you discount the LG. Everything else is kind of ok, but not always a good replacement.

- jsjohnst 4y ago> This is about to change with higher spec connectors being more widely available. Thunderbolt 3 has been around for over five years on mainstream Mac (and Windows) machines, so what’s the excuse again? I can count the number of monitors in the same resolution space (or higher) on one hand! ;) There’s the insanely priced XDR 6K, there’s the not much better priced Dell 8K, then there’s the LG 5K that’s cheap plastic build quality and hasn’t been refreshed in 5 years. Anyone else? … Bueler?

It features a 5K 27” screen for the first time and is optimized for creative professionals such as graphic designers and photographers. Its 5,120 x 2,880 resolution combined with its wide color gamut of 99% DCI-P3, provides crisp and true-to-form details, and its average Delta E ≦ 2[1] color accuracy also produces clear and precise color representation, even in complicated or nuanced visual environments." https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-electronics-unveils-new-odyssey-viewfinity-and-smart-monitor-lineups-at-ces-2023/ https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-electronics-unveils-new-...
- brailsafe 4y agoWow, that's extremely timely and is pretty much exactly what I was hoping someone would link to correct me. I'll keep my eye on that, thanks. I'd personally still only be in the market for a >27" size, just because I feel like 27" is too small, but this would open the floor for competition in that range. I really like the 30" Ultrasharp, and would consider a 32" as long as the resolution, connectivity, pixel density, and panel tech are in place.
