This has pixels the size of my hand, and it fully covers my field of view. Not my cup of tea.
What I do recommend (having bought one) is the Kuycon G32p, 32 inches @ 6K. Incredible quality and unbelievable value for money (https://clickclack.io/products/in-stock-kuycon-g32p-6k-32-inch-ips-black-monitor?variant=42711717281828 https://clickclack.io/products/in-stock-kuycon-g32p-6k-32-in...).
- samdixon 9mo agothis looks like a rip off of another monitor that I can't quite put my finger on...
- smilebot 9mo agoAnd no extra charge to have an adjustable stand! How do they make money?
- jdc0589 9mo agoits probably a charity, no money there.
- DustinEchoes 9mo agoNo need to recoup R&D costs.
- joshstrange 9mo agoBy having fewer pixels, lower quality screens? Crazy what you can do when you cut corners. This screen reminds of when I did tech support in high school and I helped a guy who bragged about his computer monitor, it was a TV running at 720p (if not lower) and a massive screen. The windows start bar was hilariously large (as were all UI elements), I had to just smile and nod until I got out of there. Sure, your screen may be bigger but it's blurry and everything is scaled way too large.
- semi-extrinsic 9mo ago> everything is scaled way too large The HiDPI/Retina bullshit is just bullshit. I've been running a 4K 43" 4:3 display at 100% scaling since 2018. It is neither blurry nor scaled too large. It can, however, comfortably fit 10 A4 pages simultaneously. Or 4 terminals + a browser + a PDF reader.
- joshstrange 9mo agoMy comment (or at least that quote) was specifically about someone using a 30"+ TV at 720p as their computer monitor.
- ggm 9mo agoMy arithmetic nodule is having a konniption fit. Does not compute. If this is 16:9 and you mistook your aspect ratio I can breathe again. √2:1 says 1.41:1 isn't 1.33:1 10 A4 pages do not fill a 4:3 or 3:4 aspect ratio box. They don't fill a 16:9 box either but it's more plausible, the wastage is different.

- craftkiller 9mo ago> By having fewer pixels I thought samdixon was referencing the Apple Pro Display XDR? If so, Apple has fewer pixels. Apple Pro XDR: 6016 x 3384 Kuycon G32P: 6144 x 3456
- usaphp 9mo agoLg has a similar model: https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-ultrafineevo-32-6k-nano-ips-black-professional-monitor-with-thunderbolt-5-usb-c-displayhdr-600-silver/JJ8VPZKRFK/sku/6641768 https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-ultrafineevo-32-6k-nano-i...
- madeofpalk 9mo agoFor context - this 51" monitor has 22% less pixels than the 32" Apple Pro Display XDR.
- adamnemecek 9mo agoBut those are retina pixels right? Like what is the max resolution of that display?
- gffrd 9mo ago6016 x 3384. Dell monitor is twice the surface area with 3/4 the pixels … or in reverse: Apple display is half the size with 30% more pixels. (edit: corrected dell pixel %)
- zuminator 9mo agoWhat is going on here? Why is everyone in this thread using 'pixels" to mean ppi? It seems unnecessarily confusing or even misleading. I mean blatantly a 6K monitor has more pixels than a 5K or 4K one, regardless of the pixel density.
- gffrd 9mo agoYeah, nobody’s saying a 5k monitor has more pixels than a 6k. I think what people are trying to communicate, but struggling to, is that high pixel count on a huge display can be deceptive. I think grandparent was trying to say “comparing a low-poi display to a high-ppi display is not a direct comparison.”
- nixass 9mo agoRetina pixels what? Pixel is a pixel, density _of pixels_ is what you're looking for
- lemoncucumber 9mo ago"Retina" is Apple's marketing name for high PPI displays.
- catlover76 9mo ago[dead]
- kccqzy 9mo agoIf you just want 32 inches @ 6K there are cheaper options around, such as the ASUS ProArt PA32QCV: https://www.asus.com/us/displays-desktops/monitors/proart/proart-display-6k-pa32qcv/ https://www.asus.com/us/displays-desktops/monitors/proart/pr... ASUS is a more well known brand. It doesn’t imitate the Apple aesthetic. (It does seem like the resolution differs: 6016×3384 vs 6144×3456.)
- npunt 9mo agoI recently got this after getting three copies of the LG 32U990A, which had serious light banding and uniformity issues. Loving the Asus.
- selectodude 9mo agoThat has a lower resolution though. Not by much but it’s a weird panel.
- kccqzy 9mo agoSame resolution as Apple’s 6K panel.
- bragh 9mo agoIn EU, have not seen PA32QCV ever in stock anywhere.
- kccqzy 9mo agoB&H has same-day pickup in New York.
- bragh 9mo agoAmazing, checked just now and seems that these are now in stock in many places. When I checked last week, they weren't, seems like some stock got released for EU then.

- M4R5H4LL 9mo agoI have the Apple 6K 32” Pro Display XDR and a Kuycon 5K 27”. Both are great. Apple was $6,500 and the Chinese version was $400 on EBay plus the $100 stand. Kuycon has more types of input, and a remote. Frame and display quality are on par for a dev.
- tw04 9mo ago$400 where? The cheapest I've seen the kuycon 5k is $800 before shipping, and the QA has been hit and miss with users having to pay to ship it back. It's not to say it's a bad option, but it's definitely not $400 out the door.
- zipy124 9mo agoThey aren't even close in comparison? Like 600 nits brightness vs 1000 (1600 peak) for one. Contrast ratios are very very different. It only supports HDR600. They are very different displays in person. Perhaps at low brightness on text they are similar, but outside of that they really aren't very similar.
- spullara 9mo agoI wish they had an ultra wide with the higher resolution.
- Lammy 9mo ago16:9 60Hz kinda sucks though :/ Yes I realize the Pro Display XDR has those same specs. 16:10 or 3:2 120Hz or 144Hz would be ideal to me.
- brailsafe 9mo agoI've got an eye on the CES Samsung Odyssey offerings at 32" 6k 165hz. I'd prefer 16:10 and currently run two 16:10 30" displays, but nobody making them.
- tortilla 9mo agoI posted about the new Kuycon 28” 3:2 aspect 4.5k monitor I discovered recently today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46647190 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46647190
- master_crab 9mo agoIs this a grey box replica of the Mac 32in? Because I’d interested if it is.
- swiftcoder 9mo ago> This has pixels the size of my hand This is 128 ppi, which would be considered "retina" at a viewing distance of 70cm (27in). Are you really sitting 2 feet from a 52" monitor? I'd have to cutout a curve in the front of my desk to sit that close
- buckle8017 9mo agoCurves in the front of desks is a thing. https://www.upliftdesk.com/curved-corner-standing-desk/ https://www.upliftdesk.com/curved-corner-standing-desk/

- ramraj07 9mo agoI literally have this monitor already and these pixels are humongous. Even at 3 feet away. Also the viewing angle degradation is too much, so much so that it irritates to look at the edge of the screen from the center. A very poor monitor indeed.
- dwb 9mo ago> This is 128 ppi, which would be considered "retina“ If by “retina” we mean “pleasantly sharp”, not by me. I’m never buying less than the 218 ppi of my Apple Studio Display unless I absolutely have to. I’m totally spoiled.
- dzink 9mo agoThose look like the monitors used on the F1 movie, which is strange, considering it was an Apple production and they maybe should have used apple monitors for product placement . I guess it is a testimony about Kuycon from Apple.
- wtallis 9mo agoYou should look at pictures of Apple's Pro Display XDR. The Kuycon monitor is an obvious rip-off of that in terms of styling, especially the ventilation on the back.
- toephu2 9mo agoclickclack?? sounds like a shady referral link. will not click.
- m463 9mo ago> pixels the size of my hand Sometimes this is refreshing. (display joke there, heh) this is a big monitor. Many UIs don't scale particularly well with very high resolution. So you get UI elements with super-fine text or icons. Some linux console fonts are almost unreadable with just 4k, though recent releases seem to be addressing this. also old games. for comparison, I think this is basically the dell 43" monitor with pixels on each side (16:9 -> 21:9) the height of the panel is similar, the width is higher (plus curvature)
- Dylan16807 9mo agoThere's an awkward zone where scaling doesn't work well. But if you have a screen that can do nice high levels of detail, then you can run older UIs at exactly 2x and they will look just as good as they ever did. An Apple Pro display is a good fit here, offering 218 pixels per inch compared to a "traditional" 96.
- malfist 9mo agoYou must have really tiny hands considering the pixels are smaller that .2mm by .2mm
- seanmcdirmid 9mo agoLG has a 6K 32 inch also, although a few hundred dollars more.
- iamnotagenius 9mo ago[dead]
- stein1946 9mo agoFirst time I hear about this Kuycon, the pricing seems phenomenal and the quality as well. I will probably buy one by the end of the week. It's odd that we don't get to see a lot of high quality OEM monitors.
- thatwasunusual 9mo ago> the pricing seems phenomenal I'm in Norway, and I wonder if I see different prices than people from elsewhere in the world? Here it says $1.7K, and I can get the LG UltraFine 6K 32" for $2K, with the benefit of being bought from a Norwegian retailer (think guarantees and shopping security). To be clear; I have never tried either of these monitors, so I can't tell if either is any good. :D
- moepstar 9mo agoGermany, also seeing $1699 on there...
- kombine 9mo agoIs there a significant benefit for programming in going from 4K to 6K on a 32" display? I'm currently on 27" 1440p and looking for more screen estate for my neovim setup.
- Tepix 9mo agoIf you make the fonts smaller, can you no longer read them because they are too small? Then you need a bigger monitor, not a higher resolution. If you can no longer read them because they are too pixelated, you need a higher screen resolution.
- stephenr 9mo agoOn macOS: crisper text.
- kccqzy 9mo agoThat’s on every operating system.
- stephenr 9mo agoMy understanding is that HiDPI mode on Windows requires each app to specifically support it, no?
- jhasse 9mo agoOn macOS too. On both operation systems 99% apps do though. Maybe its 99.9% on macOS vs 99.8% on Windows. But I'm using HiDPI on both and it was a long time ago that I encountered an app that didn't support it.
- roblh 9mo agoIs this some kind of OEM Apple display? Or did they just put all that effort into machine out those spheres in the back of it so it looks like one?
