This one’s claim to fame is 75Hz refresh rate. Honestly having a hard time keeping track of all the new retina monitors.

It's disappointing that so few of these have built-in cameras, microphones, and speakers. I fell in love with the 27" 5K form factor when I bought an early model iMac 5K. Over the years I've had it, I've had enough issues with the machine that I decided to never get an all-in-one again.

Three years ago I bought an Ultrafine 5K and have used it with three different computers, including an Intel NUC running windows and linux. The speakers and camera aren't as good as an iMac, but it's...fine. I expect to use it for many more years.

I'm still looking for the "iMac without the computer" and not happy with the options. The Apple Studio Display is closest, of course, but the price and camera issues are a turn off. I'd like some of these new displays to take it on more directly in terms of being an all-but-the-computer-in-one device.


One potential caveat is that the 10-bit color is achieved via 8-bit + FRC. It’s nice to see a matte 5k display again, though.
