Yeah I bought 3 of the Q-NIX brands and they are the best monitors I've ever purchased. All 3 are(seem) to be flawless. And they overclock to 120hz
Oh, hello there, beautiful.
Let's say you and me ditch all this bickering and you come home with someone who will treat you right. Yes yes, right this way!

The 32" version costs a lot more, but should be less by that logic.
Pixel density isn't the only important spec. Colour depth, viewing angles, ports, or one of several other things could be the reason. Lower specification is the likely a factor, but we don't know which specs yet.
It was more a joint between Apple and Intel where Apple brought the idea to Intel as Light Peak.
I know pixels are not the only important thing but you can get a 39inch 4k display for $480ish today so this just doesnt seem like a good deal to me. I understand its more dense on the smaller monitors but I would rather have a bigger screen to work with.
Where can you get that display??
4K for $480? Sign me up now.
Edit -> That's a panel price not a complete monitor.
If you only care about the number of pixels, and not the quality of the display, then, by all means, buy the cheapest one you can find.
They were, they put them in the 27" iMacs before any one else was using them. LG hadn't even announced them.
I'm sure they are referring to this: http://www.amazon.com/Seiki-Digital...F8&qid=1386024649&sr=8-1&keywords=4k+ultra+hd

It's almost always to do with yield, I'm guessing the 28" has a much higher yield than the 24" due to the pixel density.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that won't happen. It's less PPI than the rMBP.
I think they'll be a 21.5 inch iMac like there is now with this resolution, and a 27 inch iMac (and TBD) with a 5120x2880 resolution. I hope, anyway.
Wow, this is really heading in the right direction!! 24" is the sweet spot for me in terms of screen size, would love a 4K screen at this size. 28 is too big. It would be great to run on my Mac Mini in retina mode.
It's still too costly for me but way cheaper than I expected. Once a 24" 4K comes out at half the price and without 10bit support, it's an instabuy for me. I love the retina look of text and the matte screen would be great too. At least this pro model bodes well for a more budget version soon.

1) You don't need any adapter for this monitor to work on a Thunderbolt-enabled Mac. It connects straight out of the box on a Mac just like on a PC. You lose nothing compared to a PC user.
2) Apple doesn't sell dedicated Thunderbolt hubs. You seem to be confused as to what Thunderbolt and mini DiplayPort are. Read up before complaining.
3) You didn't pay for Thunderbolt. It's simply an upgrade over mini DisplayPort which didn't remove any feature, didn't take more space on Macs and didn't cause any price hike.
4) How does the fact Thunderbolt has almost no adoption outside of Mac products make it a joke? Is the MagSafe connector a joke as well just because it's not standard and never found on other products? Some professionnals do use it and like it, those who don't use it have absolutely no drawbacks, that's what matters.
5) Why do you even care whether Thunderbolt is a success or a failure if you don't use it? Even if it was unanimously considered a failure, how would it affect you?
6) I'll remind you that Thunderbolt is also in part what made rMBPs thinner, by allowing to remove FireWire/Gigabit Ethernet ports without losing compatibility completely. Even if that was strictly the only thing Thunderbolt did over mDP, it still would have been a nice addition.
While we're at it, why not complain every time new speakers come out and don't support optical audio? MacBook Pros' 3.5 mm output supports optical audio even though 99% of people will only ever use it for analog audio. Why don't people complain about that as well? Just because it doesn't have a fancy marketing name?

You can argue that the ipad mini retina PPI is even higher than the iPhone. I think it matters on the distance and screen size. A monitor with a higher PPI would be worthless as your eyes would never see it unless you are 4-5 inches from the screen. I might be wrong, but just makes sense to me.
Remember the days when matte was standard and glossy was the premium version. Now it's vice versa
There was a time when Apple was the first to announce ground breaking products. There was a time when Apple announced the first 30" computer monitor, then the first laptop with a 17" screen... now Apple just follows others and is largely in "status quo" mode because it has no drive to deliver anything new ahead of anyone else.
I fear that my Apple may have a worm in it.

I dunno if that's entirely true. Their sales for a 17" were really low so they discontinued it. I don't think that has anything to do with status quo. Same goes for the 30". It was outdated and at the time, there were no 30" LED monitors so they opted for a 27" instead. In the last year, a ton of 30" LED monitors were released, so not sure why apple didn't jump on that. Ideally they need to release a 4k and a 27" that has the same LCD as the current iMac with no glare.
But come on, they come up with new things. They are the first to release a desktop computer that is a powerful workstation in a small quiet package.
I think that the time has come for Apple to be more competitive and start going after marketshare.
Jobs is gone, and they don't seem to be able to create anything beyond improving and expanding what has already been invented.
Damn straight. It'll be better.

Don't care. I buy anything that's shiny and has an Apple on it.

Exactly. I need sexy apple products around my other shiny apple products.
Nice to see these displays coming out. Hopefully that will put some pressure to Apple release something 4K very soon.
I would love to see the 30" display again and that lovely matte option that makes it so nice to stare at.
