5K, 6K or 8K: new Asus ProArt monitors

[EugW]

Cheapest I can see it in Europe is almost 1700€ which would be 2750 canadian dollars. Guess they are not anxious to sell them here.

Canada doesn’t include your 20% VAT in the shown price. Taxes and environmental fee get added at checkout.

The 8K is now available to buy on the ASUS Store ($8,799 in the US) — B&H also has it for pre-order with “expected availability” shown as January 2.

I would've preferred that the 8K display retain 218ppi making it 41" at under $2k.

I just bought the ProArt 6K for my 2019 Mac Pro but cannot get it to output at 60Hz. Has anybody else encountered this problem or have any potential solutions? I’ve tried different cables, ports, etc. with no luck.

On Apple's support page they list the first GPU to support Display Stream Compression (DSC) as the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X.
So you need that, or a later GPU, to get 6K over a USB-C Alt-mode monitor.
Earlier GPUs had to have a Thunderbolt 3 display to get 6K.
