Alogic Debuts $2,000 32-Inch 6K Display With Touch Support

[MacRumors]

Alogic today announced a 6K display that supports touch-based input, with the company saying that it's the world's first 6K touchscreen that's compatible with the Mac.

The Clarity 6K Touch with Fold Stand has a 32-inch 6K display with a touchscreen. The display has a 6016 x 3384 resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, 400 nits maximum brightness, and 99 percent Adobe RGB/DCI-P3 color accuracy. The display provides 90W of power for charging up a connected MacBook.

With touch integration enabled through a Mac driver and accompanying app, the Clarity 6K Touch can function like a 32-inch iPad. It supports 10-point multitouch and has full MPP 2.0 stylus compatibility, so it supports drawing and sketching along with a number of gestures. Alogic says that it has the same intuitive multitouch functionality as its other Clarity Touch monitors, just with a higher resolution. If you're curious about how the touch functionality works on a Mac, we have a review of the Clarity 5K Touch Display.

The included Clarity Fold Stand allows the display to shift between upright mode and flat drafting table mode, so it functions with any workflow.

Alogic plans to launch the Clarity 6K Touch in mid-October, and it will be priced at $2,000 in the United States.

Along with the Clarity 6K Touch, Alogic is also announcing several other displays, including a $1,800 4K 32-inch Aspekt UHD 4K Touch with multiple stand options, a $1,300 non-touch Aspekt UHD 4K, and a $1,500 Edge 5K display with optional Edge Dual Vertical Monitor Mount.

More information on Alogic's new devices can be found on the Alogic website.

"400 nits maximum brightness" 🥱

It’s your money, do what you want with it — I’m just pointing this out.

Glossy or matty dread

 

[gpat]

That's actually really fair pricing.

Glossy or matty dread

The Clarity Displays are mostly glossy ones 😊👍

 

[Bustycat]

Who wants this when you can get a Pro Display XDR (also 6K!) with a stand for only $5,998?

For normal usage 400 nits is far enough!

 

[kitkat99333]

I'm guessing it will be gloss as all their others are I think and the picture suggests gloss.

and 60Hz 😅

 

[iBluetooth]

Nice monitor, but I would go for a non-touch version that would be lower priced

 

[ErneX]

and 60Hz 😅

There are no other monitors of the same size, resolution and aspect ratio that feature higher refresh than 60hz as far as I know. Complaining about that seems to be ignoring what else is there with the same features.

 

[kitkat99333]

and 60Hz 😅

There are no panels at 6k above 60hz that exist from any manufacturers at the moment.

 

[T'hain Esh Kelch]

Indeed. The closest you'll get if you want higher framerates, is the dual-panel Samsung Neo G9 at 8k2k at 240 hz. Or the new LG 5k2k OLED at 165 hz.

 

[MakaniKai]

I’m very curious how well a touch screen works on a Mac. The best I’ve been able to try is mirroring my Mac to my iPad and then using the Apple Pencil (finger input does nothing).

 

[Tig_one]

They missed a great opportunity to lead.

 

[ErneX]

They missed a great opportunity to lead.

Thing is the monitor brands work with what the few panel manufacturers have to offer. They are not like Apple who can splurge/afford to get LG Display to manufacture a bespoke panel just for them.

Just look how many years it took to start seeing other 32 inch monitors at 6K resolution. There’s a reason for that.

NO we don't need a touch optimised macOS - this is for a specific use case where you'd use touch input within the app.

 

[Shirasaki]

Well while I can’t afford it today that monitor certainly intrigues me to experience full touch macOS if it supports it. Worse case, windows with touch.

 

[Shirasaki]

NO we don't need a touch optimised macOS - this is for a specific use case where you'd use touch input within the app.

Certainly won’t hurt for those daring to try, optimised or not. Aka, “take the matter to our own hands”.

 

[jonnysods]

Makes my shoulders hurt just thinking about using it for a day at work.

 

[contacos]

Makes my shoulders hurt just thinking about using it for a day at work.

You can adjust it, can't you? I guess this could make sense for architects or people looking at construction maps all day

 

[magic_mouse_max]

Greasy fingerprints? Nice!

 

[kitkat99333]

Greasy fingerprints? Nice!

Why moan for the sake of moaning? That's what a touchscreen gives you? either don't use it as a touchscreen or use the stylus..

 

[kitkat99333]

They missed a great opportunity to lead.

No one makes their own panel. They buy the panels in and then make a full monitor package around those panels available.

 

[Happy_John]

Cheaper than a 27" Wacom Cintiq, and seems to be designed for similar use-cases, but I'd like to see a side-to-side comparison of the two.

The software, not the hardware. might be the stumbling point.
