Apple Drops Prices of 4K and 5K LG Displays by 25 Percent

Great now fix the price of the new MacBook Pros and maybe I will look into getting some adapters
Don't look at the monitor. Look at the 5K.
The 5K pixels from the best monitor manufacturer makes it a lot more desirable. I'm not looking at the monitor housing and the logo, I'm looking at the 5K pixels that it displays.
Come on Apple! You have some stubborn fish in this pond. Throw your line out with some better bait and you will get more nibbles.
Now if they would just cut that forehead on the 5K monitor by 25%...
They won't reduce the price of the MBP now. That would be admitting they priced it wrong. Lowering accessories is one thing. And like I said in the other thread - they blew the opportunity for cheers and some great press by NOT announcing these reductions at the keynote.
Tim and Schiller are CLOWNS !
they tried to get away with ripping apple's customers off and failed miserably
they keep thinking apple customers are dumb and will sign blank checks at anything apple spews no matter how neutered their latest products are

You have to applaud Apple's marketing team. Make every peripheral that's thunderbolt required attractive and hopefully the reality distortion effect pushes their impulse to forget about the unit cost of their pro laptops.
That said, these screens are a bargain and wouldn't mind pairing a dongle for a PC workstation.

Breaking news: Apple gives product away for free!
Internet: Apple is dumping their crap hardware on an unsuspecting public.

There is nothing to complain about this. It's an LG product. Not Apple.
Hopefully LG reads customer feedback, lol

Pretty attractive price, if the only computer I owned was a 2016 MacBook Pro. The lack of any legacy connections on that display means it probably won't work, even with a dongle/adapter, with my Windows PC. I use displays for both.
I actually just bought a pair of Dell 4k 27" displays. I picked those instead of the LG primarily because it'll work with everything. Old(er) Macs, my Windows PC; heck, if I really wanted to I could plug in a Satellite TV box or something. They have HDMI (good for 1080p or 4k@30hz) and miniDP/DisplayPort.

Something tells me that Phil's claims that the new Macbook Pro is the most pre-ordered model ever might be less than true.
Is that mild panic I smell wafting over Cupertino?
This is all about optics. They are selling macs faster than they can make them .
They need you to not cancel the order so they are going to toss in some cheapness
Almost makes you think they're listening to the customer, but I know better.

Suspicious. Has this happened before so
Indeed, something is very wrong here.
Also want to know if both are fully compatible with Bootcamp.
How dare they charge less for that monitor. Apple you're horrible!
