At this rate, there'll only be a short (holiday) snap for punters to actually view the new monitors in store, and process any tests /reviews (- made more difficult since they only work with the one device - ) before the discount window closes in just over 3 weeks. I guess a lot of buyers may need take advantage of the extended return over Xmas, and treat it as a trial. Thou I'm not sure how that works if these deliveries are postponed for much longer.
Likely order sometime in Dec, delivery & charged sometime Feb, customer returns have to be asked for within 2 weeks after delivery – 2 weeks being Apple's standard non-Xmas return window.
I'm getting tired of all this "available December" stuff. Why are we forced to check the website each and every day until Dec 29th so we can place an order. There is no grand unveiling here!! Give is a date or let us pre order!!!
Not that I'm buying the 5k- but yes I'm tired of the "coming xxx" too, Mac Pro coming late 2013, AirPods coming late October and other items like the 5k lg display. It really is a bad trend. Change it to last minute 2016!
Would also be curious to see how well the dual setups work - with two of the Lg/5k monitors running off one MBP. The specs indicate that this should work via any of the GPU options. But I've not come across any such reviews (or blogs) yet.
True. Why do these vloggers get early units if they don't even bother to tell viewers what specs the things do! Are you trying to tell me they are completely oblivious to the position they're in, as surely they have the brains to realise folks are crying out for information about them.
His is the only review I have seen on this display. It makes me wonder where he got it, or if he violated some kind of NDA by releasing this video so early.
... Which may be why there has been no follow-up review from the same source - Despite what must be a huge traffic/visitor upsurge to his v/log.
[doublepost=1481469318][/doublepost]Well if Apple wants its name associated with it they should also allow buyers to purchase applecare for the monitor. They bailed on their own displays, went into a strategic alliance with LG for a monitor "made for the macbook pro" to replace their own product and then abandoned its clients behind the "we did not make it, so if there is anything wrong go to the manufacturer, not us". Now there is a two-faced stamp of endorsement if I have ever seen one. Terrible behaviour by Apple.
And their complete inability to communicate when exactly the 5K display will be available is shameful. Particularly since its "on sale". It's on sale but you can't have it, and na na nanana we won't tell you when because we are the wonderful Apple Corporation. That, is not impressive either. It is not the old Apple of Steve Jobs that would bend over backward to right any wrong I tell you. The edge is gone.
Well, I
There is no launch in the U.S., or in Canada or anywhere. The "launch" is a joke.
