Apple's LG UltraFine 5K Display Now Available for Purchase for $974 [Updated]

[tuc]

What I wonder is if the LG UltraFine 5K Display supports Displayport 1.3.

The current MacBookPro can drive it with a single Thunderbolt 3 cable by sending two Displayport 1.2 streams, which the monitor stitches together. I understand that.

But, given a future computer that supports Displayport 1.3, can that computer drive this 5K monitor with a single Displayport 1.3 stream?

$1000 for that ugly, overpriced monitor with poor build quality. Get Tim out of there.

Your comment about the build quality... Are you unhappy with yours? How long have you owned it?

Didn't show up for me as available on the US website...but did show up as orderable within the iOS app. Go figure.

Agree. It's LG's display.

Apple had input as to the 2016 MBP features the display would support; i.e. handling display control data from the MBP, audio from the MBP to the display, web camera video from the display to the MBP, MBP charging via the display.

Don't like the bezels? Take it up with LG.

Yes that would mean it's codeveloped. I am talking about the design but rather components and features.

They're glossy displays,

If you have an iPhone try using LTE if its not working on your home/work wifi.

6-8 weeks, jeez

Yep, just past the return period for the earliest MBP buyers.

Nice price for a panel of that size and quality. Why they had to make it so ugly is beyond me.

Give it a rest already. You don't look at the frame, you look at the picture.

The appearance isn't everything with this monitor. I was talking about the components, features, and software integration.

Very true but it's so boring aesthetically, I've no doubt the display is great but surely Apple didn't give any input on aesthetics.

 

[Brookzy]

Did they pull the trigger too early?

 

[TazmoStarkana]

Why in the **** is the shipping time 6-8 weeks. I ****ing hate apple. This marks my damn blood boil

 

[naujoks]

Haha! Haha! How much for which size? How ugly is it?

It has better ergonomics than the thunderbolt display due to a height adjustable stand. It's likely that this one is also superior in other areas, but you'll have to wait for tests to determine that. That aside, I suggest you spread nonsense somewhere else. Trolling accounts are quite obvious.

 

[TazmoStarkana]

And now the struggle begins... waiting... ****ing apple

Because it was codeveloped with Apple. LG wouldn't have made anything like this if Apple weren't involved. I'm not talking about design, I'm talking about the panel, audio, USB-C only, camera, software integration, components, etc.

Well shame on Apple for helping to develop such an ugly as f*** display. No cable management! WTF! Top border is larger then bottom.

 

[Chrjy]

...but customers who make a purchase before the end of 2016 will be able to get the display for $974 instead of $1,299.

Take the 4 off the end ($97) and I may consider it after some very careful thought......Still 'No'

 

[bladerunner2000]

While all of you are complaining about the most ridiculous non-issue (aesthetics), I'm sitting here waiting for a proper 24" IPS panel @ 144hz.

Yeah you're right, I love owning **** looking products!

We sold the most amount of MacBook pros we have ever sold. We are now selling hundreds of thousands of these monitors. We only made 25 MacBook pros though, and 16 monitors.

ORDER NOW, GET YOURS TODAY.*

*Shipping 9/23/2017 through 9/29/2017


You are OFFICIALLY paying apple for NOTHING. You are getting literally no product. Just a promise of eventually getting something.

 

[ppdix]

Can someone please tell me if this monitor will work with a 2015 iMac 5K? I can't seem to get a straight answer anywhere. Thanks in advance!

No, it won't.

What cable management? For one cable? All communications between the MBP and display (display data from the MBP, display control from the MBP, audio from the MBP to the display, web camera video from the display to the MBP, and MBP charging from the display) is transmitted over a SINGLE (one) cable.

The display itself and bezels are LG's.

 

[Yojimbo007]

Why not just call it LG's display?

Exactly..
there is no Apple logo or Any Hint of Apple design theme there...

p.s. big mistake by Apple to approach monitors in such a secondary way..
reducing logo visibility at the high end.

 

[pshifrin]

Any thoughts on how this will run with the Iris 550 on the 13 inch? Currently have one plugged into a Dell 24inch 4k Display using a usb-c to display port cable and performance is excellent at 1920x1080 HiDPI 60hz.

 

[gugy]

This monitor is hideous and honestly I lost faith Apple will bring an Apple display now. Unless Apple surprise us in the next 6 months with a MacPro upgrade. it look quite obvious they are dropping the desktops and maybe only sticking with the iMac. We'll see. Sad times.

 

[macduke]

Might as well get a 5K iMac which doesn't look like a dog turd. The next iMac will have Thunderbolt 3 which can handle 5K over target display mode. That is, assuming there will eventually be another iMac, lol.

 

[theBigD23]

Looks like it's sold out.
