...and as if by magic!@jclo - for the last two hours it appears not to be on sale anymore in any country. Might be useful to add an update to the article?![]()
just a question. Why is everyone ordering this monitor - meaning what is the end use? From what i can gather, it won't be ideal for critical calibration (no self calibration, only 14.7 million colors, doesn't say what % of Adobe RGB sRGB, etc). Is it just because it is 5K and 27 inch? Just seems a bit much for what it is.
Then maybe the product logo should include both the "LG" and Apple symbols. Would that be a first in product branding?
If you work in open office space like I do, all other people around (including clients) just see the frame. Sure, for an isolated studio I wouldn't care what it looks like.

Yep, I added an update. Sorry for the delay -- I couldn't tell if it was removed or if it was the same caching issue some people had been seeing. In the future, please feel free to shoot me an email if I'm slacking on an update or am missing crucial info. It's juli@macrumors.com.
This line, one that has been repeated in other articles, is striking to me. Hard to see what is even remotely Apple like about this display. I'm sure it's an okay display, but it certainly doesn't seem to fit in with Apple's style. Disappointing really that this is "Apple's option".
Nice price for a panel of that size and quality. Why they had to make it so ugly is beyond me.
"Codeveloped" in what way? I think what you mean is "co-marketed."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.
I can't envision how Jony Ive could recommend this with a straight face to a Mac user saying this is the future of displays and to forget about the sexy Cinema Display. Can anyone?

I love owning practical products even more. Perhaps you could get your vanity checked out?
That top eye brow cannot be unseen
I realise there's a camera up there, but what's with that large forehead?
Id rather buy a 55" samsung ks8000 for the same price
There was something wrong with Jobs, too. It killed him. There's something wrong with you, me, and everyone else, for that matter.The display is fine but there is something wrong with Cook.
You may be stunned to learn there are people on macrumors who already own or intend to buy just such a machine!Not such a nice price when you consider that in order to use it you have to also buy a new computer with Thunderbolt 3.
That bezel. That tiny base. WTF? Who is going to willingly put that on their desks? No thanks, bigger, faster, more beautiful panels are already available from other manufacturers and while 5K in such a small package is nice, it's wasted IMO unless you're a edge-of-your seat typist or something.
