Display Options?

[CaptRB]

I've ordered a Mac Studio and am now considering options for a display.

While Apple's display looks nice and I can afford what I want, I'm not crazy. 1599 for a 27" monitor doesn't make a lot of sense to me and then it's 2K as soon as I want height adjustment? That's a bit offensive, even for apple.

I've been using a Dell 4K P2715Q 27" with my 2017 iMac with very good results and I could just buy a second one and call it a day. I do some photography work and light video editing. But I do like a nice display! So what are good suggestions for 27" and 32" monitors that will work well with the new Mac Studio?

Be fair when talking about the price of the Studio display since it’s a 5K display. So many are quick to compare price to a 4K display.

It's the height adjustment add-on that feels redonkulous and total price gouging. I'd have considered it if not for that. 400 dollars for what really should be a standard feature.
Apple won't get my money on that little item.

If you share the monitor with someone else, that's understandable. If you only use it yourself, you can always place it on a riser. Unlike most monitors with hight adjustment, it doesn't wobble when you type.

It's 20% brighter than the 5K iMac screen, has wider viewing angles, and better dynamic range.
