LOL that's not how Nits work.

Lights don't dim because you get closer to it.

You're the one who said that monitors need to be 8,000 nits. I explained that it's not so because monitors are designed for a much closer viewing distance and different viewing applications. We look at very large expanses of white on computer monitors, which is typically the peak brightness, and 8,000 nits would be blinding, much less 800 nits, or even 500. Such extreme HDR would only be needed if you were editing HDR video content, and typically you just attach an HDR TV set via HDMI and use it as your preview display. Much less expensive and more effective.

lol, again, no that's not how nits work.

You can have 8000 nits on the headset display an inch from your eye, and it won't look any brighter than the 8000 nits 20 feet away.

But... this monitor was "announced" back in January, and here we are in September and might finally get an actual price on it, which honestly has not given me a good impression of this device or LG as a company. I don't want to be told about your new great product then nine months later still be waiting to even find out what it costs let alone see something other than an (inconsistent) render.

It's caused me to be a lot more skeptical about what LG is promising than I would have been if it had been ready to ship within a few weeks of being announced, or even if they'd given a price on the dang thing.

More and more companies are doing it now unfortunately, including Apple. They urge to show nonexisting product and then take 6-12 months to deliver it (or not deliver it at all, we are looking at you, Apple AI).

? This happens every single year with these types of products, mainly because some of the industry conferences are at that time. I think the difference this year is that Mac users actually want this product so they paid attention this time.

Can you please point me to the 6K 120HZ displays?

8K TVs

Also while the pixel density is impressive, the 60Hz (I know there are no better alternatives but this being a new product it could have raised the bar) and low brightness = deal breaker for me
