Via TFTCentral:
27″ sized IPS Black panel with a 5K resolution and Mini LED backlight – This panel has a 5120 x 2880 resolution giving a very high pixel density of 218 PPI. Whether or not this is really needed when we already have high density 4K panels in this size is questionable in our opinion, although for professional work, it’s perhaps desirable to improve that further. The more interesting element to this new panel for us is that it will be based on LG.Display’s IPS Black technology and paired with a high-end Mini LED backlight. The Mini LED backlight is expected to have 1560 dimming zones which should offer impressive levels of control and dimming. Considering that the first generation of FALD backlights in this screen size had 384 zones when first released, this is a massive improvement. HDR1000 support is listed along with a 98% DCI-P3 colour gamut. This panel is only in planning stage at the moment with production penciled in for H1 2024 but very much TBC

It would be completely unsurprising if that ends up being the successor panel to the eventual upgraded Apple Studio Display, and/or possible future iMac's.
 
I'm ready to spend money on this like yesterday. I hope they're on track to produce it.
