I still prefer my two LG 5K's as the image quality is astoundingly sharp for external displays. And they work pretty well now with my maxed-out 2016 15" MBP. Few niggles are there, but the core job of displaying images is great.
But sure, some users may like the bigger screen here, even though it won't show as much at a time on it.
As for widescreen 5K ...come back in 18-24 months time, when the connection standards may have improved. Then another 24 months for 8K screen connection standards. A LOT of catching up has to happen here first, before these type if displays will be able to be released en masse. Haha!

I'd be interested in how this compares to the BenQ PV3200PT which cost $300 more but has similar specs.
Also, as mentioned 4K is 4096, UHD is 3840.

I would buy one if my keyboard was convex so it would fit between the legs. Actually I'll just get a vesa mount so I can, oh, wait...
No it isn't. Please stop confusing people. And the idiocy that can't figure out that "3840" rounds-up to the round number 4000, while "4096" just happens to have a 4 in the front.
The official naming scheme selected by the Consumer Electronics Association is as follows:
"4K UHD" = 3840×2160 = 1.78:1 (16:9)
"8K UHD" = 7680×4320 = 1.78:1 (16:9)
"DCI 4K" or "Widescreen 4K" = 4096×2160 = 1.90:1 (17:9)
"DCI 8K" or "Widescreen 8K" =8192×4320 = 1.90:1 (17:9)
Thanks.

I have a 40 inch Samsung on my PC that is a fairly nice 4k. It was about $700 refurbished about a year or 2 ago. I had to upgrade my video card to one that cost about $150 to run it. Only problem is that I have to use the remote to turn it on when it goes to sleep mode. Spreadsheets are huge on the thing but I have plenty of room for multiple items I work between at the same time.
Because Apple either wasn't really planning on permanently exiting the display business or they were hedging their bets n case they decided to reverse course and get back in. LG was certainly capable of producing something less pedestrian looking. Apple may have wanted them to do something that wouldn't end up being competition.

Pretty much what I said in more generic terms.
I guess everyone I know in video production who called 1080P 'HD' and 2048 '2K' were all idiots too.
HD(1920) x 2 = UHD(3840)

There is no new anything. There were zero changes other than to the store database that controls the prices and configuration options. It's incredible to me how thoroughly Apple scammed people.
Much much better. This is a great looking display.
Then again, with no webcam and speakers and TB3 ... it's still a toss up for me.
