I thought 4K was the resolution, not the price đź¤

This is exactly the reason why Apple is going mini LED.
After a more than a decade, OLED is still limited by brightness and relatively short life. You can only increase one by lowering the other with OLED.

How are they claiming HDR10 with 250 nits peak brightness?
You are what Apple makes one
3840x2160 is a proper resolution for a 21.5” display and nothing higher. I wish companies other than Apple understood PPI and scaling.
Everybody seems to be going bananas on this, but from what I read, this is a professional grade monitor for graphics use and is to be used in controlled lighting environment, fully calibrated for WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) to a printing/graphics world. Like we used to use from RasterOps or LaCie. I don't think this is meant as a daily hook up a MBP to it and do general stuff monitor. Just like when the new MacPro came out and the masses were flipping out over the price. It was meant to be used in a professional environment. At work, I have 3 Win machines (HP Z8 Workstations) $21K each and 3 Mac Pros at around $25K each connected to a video server via 10GB optical fiber with 750TB of storage for video editing. Our department has a number of people on graphics stations that have fully calibrated monitors test printing to Fiery printers.
HDR10 means it has a dynamic range with 10 bits of color. It doesn't tell you how much range it has. That's what VESA was trying to solve with their HDR400, HDR600, and HDR1000 certifications.
OLED is not worth the huge price premium. I would take my Dell U2720Q over it any day.
LG is selling this as some sort of 'true to life' display by calling the obvious OLED limitation a feature.
Hilarious.
Hilarious.

Even the LG 22" (which like the other early UltraFines was a quasi-official Apple monitor) was discontinued ages ago and replaced with a 24" with no-mans-land PPI (219 -> 186).
So yes, even companies who definitely knew how to do it properly for Macs have pretty much given up now. I guess the subtext is that there aren't enough potential customers who actually care either.

Huge bezels and 4k? Just make a 6k at that size, so that the PPI is the same as with Apple products.
I need more specs for $4k
I know it's OLED, but this is honestly worth about $1500-2000 max

Cutting corners with only 90w, when my $500 LG monitor has 96w just enough for the MBP 16. hmmmmm.....
It’s actually $1199 at microcenter. Is it worth getting the 55 inch for $125 more or will that decrease resolution?
I will be stunned if this thing even stays around a year.
It's compelling to almost nobody at this price.

me crying at the price!
HRD10, 4K at 32" should NOT be this expensive. Period. It's not even a 38300R curved. Moreoever JUST 60Hz refresh rate?! RIDICULOUS.
Absolutely should have been at least 120Hz at this price, and yes I know it's focused at creative work.
