Worthy companion, my ass. The display have a limited colorspace. They can't do full, or even close to full, Adobe RGB 1998. I would have bought a new monitor since the one I am using is aging. These are useless to me...
I simply cannot understand why LG did not cooperate with Apple on the design of this monitor, which was clearly meant for Macs. Jony Ive could have designed something better on his lunch break.
i come here for editorial content, poster analysis, etc. This is a bit puffWhy is that a problem exactly? I come here because I like the site. I come here for no cost, not paid a cent since joining. The odd ad isn't a problem. In fact I wouldn’t even bat an eyelid if they doubled the number of ads.
What I would love to know is:
- Will future iMacs be able to use this at full resolution with one cable
- Will future iMacs be able to be used as second displays (target display mode)
I think since so much of the Apple thing is brand participation, not having an apple monitor lowers consumer enthusiasm. Fanbois want their set ups to apple-tastic, and who can blame them?I think we can at least all agree that Steve is rolling in his grave at the sight of this plastic monitor.

At least their phones didn't explode?????? Dood.... you just proved my point !!! When i say "as it used to be" you aren't going back far enough. They've made more mistakes THIS YEAR than on your 10 year long list.
Most of what you list are problems or manufacturing issues. Not MISTAKES. Not mis-steps. Not being completely clueless and user hostile. YOU said "perfect" not me. Not it wasn't perfect. But it was 1000X better than is now.
Looks like a great display. Now how about an updated Mac Mini or Mac Pro that can drive one?![]()
Some do. Some don't.I think since so much of the Apple thing is brand participation, not having an apple monitor lowers consumer enthusiasm. Fanbois want their set ups to apple-tastic, and who can blame them?
Can't say I'm digging the un-evenness of the bezel being larger on the top side than the bottom. Symmetry is wonderful.
This reads like a paid advertisement more so than an actual review.
Not at all. You really should go look at one before you say that. Text resolution is far better on this than the same size, but lower resolution Apple Thunderbolt Display.5K resolution on a screen this small is a total waste of technology.
Why would you say that? When running in Retina mode, the review says that the sharpness due to the pixel doubling is unmistakable when compared to the Apple Thunderbolt display sitting next to it.5K resolution on a screen this small is a total waste of technology.
I had to go the other way with my iMac. I had to buy a VESA adapter and mount so that I could lower the iMac closer to my desk, in order to be more ergonomic. I wish Apple would make their products more adjustable without having to spend a lot for accessories.At least it's adjustable, everyone here with an iMac or Thunderbolt Display has a stack of books under them.
