Possible I'm doing something wrong? Calibration? Etc...
 
Ok. So sort of answering my own question -

Seems it's now LG new collab or others
 
I'd look at Eizo, NEC or BenQ if you are serious about colour accurate monitors.
Apple stopped doing professional monitors years ago.

BENQ looks like it has a a nice monitor incoming.

Was checking the 5k Lg but will not translate to 5k on my MBP.
 
The SW271? Get 20 delivered on Tuesday!
