If the LG 6K does get released in September, I suspect it may be available only at very near full retail price. In that case, I’d consider waiting until Black Friday for a sale here in Canada. And if there is no good deal on Black Friday, then maybe Boxing Day.

However, I don’t know what LG’s usual pricing practices are with very recent new releases on Black Friday and Boxing Day.
In 2016 the rollout of the LG 5K was pretty bumpy. So waiting a few months might not be the worst idea. But that product launch in 2016 was very unusual -- don't forget they had a retail partnership with Apple (now that news made the LG Newsroom!). I don't think LG was fully prepared for the level of scrutiny that Apple is subjected to -- there was an adjustment period. No doubt they learned from that experience.

Note: In adding Taobao.com links for the Chinese companies, I came across this listing for a high-end Geekon 6K display yet to be unveiled (the graphic says it will be "seen at the end of July"), ¥11499

Geekon H32 (Hero Series)
Panel: 32" - 6144x3456 - 1600/2000 nits

Now it's up (same link as above):
Here's the entry so far:

Geekon HERO 32 (Hero 超凡 series)
Panel: Quant IPS (four-side LED backlight) - 31.5" - 6144x3456 - 223 ppi - 1600/2000 nits - 2000:1 contrast
Color: 10-bit depth - 100% DCI-P3 - 100% sRGB - 100% Adobe RGB
I/O: USB-C (100W), 2x USB-A 3.2, 2x DisplayPort 1.4, 2x HDMI 2.1
## 3.5mm audio out
Geekon Creative Studio site (not yet listed as of August 1)
Taobao.com official store (log in to see all products): ¥14999

"Quant IPS" is similar to LG Display's "Nano IPS" (in the Kuycon G32P, for example) -- it refers a "Quantum Dot" ATW polarizer on the backlight.

The Hero series ("超凡" in Chinese, something like "otherworldly" or "extraordinary") will also have a 27" Retina 5K, a 24" 4K (~183 ppi), and a 28" 4500x3000 (~193 ppi). For now, the only one with any details is the HERO 32 Retina 6K. Note the following text, which probably means they are all BOE panels [?]: 国货旗舰 "Flagship Domestic Product" and 来自中国的超级旗舰, something like "Original Chinese Excellence" (literally "superior flagship originating from China"):

Wow. That 28" 4.5K 3:2 monitor at 193 ppi is intriguing. Even better though would be a 30.4" 5K 5120x2880 version of the panel with that same 193 ppi pixel density.
 
“That 28" 4.5K 3:2 monitor at 193 ppi is intriguing.”

That’s the resolution of the original Microsoft Surface Studio 1.
The tilting desktop form factor still has its following.
There’s a DIY monitor conversion kit to reuse the original LG panel.

Looks like Asus 6K is imminent... in the US, they've added "Buy" buttons to the product pages, but they don't seem to work yet (for me at least).
