yes, there is no problem with macOS scaling 2x to either 6K resolution but there is a bug in macOS where DSC is not working with 6144 x 3456 resolution and DP1.4 connection. That means when you use DP1.4 port you can't get HDR but also (and this could be even more important for someone) you can't get full 6144 x 3456 resolution in RGB 4:4:4 mode. Only 4:2:2 chroma subsampling is available. Which is ok for movies/games but is not very good for some text and small color details.
Got a tip for us?

@PaulD-UK -- the service manual for the LG 6K is downloadable (use Chrome -- the PDF download doesn't work in Safari), it shows the panel is LM315STA-SSB1 ...
Safari is working, you only have to rename the downloaded document to *.pdf
Soooo tempted by the LG. But I really want to know what Apple is coming out within the 32”+ space first. Come on, leaks!
LG 32U990A-S 32” 6K at Best Buy Canada (no stock) for CA$2699.99 (US$1937).
Like in the US, no taxes are included in advertised retail pricing, partially because the taxes vary from province to province (5% - 15%).
As previously discussed, at that price for the LG, the Asus and Acer are becoming more attractive.
Best Buy USA has it listed for $1299, sold by Best Buy (not some third party). It's been listed there at that price for over a week now. No stock yet though.

So, we've gone from $1199 to $1299 to $1399 and now back to $1299?
It's still listed at $1399 on Asus' own website though. 🤔
I guess I’m back to waiting:

You’re waiting on 2 rumored 27” 5K Apple Studio Displays in a thread about 32” 6K displays? 🤔I guess I’m back to waiting:

Nobody really knows what these monitors are going to be. I’m hoping for a new 32 inch model or higher one, but speaking about rumours:
I can’t even find the Asus 6K and it’s supposedly out. If whatever Apple announces it’s not good for me I’ll probably get another brand discounted.

Gurman can be rather unprofessional (trained historians and journalists don’t make these kinds of “own goal” mistakes) as he mashes information from different sources together to create a coherent narrative. We saw this with his erroneous conclusion about Hidra, and now he may be trying to force the square peg “J527” into the round hole of the rumor that Apple has two displays in the works for the first half of 2026.
I think it’s possible Apple could have a Studio Display (5K) and Studio Display Plus (6K) in the works. But probably it’s more likely that the two displays are a 5K Studio Display refresh and a 6K Pro Display refresh. J527 is probably something else, a prototype of a future hybrid tandem OLED 5K 120Hz “Studio Display Pro.” Not something due to launch in 2026.

I agree with your theory, because it would also fit with Samsung presenting a 5K 27" OLED panel in the form of a monitor at Display Week or CES.
Do we have stats on the minimum heights of these 32" 6K monitors? I prefer shorter monitors.
Below is a list of some minimum heights. The first number is the minimum height. The second is the screen diagonal size.
18.1" - 23.5" 16:9 Apple iMac
18.8" - 27.0" 16:9 Apple Studio Display
19.2" - 32.0" 16:9 Asus ProArt PA329CV
19.2" - 31.5" 16:9 LG 32UP83AK-W
19.3" - 28.2" 3:2 Huawei MateView
20.3" - 27.0" 16:9 Apple 27" iMac (but it has a tall top bezel)
20.6" - 32.0" 16:9 Dell UltraSharp 32 6K U3224KB (but it has a tall top bezel)
21.0" - 32.0" 16:9 Apple Pro Display XDR
This bodes well for the Asus 6K and LG 6K monitors, but I don't know for sure as I don't have minimum height specs for those.
Mine is the 28.2" Huawei which has a very small bezel so the top of the viewable screen is at about 19". I actually find that already on the tall size, but I can work with it.

I always measured the top edge of the monitor. (Was that correct?)

Thx.
BTW, my table may have been a bit confusing, with the first measurement being the minimum height and the second being the screen size (not the maximum height). I have updated the post accordingly.

Gurman is really just guessing at this point, he now states 2 new monitors but refuses to accept one will be a Pro Display XDR? What is Apple going to do? Launch a more advanced Mini LED Studio Display 5K that walks all over the 6K Pro Display XDR for less than half the price?
No, I think Apple will update BOTH size monitors at the same time. Although give me a 32” Studio Display ANY day of the week!
Google's machine translated audio track is very poor. It even translated "static images" to "sexually explicit productions"! 😳

The LG apparently doesn’t ship until Oct. 20.
BTW, there was 1 available for back order at Best Buy Canada yesterday, but that is gone now.

New Pro Display XDR in the pipeline. Early 2026?

Upgraded Pro Display XDR with webcam hinted at in macOS 26.1 beta 3 | AppleInsider
Apple could finally be nearing an update to its 2019 Pro Display XDR, and while rumors are basically non-existent, new code in macOS Tahoe suggests a built-in webcam could be coming.
