Yeah. It’s been a long wait with no end in sight. It seems like all monitor manufacturers care about are gamers or media consumers with their high refresh rate low res displays :-(

I wish for an iMac display without the Mac… to be used as a dumb monitor. I’m going to pull the trigger on the studio display Apple released yesterday after reading initial reviews.

I agree, I would really like an ultrawide monitor but they all seem to be 1440p max. The resolution to me looks pretty terrible after years of retina or 4k monitors.

There are 2160p (5K rather than 4K, because aspect ratio) ultrawides, e.g.:

At $1500, I think I'd prefer to buy the new 5K monitor that Apple just announced for that same price.

I was hoping for a more affordable 6K 32 (or 30) inch monitor but I'm afraid that won't happen anytime soon.
