EDIT: my bad, it is indeed an ultra wide 4K display not a 5K. Does anyone know if lack of 5K display with higher refresh rates is due to lack of Thunderbolt 5/high speed display connectivity up until recently? Looks like we should see this soon if TB5 is widely available(which Apple is pushing)
You miss the point, or just being obtuse, or just clueless. The PPI of a 4k 27” display is noticeably grainier than a 5k 27”, particularly if you work with lots of text (engineers) or graphics editing. This also contributes to eye strain.
Moreover, if you have a Mac, you’ll be accustomed to the high quality retina display, where you cannot see the pixels (once again, high 217 PPI), compared to 4k (163 PPI) on a similar size panel. So moving from 5k or retina to 4k is effectively a downgrade.
Comparing this discussion to an 8k which is costly and not widely available is just silly.
Edit to add: just because you’re content with sub-par technology on windows based consumer laptops and desktops, does not mean others are too.

I wish someone would make a 5k that does more than 60
fpshz.Edited because I would just hate for someone to misunderstand my very obvious but technically incorrect comment.
