This has pixels the size of my hand, and it fully covers my field of view. Not my cup of tea.

What I do recommend (having bought one) is the Kuycon G32p, 32 inches @ 6K. Incredible quality and unbelievable value for money (https://clickclack.io/products/in-stock-kuycon-g32p-6k-32-in...).

This is 128 ppi, which would be considered "retina" at a viewing distance of 70cm (27in).

Are you really sitting 2 feet from a 52" monitor? I'd have to cutout a curve in the front of my desk to sit that close

I have the Apple 6K 32” Pro Display XDR and a Kuycon 5K 27”. Both are great. Apple was $6,500 and the Chinese version was $400 on EBay plus the $100 stand. Kuycon has more types of input, and a remote. Frame and display quality are on par for a dev.

If you just want 32 inches @ 6K there are cheaper options around, such as the ASUS ProArt PA32QCV: https://www.asus.com/us/displays-desktops/monitors/proart/pr... ASUS is a more well known brand. It doesn’t imitate the Apple aesthetic.

(It does seem like the resolution differs: 6016×3384 vs 6144×3456.)

For context - this 51" monitor has 22% less pixels than the 32" Apple Pro Display XDR.

16:9 60Hz kinda sucks though :/

Yes I realize the Pro Display XDR has those same specs. 16:10 or 3:2 120Hz or 144Hz would be ideal to me.

You must have really tiny hands considering the pixels are smaller that .2mm by .2mm

LG has a 6K 32 inch also, although a few hundred dollars more.

Those look like the monitors used on the F1 movie, which is strange, considering it was an Apple production and they maybe should have used apple monitors for product placement . I guess it is a testimony about Kuycon from Apple.

> pixels the size of my hand

Sometimes this is refreshing. (display joke there, heh)

this is a big monitor.

Many UIs don't scale particularly well with very high resolution. So you get UI elements with super-fine text or icons.

Some linux console fonts are almost unreadable with just 4k, though recent releases seem to be addressing this.

also old games.

for comparison, I think this is basically the dell 43" monitor with pixels on each side (16:9 -> 21:9)

the height of the panel is similar, the width is higher (plus curvature)

Is this a grey box replica of the Mac 32in? Because I’d interested if it is.

I wish they had an ultra wide with the higher resolution.

this looks like a rip off of another monitor that I can't quite put my finger on...
