I’m personally considering the 5K 27” 27GM950B from LG, but I’m hesitant and wonder if I should save the disappointment or inevitable and just spring for the Studio Display XDR. But its quite a jump and I don’t get paid for coding like that anymore so it’s harder to justify now, hah.

However, as another commenter mentioned in the thread it seems like nearly every non-Apple monitor has some sort of negative compromise outside of port selection.

That being said $700 is a steal for that monitor easily and the price overcomes a lot of possible downsides (at least for me it would).
