LG Introduces New Ultrafine 5K Display

LG Electronics (LG) today introduced a new 27-inch UltraFineTM 5K Display (model 27MD5KL) which, along with the company's 24-inch UltraFine 4K Display (model 24MD4KL), gives consumers two high-quality monitors that are designed specifically for the latest Apple products.

LG's UltraFine displays deliver amazing image quality when connected to a Mac or iPad Pro. Designed to enhance productivity, the LG UltraFine 5K delivers powerful all-around performance and the latest connectivity options. With Thunderbolt 3 and USB Type-C support, the monitor is an ideal companion for the latest Mac notebooks and desktops, as well as iPad Pro. LG's 5K monitor allows users to configure a versatile Mac workstation with video, audio and data transfer through a single cable. And thanks to 94 watts of power, the UltraFine 5K can also charge any USB-C compliant host such as Mac or iPad.
Designed to meet the needs of creative designers, photographers and videographers, LG UltraFine 5K is a superior wide-screen solution that delivers precise detail and color. It boasts P3 wide color gamut and 500-nit brightness for optimized images, no calibration required. The monitor's 218 pixels per inch (PPI) results in more than 14.7 million pixels that render incredibly lifelike images and razor-sharp text for viewing multiple windows and tools simultaneously. The built-in camera, microphone, and stereo speakers provide a rich multimedia experience.

LG UltraFine 5K is designed for next-level convenience, with adjustable height and tilt for maximum user comfort. Compatibility with macOS Mojave 10.14.6 and iOS 12.4 enables users to control brightness and volume directly from the Touch Bar or keyboard on MacBook Pro. And the monitor's ambient light sensor automatically adjusts screen brightness when connected to a Mac.

With the LG UltraFine 4K monitor with 23.7-inch screen, which is ten percent larger than the previous version, users can experience similarly realistic colors and the full coverage of the P3 wide color gamut and 500-nit brightness. The monitor's quality build and design and easy connectivity give users maximum ability to explore their creativity. With a Mac, the Thunderbolt 3 ports can be used to daisy chain two 4K displays.

"The first LG UltraFine series was well received by creative professionals for its exceptional performance and convenience," said Jang Ik-hwan, head of LG's IT business division. "Ease of use, seamless integration, and stunning screen quality make LG UltraFine monitors a great choice for Apple users."

LG UltraFine 5K is now available at apple.com and select Apple Stores.

xorbeThis here, I have to agree with this. There's just no replacement for AA until ridiculous levels of extra pixels. It's related to audio filtering vs ringing, except in the visual domain.
Wouldn't you agree 4k on a phone is already in that ridiculous territory?

bugMake up your mind ;)
There are certain things you do notice and things you don't when you have higher pixel density, that's my point. Hence the addendum.
AquinusWhat you probably won't see is if I made it two pixels wide instead of 1.

Fair enough. So you do agree with me that at least some things are already unnoticeable. Thus, the day when all things will become unnoticeable and we can do away with AA is coming. (Of course, good luck finding a card to push all those pixels in the next 5 years, but that's another story.)

The tired and ignorant lines about PC users being poor and/or cheap are exactly that and are as old and ignorant as the tired lines about how Apple users are wealthy and pound-foolish people, who don't know anything about computers. They also say more about you than you realize.

Of course. It would be dumb to say that we can perceive every pixel regardless of its state, that's absurd.

We could have 16k and I still don't think it would eliminate the need for AA. We might not need 8 samples (because more than 2 or 4 and you won't notice it,) but it will still be useful. Edges can still be too sharp on a high resolution display because of how the scene is rendered. We might need less of it, but if 4k is any indicator, it won't work that way.

I'm sure that professional developers know nothing about computers. :kookoo:

Seems like it. My Pixel 2 has 1920x1080 on a 5", and it is really sharp.
