Wow! Weird! That LG 5K UltraFine is looking a lot less ugly at that price point. Tempted.

Edit: Nope, that monitor is still hideous.

Hmmm…
It would appear the word got back to Apple about their user base not being happy about being taken advantage of just for being a loyal Mac user.
So much for our friends out there saying that the complainers should just shut up or leave because complaining won't do any good.
