It'd be great if Samsung did these deals outside of their US store. This monitor is still full price (£1271 on the UK site). If Samsung had it for £715 (the same proportional discount as in this advert) then I'd buy one right now, probably more than one as we could do with some new monitors for a few people in the office. But I'm not paying the 'full price' when I know Samsung are selling it for almost half price regularly in other markets.
My holy grail size for 5K 16:9 is in the 29-30" range, although I'd take a 32" too.
27" 5K = 218 ppi, Retina at 15.80" 29" 5K = 203 ppi, Retina at 16.97" 30" 5K = 196 ppi, Retina at 17.56" 32" 5K = 184 ppi, Retina at 18.73"
Ergonomic guidelines recommend a minimum 20" seating distance for a desktop monitor, so all of these meet that criteria for Retina.
If we are on the topic of holy grail give me 4:3 aspect ratio or at the very least 16:10 like Macbook Pros. I remember one day walking into a Microsoft store and playing around with the Surface Studio(28" 192PPI 4:3) and it blew the 27" 5K iMac away yet was only a 1" larger. The iMac felt so cramped using it compared to that glorious IMAX aspect ratio in a monitor. Holy grail for me would be the 32" Apple XDR at 4:3.
lol, I mean we laughed our asses off the last time they offered such a steep discount but now I'm starting to feel really bad for the people who bought it for the initial price.
I end up having to use scaling as I find the default point sizes Apple has blessed as “correct” for retina at various screen sizes to be too small as I’ve gotten older.
On a 15” class laptop for instance I still run and prefer 1440x900 (or equivalent if on a NotchBook)
On a 32” monitor I prefer 2560x1440-ish, but could always enjoy more pixels than 4k/32” provides
