For a 32" 4k display, my guess is you're running at native 3840x2160 as the 1080p HiDPI would be comically large on a desk. Any display will have indiscernible pixels if you're far enough away from it what is on the screen must also be legible. Your review concludes that the display "meets Retina standards" which I think is a disservice to your readers, who might purchase this display and wonder why it doesn't look like the Retina displays in their MacBook or iMac. I think referring to Retina as "purely a marketing term" misses the point that Apple's "Retina" displays run in (or for OLED iPhones) HiDPI modes of base resolutions. My only complaint about the 4k is that I should have gotten a 5k instead but that is because I find the quality good enough that I don't need the multi-display setup that I was going for.Īndrew, at what resolution are you running this monitor? Like other 4K displays, I suspect that this display can be run at a native 3840x2160 resolution, a native HiDPI (1080p 2x), or scaled HiDPI resolutions in between. It does what it should do with great quality, and at 500 nits it has the brightness for me to really take advantage of the resolution without losing the clarity of tiny text. I have one of those UltraFines (a 4k), and there are definitely improvements that could be made to make it feel more in line with all my stuff from Apple but from a professional point of view (including programming, so dark mode-everything, and also several tiny terminal windows) there's really nothing to complain about. (Except the need for some people to have an Apple logo on everything.) Practically speaking that market is taken by those Apple-aware LG UltraFines so there's no longer a need that the market doesn't provide by itself. Apple really needs to produce a monitor below their Pro model.
