I got excited and clicked the link expecting to see a fancy new display of the same quality as Apple but cheaper. So disappointed.

Same. I was looking for an affordable 5k 32" monitor that can actually do 2X scaling properly. A neat tool, but not what "Mac Monitor" brings to mind for me.

> do 2X scaling properly

What do you mean by this? If you're looking for clean pixel doubling/nearest neighbour scaling AMD, NVidia and Intel all support it on the GPU now with driver settings on Windows, but sadly I don't know of any monitors that will do it and I'm not sure what driver support is like on mac.

With usable screen space. Pixel doubling on a 4k 32” display leaves you with just 1080p effective resolution. Everything is way too big. It would be fine at 24”, but it’s not useful at 32”. At 32” I want 1440p at least.

In red!

Could have been from the same company that makes the cameras.
