I got the Kuycon G32P and it’s an incredible alternative. 32in + 6K for less than 2k$

Also works great with other sources like an Xbox

I used a Pro Display XDR as my daily driver at work and the difference is minimal

I'm really after higher refresh rate than 60, but it seems it would cost me an arm, leg, both kidneys and my newborns to get it at 5k or more resolution.

Take a look at: "AOC AGP277KX" OR "LG 27GM950B", both can do 5k @ 165 Hz

I own this as well and while I appreciably the levelized cost, there is simply zero comparison to my gen 1 Studio Display. The gloss and shin on the Kuycon means it only works in dimmly lit rooms.

Nano texture in mixed lighting scenarios is worth every penny even on a lower resolution and lower refresh rate panel.

Do you own the matte display version or the default one?

The matte. It's offensive.

They sell a matte version, the G32X.

That's a hefty premium to pay to not also have high refresh or high nits but the higher density options are so thin there's not really much else to go for if getting the resolution density is the goal.

Hah, the absolute shamelessness of that design and the site is crazy!

I can attest to the greatness of the Kuycon G32P; <1.5k€ in my case.

I've been holding off as there are no resellers in New Zealand, but I might take the risk of lack of warranty and support and buy it from AliExpress....

only 1/4th the brightness
