$8,000 and it only does 60Hz?! What were they thinking?

[perihelions]

You misread the article; this is a $2,000 product. An unrelated 32-inch 8k monitor from Asus is $8,000—it's mentioned in passing to disclaim that the LG isn't, technically, the highest-DPI monitor on the market.

Yes, but the Asus is $8k and it also only does 60Hz.

Apple’s Pro Display XDR, which this absolutely competes with, is also 60 Hz.

It’s $5000. Without a stand.

There are rumors there will be a new version soon. Perhaps we’ll get 120 Hz.

The refresh rate on these super high resolution monitors is not great.

$6K, if you want a comparable matte.

This monitor is not really for gaming; GPUs aren't powerful enough to drive 6K beyond 60 FPS.

For that matter, 6k @ 120 Hz is about 60 Gbps of video data. That's only barely within the limits of the fastest DisplayPort standards.

It's $2000

$2k

Bloody down-voters.

Yeah you looked at a different model. But it's still $8,799.00 and does indeed only do 60Hz.

> only do 60 hz

Just so you know 120 hz 10 bit without display stream compression for this will require almost 128 Gbps per second
