Are there any PC screens that can compete with the 5K iMac retina display? I've literally never seen better brightness and color depth.

Apple internals are shit but their panels are beautiful, I don't want to one just for the display.

>>59874340
get the LG 5K display or dell 8K.

>LG 5K display
Stop.

>>59874433
Apple itself recommends it and cut off their Cinema Displays from the lineup to market it instead

>>59874362
I just looked up the 5K and what the fuck? It's only got thunderbolt and USB-C ports. It's useless as a PC monitor

The LG 5K display has hardware issues though
Apple might release new displays along with the new Mac Pro later next year.

I notice that the price on the Dell is conveniently covered by the 10bit graphic. Could that be because that Dell panel alone literally cost more upon release than the 5K iMac?

Had. Had hardware issues. What happened with the LG UltraFine was extremely stupid and embarrassing, but let's be fair here: the issue has been addressed.

Those are just about the only standards that can push 5K properly.

you do realize it's a Mac-only display?
>System Requirements

>Connection: Thunderbolt 3–enabled Mac
it doesn't even have any OSD controls as you are supposed to do that in macOS.

a 2015 mbp can only drive it at 4k even with the right adapters.
for HDMI to drive 5k, you would need 2.1 that was just published in Jan 2017. there are prolly no PCs or adapters yet.

>I don't want to one just for the display.
4k and 5k iMacs don't support target display mode, so you can't use them just as a display.
need to wait for new iMacs that have TB3, then there should be enough bandwidth available for target display mode.

Just build your own.
