the monitor market is so deeply unserious 

it's crazy to me that no one has ever made a good 5k screen outside of Apple (or LG, as forced to by apple)

the market is wrong

there should be several high-quality options for 27-32” monitors with 6-8k resolution, decent HDR performance, and wide gamut P3/A98 coverage

figuring out my next thing | marketing, content, growth | prev. Juicebox, Nouns, RAW DAO | casting about coffee, hi-fi, and other rabbit holes

perhaps our only hope

eh, agreed on refresh rate but 32” at 4k isn’t good enough. needs to be 6k or 8k. 27” at 4k is passable though.

alienware also not viable due to design, we need products for offices and professionals not gamers.

Last year for the first time we actually got 4K OLED high framerate monitors (like the Alienware AW3225QF, they all came out within a few months of each other). I don't think it's a "the market" situation so much as there are challenges/tradeoffs that we're still tackling.

Personally I'd take a 4K120-240hz over a 6K60hz any day. Being stuck with 60hz in 2025 is barbaric.
