Thread 'The *COMPLETE* list of 27" 5K Displays?' - Content history

Formatted Raw

  • [July 2025]* This list follows the information format developed for the Retina 6K and 8K *complete* list threads. The OP's original May 2023 spreadsheet graphic has been retained for posterity. Note that the OP also included the DIY 5k Monitor - success :) mega thread. You, too, can make a Retina 5K display from your old iMac!

    * NOTE: Specifications are based on the manufacturer's claims. YMMV. In a few cases, they are derived from the panel manufacturer's specs. For example, the 89% Adobe RGB gamut provided for the Apple Studio Display comes from the specs for its LG Display panel, not directly from Apple.
