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

  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.

  It's $2000

  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.

    > It’s $5000. Without a stand. $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.

      Thunderbolt 5 can use 3 lanes for a total of 120 gbps.

  Bloody down-voters. Yeah you looked at a different model. But it's still $8,799.00 and does indeed only do 60Hz. https://www.asus.com/us/displays-desktops/monitors/proart/proart-display-8k-pa32kcx/techspec/ https://www.asus.com/us/displays-desktops/monitors/proart/pr...

    > 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 Doesn’t exist yet
