This has pixels the size of my hand, and it fully covers my field of view. Not my cup of tea.

What I do recommend (having bought one) is the Kuycon G32p, 32 inches @ 6K. Incredible quality and unbelievable value for money (https://clickclack.io/products/in-stock-kuycon-g32p-6k-32-in...).

This is 128 ppi, which would be considered "retina" at a viewing distance of 70cm (27in).

Are you really sitting 2 feet from a 52" monitor? I'd have to cutout a curve in the front of my desk to sit that close

Curves in the front of desks is a thing.

I have the Apple 6K 32” Pro Display XDR and a Kuycon 5K 27”. Both are great. Apple was $6,500 and the Chinese version was $400 on EBay plus the $100 stand. Kuycon has more types of input, and a remote. Frame and display quality are on par for a dev.

$400 where? The cheapest I've seen the kuycon 5k is $800 before shipping, and the QA has been hit and miss with users having to pay to ship it back.

It's not to say it's a bad option, but it's definitely not $400 out the door.

Ebay so likely used.

M4R5H4LL 4 hours ago | parent [-]

yes, someone got it from a family member, and had no use for it, and sold it to me as is. It was brand new, unopened and in original packaging.

zipy124 8 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-]

They aren't even close in comparison? Like 600 nits brightness vs 1000 (1600 peak) for one. Contrast ratios are very very different. It only supports HDR600. They are very different displays in person. Perhaps at low brightness on text they are similar, but outside of that they really aren't very similar.

piskov 4 hours ago | parent [-]

Developers mostly care about text resolution, so anything 220+ is great

M4R5H4LL 4 hours ago | parent [-]

yes, I couldn't tell the difference. What matters to me is to not see the pixels, and the size of the canvas. I am running the XDR at 60% brightness.

Reviews are saying the Asus has an aggressively matte display, causing the text to look a little blurry.

kccqzy 10 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-]

If you just want 32 inches @ 6K there are cheaper options around, such as the ASUS ProArt PA32QCV: https://www.asus.com/us/displays-desktops/monitors/proart/pr... ASUS is a more well known brand. It doesn’t imitate the Apple aesthetic.

(It does seem like the resolution differs: 6016×3384 vs 6144×3456.)

For context - this 51" monitor has 22% less pixels than the 32" Apple Pro Display XDR.

good deal considering it's much smaller and twice the price

wmf 6 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-]

Not really. The Dell is 6144x2560 @ 1x while the Apple is effectively 3008x1692. The Dell can fit much more content on the screen.

FireBeyond 7 minutes ago | parent | next [-]

macOS can specify regions of the screen to be 1x. If I'm using Capture One or Lightroom, my photos are at normal resolution while the UI elements are "retina/2x".

wmf 4 minutes ago | parent [-]

So you can see more detail but you aren't fitting more photos on the screen.

madeofpalk 5 hours ago | parent | prev [-]

Yes really. A pixel is a pixel. This dell monitor has pixels the size of boulders. Apple Pro Display XDR has 4.6m more pixels in a significantly smaller area creating a much denser display.

wmf 5 hours ago | parent [-]

Denser pixels are worth less because you can't see them; in this case 3x-4x less.

adamnemecek 10 hours ago | parent | prev [-]

But those are retina pixels right? Like what is the max resolution of that display?

nixass 10 hours ago | parent | next [-]

Retina pixels what? Pixel is a pixel, density _of pixels_ is what you're looking for

lemoncucumber 9 hours ago | parent [-]

"Retina" is Apple's marketing name for high PPI displays.

nixass 9 hours ago | parent [-]

Exactly. Retina is not "pixels" though or type of pixel

gffrd 10 hours ago | parent | prev [-]

6016 x 3384.

Dell monitor is twice the surface area with 3/4 the pixels … or in reverse: Apple display is half the size with 30% more pixels.

(edit: corrected dell pixel %)

zuminator an hour ago | parent [-]

What is going on here? Why is everyone in this thread using 'pixels" to mean ppi? It seems unnecessarily confusing or even misleading. I mean blatantly a 6K monitor has more pixels than a 5K or 4K one, regardless of the pixel density.

gffrd an hour ago | parent [-]

Yeah, nobody’s saying a 5k monitor has more pixels than a 6k.

I think what people are trying to communicate, but struggling to, is that high pixel count on a huge display can be deceptive.

I think grandparent was trying to say “comparing a low-poi display to a high-ppi display is not a direct comparison.”

malfist 8 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-]

You must have really tiny hands considering the pixels are smaller that .2mm by .2mm

First time I hear about this Kuycon, the pricing seems phenomenal and the quality as well. I will probably buy one by the end of the week.

It's odd that we don't get to see a lot of high quality OEM monitors.

thatwasunusual 3 hours ago | parent [-]

> the pricing seems phenomenal

I'm in Norway, and I wonder if I see different prices than people from elsewhere in the world? Here it says $1.7K, and I can get the LG UltraFine 6K 32" for $2K, with the benefit of being bought from a Norwegian retailer (think guarantees and shopping security).

To be clear; I have never tried either of these monitors, so I can't tell if either is any good. :D

Lammy 9 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-]

16:9 60Hz kinda sucks though :/

Yes I realize the Pro Display XDR has those same specs. 16:10 or 3:2 120Hz or 144Hz would be ideal to me.

Those look like the monitors used on the F1 movie, which is strange, considering it was an Apple production and they maybe should have used apple monitors for product placement . I guess it is a testimony about Kuycon from Apple.

wtallis 8 hours ago | parent [-]

You should look at pictures of Apple's Pro Display XDR. The Kuycon monitor is an obvious rip-off of that in terms of styling, especially the ventilation on the back.

seanmcdirmid 5 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-]

LG has a 6K 32 inch also, although a few hundred dollars more.

m463 9 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-]

> pixels the size of my hand

Sometimes this is refreshing. (display joke there, heh)

this is a big monitor.

Many UIs don't scale particularly well with very high resolution. So you get UI elements with super-fine text or icons.

Some linux console fonts are almost unreadable with just 4k, though recent releases seem to be addressing this.

also old games.

for comparison, I think this is basically the dell 43" monitor with pixels on each side (16:9 -> 21:9)

the height of the panel is similar, the width is higher (plus curvature)

By having fewer pixels, lower quality screens? Crazy what you can do when you cut corners.

This screen reminds of when I did tech support in high school and I helped a guy who bragged about his computer monitor, it was a TV running at 720p (if not lower) and a massive screen. The windows start bar was hilariously large (as were all UI elements), I had to just smile and nod until I got out of there.

Sure, your screen may be bigger but it's blurry and everything is scaled way too large.

semi-extrinsic 9 hours ago | parent [-]

> everything is scaled way too large

The HiDPI/Retina bullshit is just bullshit. I've been running a 4K 43" 4:3 display at 100% scaling since 2018. It is neither blurry nor scaled too large. It can, however, comfortably fit 10 A4 pages simultaneously. Or 4 terminals + a browser + a PDF reader.

ggm 2 hours ago | parent | next [-]

My arithmetic nodule is having a konniption fit. Does not compute. If this is 16:9 and you mistook your aspect ratio I can breathe again. √2:1 says 1.41:1 isn't 1.33:1

10 A4 pages do not fill a 4:3 or 3:4 aspect ratio box. They don't fill a 16:9 box either but it's more plausible, the wastage is different.

My comment (or at least that quote) was specifically about someone using a 30"+ TV at 720p as their computer monitor.
