Apple has a limit on how many registered devices one can have, right?
So imagine having a multi-screen setup ...

Should be like MBP XDRs
- miniLED backlight (40000 leds, 10k zones?);
- ProMotion 120 Hz with backward compatibility (60 Hz for older devices);
- thinner;
- more expensive ($6999 for the sake of inflation).
Normal DisplayPort 1.4 can do 6K120 if you use DSC @ 9bpp instead of the usual 12bpp.
I think Thunderbolt 5 can do UHBR20 (77.37 Gbps) which requires 29bpp to do 6K120. That's almost 0 compression.
Thunderbolt 5 can do 120 Gbps, which can handle a couple UHBR13.5 connections (52.22 Gbps each) or a couple UHBR20 connections if they are limited to <60 Gbps each.
The display could be like the existing XDR and use a connection for each half of the display but that was only necessary to support GPUs that don't support DSC. The connections were HBR3 (25.92 Gbps) but limited to ≈19 Gbps each to fit in Thunderbolt 3. The existing XDR used HBR2 with DSC @12bpp for GPUs that support DSC (bandwidth less than that of uncompressed 4K60).

I think this is what Apple was waiting for. Maybe announcement at wwdc next year with redesign MP? M4 ultra running 3 of these displays at 120hz 6k? wow
I use BetterDisplay for 3008x1692 when Screen Sharing my 2013 Mac Pro.
What is the current price for out of warranty replacement? $3000 or $3200? Do you have to mail back the broken one if you don't have the box or do they send you a box or make you go to the store? Thank you
