The *COMPLETE* list of 27" 5K Displays?

[roosvelt]

Hi guys, I tried to order a Kuycon G27X 5K on clickclack.io but they don't ship to France even someone posted shipping to Europe was OK.
When I filled out the form, entering my French address returned me it was not possible to ship to.
So I contacted them to know if they could ship to France and the cost, I am waiting for their answer.

At the same time, while searching on the internet, I've found a website, kuycon.us where you can place your order, no problem with my shipment's adress and I could process to check out.
Then, I received an email who told me they will contact me soon.

I was quite surprising so I went back to the site, I saw they have Telegram, Whatsapp and Instagram accounts but no photos on Insta.
So I contacted them through WhatsApp without writing anything, just opened a conversation.

2 mn later, a guy wrote me and introduced himself as a Kuycon US representative, he gave me my number's order I placed and informed me they accept USD,EUR credit/debit cards, SWIFT and crypto.

When I asked him the cost for shipping to France, he told me it was $99 and included in the order I placed with no extra taxes for Europe, price is final.

IMO, it seems like a scam, I'd like to have your opinion.
Thanks for your feedbacks.

EDIT: clickclack.io answered we : they don't ship to France and doesn't have the plan to.

So do you thinks kuycon.us is a scam ? if it's, OP would update the list and highlight that the us website is a scam for other people.

Yes that seems a bit odd that you can't pay on their website - it put me off.

Get onto Reddit (if no one can say here) and ask how people paid for their monitors from Kuycon.us.

Also check with your Credit Card provider if you are covered - assuming your order with a Credit Card.

In the end I was put off ordering by only the one year warranty and potential shipping back to USA/China in case of issues/repairs - the saving (compared to the Apple Studio Display's price) wasn't worth it for me to ship to Europe (UK).

Looking to get it in France as well !
Might end up with the Samsung S9 though, which starts to have promotions periods apparently
But I really miss a 30ish 5K 16:9 !

 

[oKUtItyp]

do we have a list for 32" 6K monitor?

 

[T'hain Esh Kelch]

Apple XDR, and Dell U3224KB. And perhaps a few No-Name Chinese models I'd wager.

 

[Arthur75]

@rosvelt,

I also went through the order process at kuycon.us, and indeed they told me that they DO ship to Europe and France in particular with additional discount if crypto.
What makes you think it is a scam exactly ? Anybody else ordered from them ?

 

[roosvelt]

as justmadeupname said, no possiblity to pay on their website, offer disocutn if you pay with crypto etc...

I've found another website, domain name Russia, Kuycon.ru 1098€ with the height adjustable stand and the perfored back display

 

[oKUtItyp]

Samsung S9 5k

Panel Mfg: BOE
Panel Part#: ME270L7B-N10
Panel Type: Oxide TFT-LCD

 

[T'hain Esh Kelch]

5120x2160 at 40" has similar pixel density to a non-Retina 17" MBP fifteen years ago. Meh!

Indeed sad, but at least the new Dell display is the first to give us 5K resolutions at 120hz, which is quite an improvement, and I will likely get it because of that. 32-34" would be better, but I'll manage.

Which model please ?

Edit : found U4025QW

I thought you're talking about a 27" 5K

is this new ViewSonic getting released outside of China? Price equivalent seems to be about $900.
Adjustable stand, 2000:1 IPS black panel, Multiple inputs!

VG2781-5K

 

[picpicmac]

is this new ViewSonic getting released outside of China?

Last fall when it was announced we looked for information on availability and could not find it. Even on the Viewsonic global page the information is somewhat hidden. Here is the product page:

ViewSonic - VG2781-5K VG2781-5K - COMING SOON

ViewSonic Global QR Code Portal VG2781-5K

www.viewsonicglobal.com

On the list of products, on the global site, the model is still listed as "COMING SOON", as of today:

It's been like that for a while. I wonder if Viewsonic is having source problems for it.

Given that Viewsonic is usually reasonably priced in the US, hopefully the 5K version of this monitor will be well under $1000. The 4K version is reasonably priced and seems to be well received: https://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-VP2756-4K-Calibrated-DisplayPort-Professional/dp/B08V1225XS .

HI there!
You know about Digma Pro art M? It's Russian brand, and I bought it 2 weeks ago.
I read that this model basis on Rich Vision RV100.
The official prise is about 500$, but it very possible to buy it for ~350$ (like me).
I use Digma with MacBook Pro m1 14 by usb-c and it works great. Display has best contrast that I ever have seen (for standard ips panels).

Well you’ve been with this forum a total of 6 hours and make 1 post to give a review of a monitor ..

 

[CWallace]

I was tempted to report the post for advertising, but the Digma Pro Art M is a 27" 5K retina display so it does meet the on-topic criteria.

Yeah, it looks like.. ad, but it wasn't) In the morning I was searching for Rich Vision RV100, and step by step found that forum)
Maybe for you my comment will be helpful, because I think, that Rich Vision RV100 and Digma are the same models. That's all)

I don't understand chinese, but I can clearly see and hear about KVM!

 

[dylanhu]

New Kuycon G27P: https://www.kuycon.us/monitors/G27P/

Only differences from G27X I could identify:

• 30% thinner
• Native 10-bit (I think)
• DP1.4 with DSC
• HDMI 2.1 vs 2.0
• 2 new USB A on side
• Audio jack on side instead of back
• $1099 vs $999 from Kuycon

Not really worth the difference in price from the G27X for $699 from clickclack...

Only a matte coating. What a pitty! I love glossy!

Every year I check to see if the display industry has made any progress. It’s crazy that the 5K iMac screen was introduced 9.5 years ago, and Apple is still selling a variant of that display with minimal improvement (P3 color and 100 nits of brightness are nothing to write home about). It’s also crazy that Apple introduced MacBook Pro displays with true HDR (> 1000 nits and local dimming) and high refresh rate (120 Hz) 2.5 years ago, and they still haven’t provided desktop (Mac Studio and iMac) users a way to match that experience. The ridiculously priced Pro Display XDR gets you HDR at least, but no high refresh rate. Historically, laptops had worse displays because they were limited by space and cooling constraints, and needed to provide higher PPI because people use them at closer distances, so you would think it would be easier to produce a retina desktop display with HDR and high refresh rate, but apparently not.

If I were to upgrade from my 2019 iMac 5K at this point, I would consider the Dell 6k. If I can’t get HDR or high refresh rate in 5k resolution, at least the larger size and resolution would give me some improvement to get excited about.

If nothing else, it is a lack of single-cable bandwidth over Thunderbolt that is holding back high-resolution, high-refresh rate Retina displays for Mac desktops. TB5 will finally provide sufficient bandwidth to allow high-refresh rates at high resolutions with high color depths.

As Apple's TB controllers are part of the SoC, I do hope Apple adopts it for M4.

3K€ for a 32" who provide only 450 cd/m2 of brightness, doesn't seem like a good deal IMO

$2,329 in the US... only slightly more than the Apple Studio Display, which is $1,899-$2,199 with the height adjustable stand. 450 vs 600 cd/m2 brightness is not a big difference in my opinion. I was just at the store the other day comparing M2 and M3 MacBook Pros, and even side by side, 500 vs 600 cd/m2 brightness was very hard to notice any difference. I think the 40% larger screen size and 44% more pixels of the Dell 6K would make a much greater difference in my daily use. I currently have a 2019 iMac 5K and keep the brightness two notches below max in the daytime, which is probably 400-450 cd/m2 anyways. I don't need 600 nits for SDR use. I would only care about high brightness for HDR purposes, if the display could show HDR highlights at 1000-1600 cd/m2 like the XDR displays.

I'm on the same boat, iMac 5K 2020, last Intel product.
I'm agree with you between 500 VS 600 cd/m2, I don't think you'll see a difference but downgrade from 500 to 450, even if finally it's only 50
cd/m2 less, I don't know.

By the way, sorry I was mistaken, in EU it's 2600€ VS 1750€ for the ASD without option and standard glass.

If you pull the trigger for the tilt- and height-adjustable stand you'll pay 2210€

Just came across this thread.

The RichVision says that it is an IGZO panel. IGZO is the material in the backplane used to connect the switches in the LCD layer, it is not a type of display. It was introduced in 2012, so I suspect that most panels today use this instead of a-Si.

I'm going to go on a limb and suggest the RichVision is a IPS, it would seem extremely unlikely it's a VA or anything else.
