I specifically didn't suggest it because you can't connect it to anything that doesn't supports Thunderbolt 3 monitors since it doesn't have a display port connection, so you can't use that with a PC in any reliable way.

Odd if LG makes a high end panel and doesn’t maximize the market for it by making e.g a regular DisplayPort monitor.

Smells a bit like Apple has got an exclusivity deal to be the only platform with 5K IPS. Might be paranoid...

Wait, so my 2014 13" rMBP won't be able to connect to it? A coworker has one and it looks amazing, I had it on my "if I win the lottery" list.
Nope neither can my late 2015 MBP...

System Requirements Operating System: macOS Sierra 10.12.1 or later

Connection: Thunderbolt 3–enabled Mac

Nope, Thunderbolt 3 exclusively. That's the 2016/2017 MBP, iMac, and iMac Pro.

Mini-macbook is USB-C without Thunderbolt, Mac Pro and Mac Mini are still Thunderbolt 2.
