A premium screen with a 60hz refresh rate in 2022 is, frankly, ridiculous

It’s a Thunderbolt limitation at 5K.

The limit is ~90hz, and they already have tech for pro motion (variable refresh rate) in macOS.

The video part of Thunderbolt 4 is based on DisplayPort 1.4, which is limited to 60Hz for 5K.

It’s 5K. My understanding is there isn’t enough bandwidth on a TB4 cable to do more than 5K @ 60hz.

Not for the intended audience. Pixel density > refresh rate outside of gaming.

Sure it's not for gaming, otherwise there'd be questions about response time and such.

However, 60hz vs 100hz does make a noticeable difference for scrolling or 3D work or slow-mo video.

Even 90hz would be good enough of an improvement.

Edit: Oh i didn't mean reducing the PPI in favor of the refresh rate. I meant keeping the >4K and the PPI but pushing the refresh rate above 60hz.

Try 20hz for a bit and you might change your mind on "Pixel density > refresh rate outside of gaming".

Colors too. Maybe also dark black.
