Am i the only one who is frustrated with the mac monitor options these days? I don't know anyone who uses a 27" desktop monitor, much less a 24". What year is it? And $5k for a 32" is insulting.

The “correct” retina resolutions are 4k at 24", 5k at 27" and 6k at 32".

Apple won't make a display that doesn't align to that, since macOS doesn't handle anything else perfectly.

the new iMac is 4.5k at 24"

What size monitor do you believe to be most common? Anecdotally it seems the 27" monitor is finally overtaking the 24" monitors, but those seem to still be standard at more corporate companies.

I wish Apple had succeeded in getting 27" monitors to be 5k resolution across the board -- but that ship seems to have long since sailed.

In my opinion, the biggest problem with Apple’s external displays is their 60 Hz refresh rate. That’s half of what their own iPhone (!) and MacBook pro models support, and is a far cry from the 240 Hz (albeit at lower resolutions) displays that are starting to pop up from other manufacturers.

You can use non-Apple monitors with a Mac.

Apple's monitors are only worth getting if you're incredibly picky about very specific things.
