Anthropic — What company has the best second artificial intelligence model at the end of June?
A striking development has emerged in artificial intelligence. The Studio Display looks great next to a MacBook, but its aging display technology holds it back. | Photo by John Higgins / The Verge For the better part of 12 years, Apple owned the 5K monitor world - primarily because it made basically the only options.
LG's 5K UltraFine was a solid, if bland choice, but many people bought a 27-inch iMac from 2014 for its 5K screen alone. Then in 2022, Apple finally gave the people what they wanted by releasing the $1,599 Studio Display (which was essentially the iMac's screen as a separate monitor with a webcam and speakers) and removed the LG from its store.
It wasn't until late 2024 that companies like BenQ and Asus finally began releasing their own 27-inch 5K monitors.
This advance offers important signals about the future of the sector, and the tech world is watching closely.
