5k... what a bunch of marketing crap.
Might as well call the touch bar on a MacBook Pro a 2k display, i mean, it is 2170x60.

I prefer having a ton of crappy monitors over having one large one, except when it comes to ease-of-setup. It's way easier to just maximize everything per-monitor than it is to manage my windows.They're partly driven by gaming, but they're great for productivity too. The extra workspace is fantastic for video editors, and for me personally as a Substance Designer guy, having a super wide view of the graph is great.
That and the diagonal being used as a metric for how large a display is.5k... what a bunch of marketing crap.

We tried a USB-C cable, a DisplayPort to USB-C cable, a Thunderbolt 3 dock, and an eGPU and weren't able to get the full 5120 x 1440 resolution. With an iMac Pro, though, we were able to run the display at full resolution over USB-C. It's probably also going to work well with the 2013 Mac Pro (or one of the new 2019 Mac Pro models, of course), but for Mac notebooks, we don't recommend it.
There have been other reports from Mac users who have also been unable to get the display to work at full resolution with their machines, while others have had no trouble at all, so it's not entirely clear what's going on.
I would have tried two video outputs from the MacBook Pro to two inputs on the monitor for a side by side arrangement. Then just stretch your left screen window (option-green button to keep it windowed and not full screen) over to the right screen.
80W at 5V = 16 amps. I'd love to know what kind of conductors/PCB trace they use inside to carry that kind of current.
One thing I don’t really understand is, I’m always looking for a taller monitor to fit in my limited desk space, not wider.

This kind of screen is for people working in the video Industry. It’s actually awesome for a long editing timeline or a 3D software with lots of panels opened. Just wish it was retinaOne thing I don’t really understand is, I’m always looking for a taller monitor to fit in my limited desk space, not wider. (16:9 is just too wide unless I’m watching videos, 16:10 is okay, but honestly 3:2 or 4:3 is even better.) I literally wouldn’t know where to put something like this.
I assume sales of these ultra-wide monitors are driven by gaming, but are there really not enough people using monitors for things other than video consumption and gaming to justify producing monitors in anything other than increasingly wide aspect ratios?

Will this screen be overkill for my cat videos?
Never thought I'd see a $1500 display and think it's a bargain, and yet here we are. Thanks, Apple.

I wish Apple could have a stand alone 5k display at the same price point. I love the 6K display but that price is painful to say the least.
