It's not out of step with this technology.

So I really hope they do that someday.

But Apple's statement is them trying to say we're not going to do that just by this monitor.

I think you would enjoy it because you are a 5K monitor enjoyer, and this is a better 5K monitor than all your other monitors, but it's probably too much money for somebody who's already got three perfectly serviceable 5K monitors.

So...

I'm not saying wait and the price will go down because it won't.

Nope, nope.

In two years, the specs on this will still be pretty good because this is, again, not in the gaming realm.

120 hertz and these brightness figures are going to be competitive for several years in the realm of somebody who is looking at Windows on their computer screen and pictures that they take.

You know what I mean?

Outside of the gaming realm, there's not this big race to...

to crank these specs up.

The brightness is going to continue to increase and it's going to fall behind the competition probably, but it's going to be competitive for several years.

So I don't think you need to have a, you know, run out and get this one.

You can wait two or three years and it will still be a good monitor in two or three years and it'll be the same price.

I'm mostly just feeling protective of my XDR and in fear of the red line disease that Underscore has, because if it dies, my options are now try to find a used one on eBay that isn't

doesn't have the same problems or downsize in monitors.

And that's just not a thing computer nerds are used to.

Over time, again, computer nerds are used to their monitors getting bigger.

I started out with a 9-inch screen.
