Why so many monitors does not have Thunderbolt 4+ port?
The Thunderbolt issue is discussed here. You could however connect two monitors with one using USB-C and the other using DP to USB-C (see here). The 5K ASUS ProArt PA27JCV has a LuxPixel matte coating which looks very similar to Apple’s nano-texture. I felt the LuxPixel affected the whites too much

Actually loving the new standard Studio Display?
The glossy 5K looks so much better than any non Apple 5K matte monitor I'm using the Asus ROG Strix 5K XG27JCG but I'm thinking about getting the standard glossy ASD.

Still deciding if the LG 27GM950B-B is a keeper
In practice, with SDR + Local Dimming off, even though "they should look the same", the LG GM9 looks WAAAY better than the ASUS ROG Strix XG27JCG. Source: I had them both at the same time, used them back-to-back days. The LG is just a much better looking display, for whatever reason (better finish,

Still deciding if the LG 27GM950B-B is a keeper
Fair enough. The local dimming "works" the few times I used it for gaming, but that feature didn't matter a ton to me vs. the quality difference between the Asus JCG vs. LG GM9. You're not really supposed to use local dimming + HDR for office work, and it doesn't matter for my use cases (10 hours of

27GM950B-B: Can anyone confirm if the 27GM950B-B will do 5k @ 120hz on M5 Pro Macbook?
Matte 5K is nowhere near Glossy 5K. I'm using a Asus ROG Strix XG27JCG and I get 5K 165Hz but I'd rather drop to 60Hz to get the glossy ASD's sharpness

Asus ROG Strix XG27JCG (dual-mode 180/330Hz 5K 5120×2880 monitor) — review by PCWorld
The colors are great if the default is selected (which is oddly called “Racing”). The only other profile that is useful is sRGB. All the other gaming profiles are just so weird—even for gaming! The JCG can definitely be used as a reference monitor (DCI-P3 gamut measured at close to 93% by Tom’s Hard
