               Large Retina Monitors Coming from Samsung and Dell

   Adam Engst

   Reporting from CES, [1]Dan Seifert writes at The Verge:

     Samsung and Dell both announced new monitors clearly meant to appeal
     to Mac users. These new screens aren't just run-of-the-mill 4K
     panels with USB-C ports and white plastic ' they have the actual
     high-res pixel densities that work best with macOS and match the
     sharpness of Apple's displays. They also offer the 'whole package'
     of integrated webcam, microphone, and speakers that Apple sells with
     the Studio Display, providing a whole desk setup through one cable.

   Samsung's new ViewFinity S9 is a sleek 27-inch 5K display that looks
   like direct competition for Apple's Studio Display, whereas Dell's
   UltraSharp 32 is a boxy 6K display taking aim at Apple's Pro Display
   XDR. Neither company released pricing, but both will likely come in
   below Apple's eye-watering prices. Here's hoping these screens turn out
   to be legitimate Retina-quality alternatives for affordable prices'too
   little has changed in the display world for Mac users since we
   published '[2]What Happened to 5K Displays?' (16 November 2018).
