Hey ya’ll, I found out that Planar stealth-released a single-cable (Displayport 1.4) 5K monitor in the US. (Most other 5K monitors require two DP 1.2 cables and use an often-janky algo to untile and display properly.) There are no reviews at all, and no real marketing anywhere. Strange, but it’s a legit product.

It’s here.

I’m going to buy one to test it out. If I don’t like it, I will return it. This is due to the necessity of getting rid of Apple hardware and I’d like to stay with 5K if I can. If I can get it to work with Linux at 5K, that’ll be a damn fine thing.

Update: Holy fuck, it uses PDC, like the 5K iMac! I need to see this screen in person first but I think I might be in love!
