Samsung’s rival 5K to the Studio Display is finally nearing a public release, with a date of July 3rd for South Korea. A few leaks have teased the ViewFinity S9 in Switzerland and Australia so hopefully a worldwide release will quickly follow.

For me the main problem with the Studio Display is the lack of connectivity. I have a MacBook Pro and a Linux desktop PC, I want to use them both with the same monitor. The Studio Display only has 1 video input, so I would have to keep swapping cables or set up some clumsy external video switching.

Combine that with the lack of mounting flexibility, and other odd design choices like the semi-fixed proprietary power cord, the Studio Display hasn’t seemed that compelling to me. For the premium price it seems to have a lot of limitations.

I’ve seen others complain mostly about price, issues with the webcam, or it not using a newer display technology. Personally I just want to see more options and competition in the 5K space, and other HiDPI resolutions generally.
