$8,000 and it only does 60Hz?! What were they thinking?

You misread the article; this is a $2,000 product. An unrelated 32-inch 8k monitor from Asus is $8,000—it's mentioned in passing to disclaim that the LG isn't, technically, the highest-DPI monitor on the market.

Apple’s Pro Display XDR, which this absolutely competes with, is also 60 Hz.

It’s $5000. Without a stand.

There are rumors there will be a new version soon. Perhaps we’ll get 120 Hz.

The refresh rate on these super high resolution monitors is not great.

This monitor is not really for gaming; GPUs aren't powerful enough to drive 6K beyond 60 FPS.
