4k / 28" is 157 PPI, which is only indistinguishable at around 2 feet view distance on average. Better eyesight puts that distance further back.

8k at 28" is "retina" at just under a foot.

So depending on how far you sit from your screen PPI can matter more or less to you, but when we finally get 8k panels we should also finally be getting people in retina range most of the time.

8k / 120+hz is the holy grail for me.

I can see Apple bringing 120hz to the iMac, so 5k at 120hz would be getting close.

I wish they sold screens still.

Apple is still using panels by Dell, as far as I know. So that 5K Dell display is the same panel that is used in their iMac range.

They are LG panels ultimately. There were some Samsung panels previously but since 2015 they have all been LG.

Luckily they're bringing back a display with the new Mac Pro next year.
