Rumors say Apple is working on a monitor with an A13 chip embedded in it for something like this kind of usage.

I just wish they’d make a monitor that doesn’t cost $5000. It’s basically impossible to find a 27”+ monitor that works optimally with a Mac because they’re all 4K, and the way macOS handles scaling means you have to scale by a non-integer factor.

Just give me the 5K iMac panel in a basic shell, that’s all I need.

There's no 2x?

There is 2x, but for 4K at >= 27”, 2x would make all UI elements comically large.
