Try doing your same math with the Pro Display XDR or the Samsung Odyssey G9 and your calculations will come up with the monitors being impossible especially accounting for overhead. 5k120hz is very possible with today's tech, you just need to use DSC or 2 links.

That is why people were hoping for it.

> TB4 has the same bandwidth as TB3 so you wouldn't be able to daisy chain 5k monitors anyway.

So this each Studio Display will require a direct connection to the laptop/desktop in order to work?

That's definitely not great.

Yep. The LG 5Ks are the same way too. Moreover, if you have an Intel MacBook Pro you have to use ports on opposite sides of the laptop if you have 2 displays. You can’t plug them in on the same side.
