Apple now selling updated LG UltraFine 5K Display [u]
Amber Neely
Apple is selling a new version of the LG UltraFine 5K display at retail and online, with better speed from the USB-C ports, and more power deliverable to a host computer.
Update July 31, 10:00 A.M. Eastern time: While the original information we were provided said that the iPad Pro could connect at 5K resolution, clarification on Wednesday morning says that it cannot.
The display retains the previous model's 5,120-by-2,880 pixel resolution and supports the P3 color gamut. Three USB-C ports provide connectivity to downstream peripherals and can provide 94W of power to a host computer. Apple's existing 15-inch MacBook Pro requires 87W for charging.
A built-in FaceTime camera and microphone allows users to make FaceTime calls. The monitor also features built-in stereo speakers.
The LG UltraFine 5K display supports seamless macOS integration, allowing users to control both volume and brightness without physical buttons.
The new version of the LG UltraFine 5K display retails for $1299, the same as the original version that left Apple stores in May.

8-bit or 10-bit color channels?
No thunderbolt 3... Splendid 💩
Well anyway I'll buy one, nothing better is going to come out.
Well, it’s not as cool looking as the new Apple reference monitor, but it gets the job done.
Five seconds of checking this out on Apple's site reveals the monitor supports BOTH Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C 3.2.
An iPad Pro can output 5K?
I don't see a mention of 5K on Apple iPad Pro page. It just says:
"Video mirroring and video out support: Up to 4K through USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter and USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter (adapters sold separately)"
