As the other comment pointed out, that is not an apples to apples comparison. The monitor you linked is a UHD one (3840 x 2160 pixels, around 8.3 megapixels) with a pixel density of ~200 ppi. The display showcased by Apple has a resolution of 5K (5120 x 2880 pixels, around 14.75 megapixels) with a pixel density of 217 ppi. Also, based on my experiences with LG gaming monitors I would assume that the Apple display also has a significantly better color accuracy.

If you would have taken a second to look at the specs and search for actually comparable products you would find that there are, at least to my knowledge, no displays with the same resolution and higher refresh rates. This makes sense because 5k@60Hz already has incredibly high bandwidth requirements.

The best actually comparable product is an LG UltraFine 5K which comes in at 1,499€ msrp which is 246€ cheaper than Apple's Studio Display at 1,745€ msrp. Oh, and to no ones surprise, it also has a 60 Hz refresh rate.

So to answer your initial question: Yes, people do spend that kind of money on displays with "only" 60Hz.

This one is almost half the resolution. UHD vs 5K

This is just the interest payment on a $300B debt.

Well this time they already were inside a 30-day grace period which as of 3 hours ago they missed aswell, hence the default.

It's unclear if they paid or not, even last time the creditors received the Money the day after the 30 days had passed.

It seems they didn't but we won't know until tomorrow or so.

One organization who states that they are a creditor has published a letter stating that they've not been paid

AFAIU that refers to "we've not Received money by the end of the day".

But the clearinghouse managing the bonds said those have been paid later, just like last time.

Notice the latter also says "they defaulted again", which is not true.

The payment on the debt was due today, and as of 3 hours ago that timeframe has passed, which is why the default got announced by the DMSA.

Just read this now, should've picked the DMSA link, but couldn't edit once posted. Thanks for updating though.

This post was in direct response to: http://dmsa-agentur.de/download/20211110_DMSA_EVG_PM_en.pdf . I just thought the reuters article contained more relevant information.

AP is reporting the default is official: https://apnews.com/press-release/pr-newswire/business-china-...

> Press release content from PR Newswire. The AP news staff was not involved in its creation.

Edit: that link seems to justify the title but it doesn’t fit the main article.

Seriously misleading title though. A default is a well-defined event. “Defaults” implies that it has happened. “Teetering” is something else. Needs fixing.

"Evergrande officially defaulted - DMSA is preparing bankruptcy proceedings against Evergrande Group", see: http://dmsa-agentur.de/download/20211110_DMSA_EVG_PM_en.pdf . Will fix the title though if more people view it as misleading.

It did default though, the title of the Reuters article is playing it too safe. The contents of the first paragraph describe the default.

> Exactly what time the grace period expires on Wednesday is unclear, but the two sources with knowledge of the matter said some bondholders had not been paid by the end of the Asian business day.

It's ambiguous, but the title is a fair conclusion.

Wednesday finished about three hours ago, in China, FWIW.

>Evergrande, the world's most indebted corporation, could ultimately lead to a "Great Reset", i.e. the final meltdown of the global financial system

Bonus points for that PDF using the phrase "great reset."

This PDF is predicting "the final meltdown of the global financial system" in the first paragraph. I don't want to be a negative nancy, but it reads a lot like "all vaccinated people will fall over dead by end of the year" to me.
