The LG 5K UltraFine display was introduced at Apple’s Mac event more than a month back. The monitor was initially supposed to be released in December but LG recently confirmed a delay without disclosing the reason. Customers who have been looking forward to purchasing one will want to know that Apple is now taking orders for the LG UltraFine 5K display online.
Apple has started accepting orders for the 27 inch LG UltraFine 5K display today. The monitor features Thunderbolt 3 USB-C support which allows it to work with Apple’s latest MacBook Pros. Apple has collaborated with LG on this monitor instead of launching its own Thunderbolt display for the new notebooks.
According to the company’s online store, the first orders of the $974 LG 5K UltraFine display will be delivered to customers on December 27th or December 28th, meaning you won’t be able to give one as a Christmas present. Apple is going to start selling the monitor in its stores from December 29th.
Apple recently cut the price of this display to $974 for a limited time. The price was supposed to revert back to the original MSRP or $1,299 on December 31st but since customers have had limited time to purchase this product, Apple has decided to offer it for $974 until the end of March 2017.
