Petr Škuta Since the opening Keynote, Apple has been heavily criticized for the price of the stand for the new XDR Display. It costs a full 999 dollars and MSI immediately used it in its advertising campaign. In it, he highlights his own 5K monitor.
MSI shared a post on its official Twitter account in which the image is very similar to the famous "I'ma Mac" campaign. However, the sides are reversed and the stand (Mac) looks a bit shabby when compared to MSI's 5K monitor (PC).

Dan Pražák The Prestige PS341WU is a 34" is a very well equipped monitor. It offers 5K resolution, HDR 600 certification, 98% DCI-P3 color gamut and the stand is included in the price. It stopped at $1, which is only $299 more than the stand for the Apple XDR Display. Or at least that's how the company promotes its product, which won't be on the market until next year.
From what I've heard, the Pro Display XDR is even more beautiful in person. The MSI Prestige, not so much. Giant bezels, cheap plastic everywhere, no cable management, etc. Their marketing shot is so misleading. (I was genuinely thinking it might be a decent alternative… ?) https://t.co/WxOsWaVJ6j pic.twitter.com/WBSNRornxE

MSI Prestige is deceiving, a closer look reveals flaws
Of course, upon closer examination, we discover that everything is not as rosy as it seems. Apple's display will offer 6K resolution on a 32" panel. Although the Prestige has a larger surface area physically, it doesn't offer nearly as many pixels. Another catch is hidden in the resolution itself, or it is not even a real 5K panel, but a 5K2K with a real resolution of 5120 x 2160. Instead of high-speed Thunderbolt 3, it only offers USB-C. Processing is also debatable as MSI relies on white plastics. And these are not all the parameters.
Of course, MSI targets completely different users than Apple and uses the entire campaign primarily for its visibility. On the other hand, even in the given price category, we can find much more interesting pieces, such as the LG 34" UltraFine monitor with similar parameters and Thunderbolt 3 in addition.
However, this probably won't be the first or last attempt to laugh at Apple. The after all, he ran himself. In theory, if he sold the monitor directly with the stand and added up the price, maybe he would take the ammunition out of many people's hands.

Still someone mocks Apple for this and that, and then they have to add a tablet to a mobile phone, or reduce the price by 70% in order to sell at all. And in the end, Apple laughs, it doesn't have to discount anything - and how many times has it been predicted...
So you don't have much of an overview. Apple is cheapening iPhones like crazy, and despite that, its sales are falling the most of all mobile phone manufacturers. And now they face an even bigger problem. All Apple shareholders are shaking with fear as the US trade war with China shakes sales. If China takes retaliatory measures, Apple will be first in line and then either close factories or cut prices even more than the competition.
where does it make it cheaper for me to buy something?
MSI will be blacklisted, no one must insult the USA and Donald Trump.
And is MSI able to supply a VESA mount to the Mag27cq?
But you forgot the most important thing :D That Apple sh*t monior supports max 60Hz :D :D :DV In 2019 he will buy a 60Hz monitor just absolute b*b :D If I were to go from 144Hz to 60Hz I would have an epileptic fit every 5 minutes :D Well, the main thing is that for 30k you can buy a total cannon monitor with better parameters than this one, and anyway, you can get a 4k 144Hz monitor for under 50K, this is more than the overpriced sh*ts 60 Hz from 1998 :D :D Well yes Apple people will buy it because it has an apple on the back...
So don't buy it, it's not for you. Where is the problem?
