Obscure monitor supplier challenges Samsung, Apple and LG to produce world’s first 5K touchscreen – Alogic’s Clarity Touch works with a stylus and can even charge your laptop
Alogic has announced the Clarity Touch 5K, a 27-inch studio-quality display that also acts as a hub to declutter workspaces by connecting to workstations with just one cable.
The 27-inch IPS display with QD backlight offers a stunning 5120 x 2880 resolution, the same as Apple’s Studio Display, but with built-in touch. It delivers brightness levels ranging from 350 nits (minimum) to 400 nits (typical), ensuring vivid and accurate display color reproduction and supporting 10-point multitouch and stylus input for precision work.
The color accuracy of the new screen is remarkable, with 130% NTSC, 97% DCI-P3, 100% sRGB and 99% Adobe RGB coverage. This level of accuracy is crucial for professional applications that require precise color matching.
Many ports
The Clarity Touch 5K design features a sleek combination of ABS, glass and aluminum, weighs 7.6kg and measures 624mm x 225mm x 555mm. It is VESA mount compatible and includes two integrated 5W speakers and an audio output option.
The new display comes with multiple connectivity options, including USB-C for video (DP Alt Mode required) and 65W laptop charging, two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4, two USB-A ports (5 Gbps, 7.5W charging for accessories), a 3.5mm audio jack and a USB-B port to connect the computer to USB-A and audio ports.
The 5K monitor is compatible with Apple, Chromebook and Microsoft devices and comes with a two-year warranty. There’s no word yet on pricing or availability, but the 27-inch 4K Clarity Pro Touch retails for $1398.99, so a reasonable estimate for the 5K version would be around $1800.
