Thin: only 1 review or buyer rating, so it is pulled toward the average.
80 is the field average. A part counts as 80 + (average − 80) × N ÷ (N + 1), where N is its number of sources. One source counts half of the gap from 80. No sources count as 80.

Notes
Sharp 218 PPI text and a Thunderbolt 5 port with 96 W charging make it the Mac reference for coding, and the webcam is much better than in 2022. The panel is unchanged from 2022 (60 Hz, 600 nits, no HDR), the stand is tilt-only unless you pay extra, there is no HDMI or DisplayPort, and it costs far more than the 5K IPS alternatives.
Austrian price EUR 1,940 (alternate.at, variant unknown) vs Apple EU list EUR 1,699. Apple does not state panel type or a P3 percentage. Macworld's star rating did not render in the page text (no score recorded). testberichte.de only has the 2022 model (1.6), not used for the 2026 model. RTINGS review exists (1 Apr 2026) but its score was not readable. Desk fit: a height-adjustable stand counts only when it ships with the monitor; Apple's height stand is a paid option, so no ergo point. (Read from a search excerpt, page not opened: PCMag).
