400-nit brightness is a bummer. And I prefer a non-matte screen. But it's great to finally have more 5K monitor options.

A street is orange from flames and you can see the high winds in the palm trees. Sparks fly down the street A fire truck is engulfed in parks and flames are seen on the hill. The entire photo is red and orange from the fire A fireman with a hose runs across the front of a house in flames in the background The inside of a house is a ball of flames. The only visible thing inside is a burning Christmas tree

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇
