Apple has confirmed to MacRumors that the brand new Studio Display will work when connected to PCs, but critical new features of the display will not carry over and the experience will be lacking compared to using the display with a Mac.

Funny I have two 27 inch 4K monitors that have 144hz refresh rate in Windows and can only get 60hz in macOS. Got both for less than one studio display. 5k would be nice though.
With all the extra stuff in the display, it would have been nice if it included Bluetooth, so your keyboard and mouse are linked to it instead, and thus follow when you connect different Macs to the screen.
