Those LG monitors look so good. Yes that is one of the reasons why I want to replace the Thunderbolt Display. If it can only transfer the display but not power it then that means having to use up another power outlet. I could use HDMI and connect that to the Samsung 4K TV that I have. But I think its only 50hz because there is visible lag its not as smooth plus it cant transfer power either. Really need a new mac and an external display.

The new air/pro with the m1, or the mini look pretty quick. I have a 15" with the 2.4ghz i9 and their benchmarks are higher, also a third of what I paid last year. I have been having some small issues with Big Sur for example I had to hard set my java home location in netbeans conf file and it freezes when using in full screen mode but I just didn't update my work machine so I can use my personal laptop to figure out issues and move forward on more personal endeavors.

Yeah the new M1 Macs are what I am looking at. I see Big Sur is still causing problems for many developers. I will be sticking with macOS Catalina until Apple rolls out some updates that fix them.
