I purchased two of these to run off of my MBP and they have worked very well for me. However lately I have been looking into a larger curved monitor as I no longer use everything in full screen anymore and it would be nice to have more space on my desk and I dislike having the split with bezels in the middle of the two and the hard angle of the two flat monitors.
I guess it depends on what you want to do with it. I work for a company that develops web applications for media companies so a decent amount of the time we have to change the UI so it's nice to run the IDE on one screen and see the browser instantly on the other.
For your Thunderbolt Display I bought a thunderbolt to thunderbolt 3 cord to use the above mentioned monitor with my work iMac(2015) and it works just fine, the only thing with a laptop would be it won't transfer power just the display. I would imagine it would work with any usb-c monitor as well. apple.com/shop/product/HN8B2ZM/A/m...
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.
