I've tried the LG UltraFine and LG UltraGear (w/144hz) ... still went with the Studio Display. Expensive, but my previous Thunderbolt display gave me 12 solid years – hoping the SD does the same.

Edit: Also consider the price of speakers, camera, hub, power, and the "it just works" factor.

> power

Most modern usb-c / tb seem to come in an integrated "dock" which provides power. But many provide a laughably low number.

Also, for some reason, many come with external power bricks for some reason, which are a special kind of PITA with their short, permanently attached cords.

Ultimately, I'm beholden to whatever I can get work to pay for, unless I want to pay out of pocket to subsidize the capex of a multi-trillion dollar conglomerate.
