That’s the case. And it explains the 60Hz. TB3 can only support 5k@60 due to the amount of bandwidth it takes. So without a newer interconnect (delaying the Studio more) or some fancy custom dual TB setup they didn’t have a choice.

The LG has its problems. It’s kind of wobbly, cheap feeling, and the USB-C ports can fail over time from strain/use. The extra $200 for the quality and features of the Apple display sounds reasonable to me given that benchmark.

Is it expensive in absolute terms? Yeah. The LG is too. But it’s those two options or step up to the Pro Display at $5k.

But would using TB4 solve the issue?

5k60 requires 32.4 Gbps uncompressed, 120 Hz would be double that. TB3, TB4, and USB4 max out at 40 Gbps. The main difference between TB3 and TB4 is that TB4 requires every feature to be implemented (charging DisplayPort, etc.).
