Ask HN: Good Cheaper Alternatives to Apple Thunderbolt Display?

3 points by swamy_g 6 years ago · 6 comments · 1 min read


It's time to change my 8 year old monitor. I use a chinese make monitor that is really good, but sadly doesn't have HDMI or thunderbolt/USB options.

Looking for a 4k, 27inch monitor, with at least HDMI/USB-C connectivity.

Apple displays are great, but they are expensive. Any alternatives you would recommend?

(P.S. Not looking for Ultrawide monitors)

This is a vague ask. And it’s also a lazy ask because you haven’t put the effort into telling us what you want.

Whar connectivity do you need? What size and resolution? Do you want ultrawide? Are you coding, doing design work, or gaming? What’s your budget?

It depends on what you want but you might want to look at this recent thread:

I love my ultrawide monitor.
