Anyone tested or seen any reviews of the 2018 rMBP paired with the 5K 27-inch LG display. The previous gens could be a bit laggy. Better internal GPU on the new model. Deciding between a 4k and 5K. Would prefer the 5k for space, but would rather have the 4k if smoother.
Got a tip for us?

I own both the 4k and 5k display I appreciate the larger size for my Lightroom work and my 2016 13-inch have no issues with both displays
You run both simultaneously with the 2016 13-inch and there's no issue/lag/stutter?
Very nice to learn that some 2016 13-inch had no issue running the LG UltraFine 5K! Waiting for feedback from 2018 13-inch users.
I have a 2017 nTB 13" and mine will start to show some choppiness/stuttering with a 1080p monitor plugged in...Its not as powerful as a 13" TB, but I feel like a 4k monitor will be a huge load on any 13" MBP w/o a dGPU.
I have a Satechi USB-C hub connected to my MBP, and I connect from that to the monitor using HDMI.
Then the hub may be causing the issues. You can use Apple's adapter or maybe USB C to HDMI cable.
You sure? It has horrible reviews on Apple's site. Over 400 reviews, averaging 2 stars lol...
I'm interested in this as well. Especially a comparison in terms of sluggishness between the i5 and i7 models attached to 4K or 5K displays would be useful.
