All that is available right now, but not all in an Apple branded monitor, in fact I was quite shocked when I saw for 1300 plus for the Studio you still don't get any controls built in to switch inputs. You have to buy a switch box.

It will do and you can even use thunderbolt to plug them in, but you will need to find a compatible USB C switch box, otherwise the only way to switch inputs on an Apple display is to unplug cables and plug them in.
If Apple made a 32" Mini led monitor with 120hz for say 1600 I'd be interested, but it's more likely they'll price a new 27" screen with those specs at that price. And stick to their 5 grand 32" plus stand monitor.
Also - they likely won’t because Apple is fixated on only thunderbolt connections - but it would be a way better display if it also can accept HDMI 2.1 input, cause then the M2 Pro/Max upward can also support these displays.
I have a M2 Max Mac Studio that I would happily attach to one of these but I am not upgrading simply because they choose to limit it to thunderbolt 5.

They need 3 new displays priced to accompany the Mac Mini, Studio and Pro. It’s unacceptable having to wait so long for display updates.
Wow, I can't wait to see what Tim Apple and his bean-counters come up with next! Power cord or stand optional on Studio Display? Air, Pro, and Max Studio displays? A great big notch? So exciting!

Apple is rumored to be planning a second-generation Studio Display with mini-LED backlighting for release later this year, or early next year. That monitor is codenamed J427 within Apple, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
In his Power On newsletter today, Gurman said that Apple seemingly has even bigger plans in regards to external displays.
Specifically, he said that Apple is working on an additional monitor, codenamed J527.
However, he is not sure what this additional monitor will end up being, so it is a mystery for now. He speculated that Apple could be developing two different second-generation Studio Display models, and will eventually choose which one to launch. Alternatively, he guessed that the J527 model could be a second-generation Pro Display XDR.
The current Pro Display XDR launched in 2019, and the Studio Display followed in 2022.

Mini LED, 120Hz, 27-32" would be an insta-buy from me. As long as the price stays the same of course... 
A nice-to-have feature I'd love to see in a future Studio Display is built-in bluetooth, so that the user can pair keyboards and mice to the display (rather than the computer) and have the Display pass through input events to the attached computer via USB. Then, no matter what Mac you have plugged into the Display, the paired keyboard and mouse automatically work.
Apple needs a high quality, 27' or larger monitor, with webcam and speakers, built-in, for under $500...this would sell all day long...
I’m thinking a 27” and a 32”. from the code name j427, this is the 27” and j527 is the 32”, add the 5+27.
I’m sure it will it have better speaker, maybe 2 thunderbolt inputs (breaking their rule) then you can daisy chain multiple devices. Having the capability to tilt the monitor vertically reaching a bigger market from coders and desktop publishers.
It would sell even better if you paid people $500 to take it. While we’re talking pipe dreams.
I use my studio displays with my gaming pc and my thinkpad fold already.
You know what, I was about to say “it makes no difference to me“. But if Apple had to do a live demonstration on stage of the Apple Intelligence features, they probably wouldn’t have shown it off before it was ready.
He did give a model number though, so that’s definitely something to hold him to account.
But then the software engineers would have to make sure demos worked flawlessly on stage rather than features being faked in a video editing suite.
… ohh, now I understand why iOS 18 was so half baked.
