I currently have a 2016 13' non-touch bar MBP (2 Ghz Intel Core i5, 8GB ram, Intel Iris Graphics 540 1535MB).

I was looking at LG 27 inch 4K HDR Monitor. I’ll be connecting thunderbolt to the external display.

Even though apples official support site says it can handle it, I have read from personal experiences online how it lags/not as smooth when doing extensive stuff.

I do photoshop and video edit too. But Xcode is my primary activity (heavy enough to make my MBP show the spinning beach ball sometimes, especially when running a simulation).

Would appreciate personal anecdotes. Thank you.
