I'd like 2 new monitors for productivity, but I'm going to rejects Apple's new Studio Display for now as my Macbook Air 2020 (Intel) doesn't support 2 5K displays. I'd have to buy a new machine (~1.5-2K) and 2 Studio Displays (~4K) so that's a little much for me now, but I still want to add 2 new 4K monitors.
Question - If I buy 2 LG 4K displays with a OWC TB Hub will this affect the performance of my 2020 Air? Slow it down, make it run really hot, etc, etc??? Can anyone else who has a setup with 2 displays give feedback and let me know what they use? Also which ones would be the best for my Air 2020?
Right now I have a budget of ~$1,000 and I was looking at these LG monitors (27UL850-W, 27UP850-W, 27UN850-W, 27UK850-W) but have no idea what the difference is between them as the display properties all seem to be the same (4K @3840 x 2160, 5ms response, etc, etc)
I'll post the links to Amazon for the monitors below. They have different prices but can't seem to see why?
