The best looking display on the market right now is the Acer H7 without a doubt. It's aluminum, has super thin bezels, and USB-C (on the gold model). If they update this to 4K in 2017, it would be a very nice option for many.

I'm just too much of an Apple guy to stare at non-Apple aesthetics while using macOS, so waiting for the next 5K iMac revision.

I guess Dell forgot, that this is Apples' gig and no one else should be doing it... Do all of you complaining seriously hear yourselves? Apple did this for ages with their cinema and then thunderbolt displays and charged $999 for them. How is this Dell display that much different?
Also, what makes people think these were made for the new MacBook Pro? You all do realize that some Dell computers have had USB type C since late 2015 to early 2016? The company I work for has been using Dell Precision 5510 notebooks, that have USB C, for almost a year now. But they also maintain USB 3.0 ports and as card slots. As well as an HDMI port.
It just bothers me that people assume this new fangled USB C movement was started by Apple. This movement has been going on for a long time now. This is just the year every manufacturer will be pushing it hard. All of these devices being revealed at CES have been in development long before Apple released a single device with USB C.
Kind of puzzling why Apple did not use the LG 5K display and just used the current Apple TB enclosure. That simple solution would allow them to sell tons of displays with the Apple brand that so many people want. If Apple put just a bit of effort they could just redesign the display enclosure. Not a big deal. I really don't get Tim's allergy to the Mac and accessories line up. It's a shame.
Apple only recently dropped their 1440p.
What's worse is the 21.5" iMac size. It should be 23-24".
Wow.. that Dell is so ugly. I was waiting for the default solid Dell monitor with USB-C, not some weird lamp-like monitor with a huge thick base, without any height adjustability and disappointing specs.
I'm pretty sure all their panels will get USB-C eventually though. Hopefully this is just some weird stuff to impress people at CES and they'll update the rest of their line (later this year) too.

I would not buy a USB-C monitor, even if I still had my new MacBook Pro , I would get a DisplayPort monitor, I'm done with having monitors that only plug into one device . The LG one cannot even daisychain.....poor, and hardly whiping the floor when such basic thunderbolt functionality is missing from the outgoing apple display
So to answer your question I would not buy either the Dell or LG, there are much superior 1440p monitors to both of them, depending on your purpose.

Not really, apart from size the CRTs were still superior for a long time to LCD
There isn't any bandwidth left to daisy chain, as streaming 5K video with three channels of 10 bit color at a 60 Hz rate, plus three ports of USB 3.0 takes up the full TB 3 bandwidth.
With respect to having a DisplayPort input, are there any laptops available with the needed DisplayPort 1.3 output for supporting 5K?
until you read that it has a GLOSSY finish.
Come on DELL, we know that you can do Matt finishes to your screens. If you really want the pro's to use this (I use a Dell 4K 27in Monitor) then get rid of the glossy crap.
Cheers for that, have not researched the LG to realise the bandwidth was saturated . This is one reason I'm not a fan of 5K , i would prefer daisychaining.
Other laptops, maybe, though I would not touch a 5K display or a 4K display right now, as I use my monitors for a variety of purposes, and one of them is gaming. 1440p all the way. I have a 4K display and 1440p display side by side, both powered by a Titan x pascal, 60 HZ is so inferior. In a few years I'll jump to 4K or 5K monitors when driving them becomes trivial and they break 100 HZ. I love the pictures on my 4K but geez it feels clunky compared to my 144hz 1440.
Yet again this is personal preference.
Non-sequitur? What on earth does that have to do with the statement that flat panel monitors are already thin enough?
[doublepost=1483430176][/doublepost]
Your main examples are wall-mounted TV's, where having a thinner screen has a direct benefit - it sticks out from the wall, so sticking out less far is nice. But if you have a monitor hooked up to a computer, and it's free-standing on a desk, you're looking at the front of the screen, there isn't much useful benefit gained from having the screen be 1/2" thick vs. three times that thick. Aesthetically, sure, it might be prettier, I can understand that, but if the monitor is not wall mounted... did you really have other plans for the 1" of airspace immediately behind your 1/2" thick screen?
Well, in my eyes, this is the good part about Apple no longer being in the display market (and us no longer using the proprietary Thunderbolt port).
Competition. Can't wait for the prices to be driven down on these.
