My Apple Cinema displays are still running strong since 2006. Those were the days ...

LG Possibly Developing Three New Apple Displays, Including Pro Display XDR With Apple Silicon Chip

What I want is a 32-in iMac with a **matching** 32-in secondary monitor. Not interested in 27-in, that's 2009 technology.
An internal M-series or A-series chip might signal enabling FaceID on the built-in webcam, and would at least get the higher quality webcam functionality from the latest 14 and 16 inch models.
I expect the Apple display to be minimum $500 more than the LG. So it depends on if that’s worth it. It’s still the best looking Mac display outside of the XDR.
Yep, I have two 30" ACDs. Still love them but it's time for an upgrade at higher resolutions and USB-C/TB connections. I have a bunch of adapters attaching the ACDs to my MBP Max.
I'm hoping for a 32" version at a better price point than the XDR. If not, I'll take the 27" but hoping for a larger case.
I hope there'll be a middle one (1500-2000$) with the liquid retina XDR technology.
Money could be saved by making it "only" 27" and 4K.
Promotion, super-premium materials, 32" and the nanotexture are nice features, but I'd rather spend a bit less.

My ageing Thunderbolt 27 displays are still going strong but they’re not going to last forever and I really would like a resolution bump. Please make these do all the things we want - like the TB displays did - so give them a cam, mic, a good set of ports and power delivery. Instant buy assuming the price is sensible.
The 30” was our main display for work usage for nearly 10 years. They were tanks and even not being Retina, it didn’t matter. All my designers loved them. We didn’t love Apple’s dual link DVI adapter but that is another story.
Depending on the inputs I may buy a 24" to replace my aging fickery 23" Cinema Display I use for temporary setups. I'd need Displayport and/or HDMI.
*Zero* interest if it's Thunderbolt only.
LG currently makes a 24" 16:10 monitor that I'd already have bought 2 of if I could actually find one for sale.

I bought the huge LG UltraFine 5K two years ago and wow I was so disappointed. The lighting was uneven and there was no angle from which the entire display could be viewed with consistent tones. If you angled it so that the top would look good, the bottom would look grey and washed out. If you angled it so that the bottom didn't look washed out, then the top was grey. The whole thing was like looking into some weird iridescent hologram that made my brain hurt. I ended up returning it. Not too excited about LG displays.
Since I use dark mode everywhere I’m not a huge fan of mini LEDs and blooming. I’m hoping that Apple will manufacture double layer OLEDs and eventually move on to micro LEDs when they become available.
I can pretty much guarantee it will connect via a Thunderbolt cable and there will not be DP or HMDI inputs.
There is a decent chance it is a design harness / design mule for the chip that is going into the VR/AR googles that doesn't exist. That would allow a prototype "display" to work on something with similar horsepower to what would probably be done with less power.
Apple's "Universal Control" (that is delayed until Spring) is persuing a 'wireless KVM' path only it really only does 'keyboard and mouse'. There is no wireless 'video' part. Wireless video could be coupled to both the VR/AR goggles and some new high end monitor. ( probably would only work with other Apple devices . So bigger moat building).
Minimally the monitor would be an AirPlay target also. Perhaps something better if some leading edge wireless tech is looped in.
Why put a AirPlay ability into a monitor.
1. Apple 'hates' wires. And Apple monitors ( even the "back seat driver" Ultrafines ) all follow the design constraint of one, and only one . input. So this is actually a way to could hook up an Apple monitor to multiple Apple products that lines up with still satisfying the "no more wires" edict.
2. If they have worked on some tech for the AR/VR googles..... this would be a way to sell more of the SoCs. ( high volumes , better economies of scales. If selling $2K goggles then maybe $5 monitors can bump the volume up. )
3. Because they can.
Refigerators with monitors and wi-fi connection. A TV with Alexa built in. It is a nifty feature they can throw on it. [ The 9to5 folk has hyped about an internal GPU for the monitor. That seems quite doubtful to be a external GPU as an extension of a system (where driving the eGPU through the Thunderbolt connection. More likely it is a GPU of a self contained 'computer' in the monitor.
Two huge issue.
1. Apple has done nothing on eGPU on macOS on M-series. Zero effort. Apple is "all in" on unified memory GPUs.
2. how is the GPU in the monitor going to outclass the GPU in the M-series system? Say you stuck a iPhone or even M1 like GPU in the monitor. It wouldn't be as fast at the M1 ( longer and narrower data path isn't going to get you higher speed. )

I run a 27" 4k Dell and 24" 4k dell off of my 2018 MBP. One of the thunderbolt ports died. Meaning I have to either unplug a monitor to import camera photos, or buy a "dock".
I truly don't understand the decisions apple was making for a while there, removing all the ports from the MBPs (Yes, I use SD cards AND get paid for my photos - hence- a pro), essentially giving up on monitors, etc.
If they simply released a 5K 30" monitor with charging/data/ports via one cable, and it was under $2K, I'd buy it right now.

I would love to see an ETA for these displays. I'm in a market for a new one, but I am reluctant to buy the LG 5K (which is 5 years old) if I know that a reasonably priced Apple branded display with ProMotion is in the pipeline, but the article seems to indicate that the panels are still in early development, so probably not for a few months at the very least.
I would love something simmilar to the HUAWEI MateView's 4K+ Ultra-HD display but from Apple.

are the new mbp 2021's displays manufactured by LG as well?
i know there are 2 manufacturers but dunno who these are
very well hope BOE isnt one of them though
