Hello!

I am trying to help my mother in law out....


... she has a Macbook Pro, 13" Retina 3.3. She does a lot of writing about film, and would like a monitor that she can use for both writing as well as watching film.

My initial suggestion was one of the new lg 5k monitors, but can it work with this macook pro?
Are there any other suggestions?

Ideally the monitor will have the following qualities:
-Pixel density good for writing
-overall diagonal dimension good for film (greater than 30" possible?)
-built in camera, speakers, etc.


Does such a thing exist?

Perhaps I should advise her to get a just retired 27" apple monitor, and a seperate monitor just for film?

Any suggestions help tremendously,
Thank you,
Richard
