Hi,

I'm looking for an external monitor to go along with my MBP 13 TB. Would like to hear your opinion(s) and suggestions.

My shortlist for monitors compatible with the MBP 13 TB are:
(1) LG Ultrafine 4K (PC3) and
(2) LG 27UD88 (sRGB).

My main uses are:
(1) for photo editing,
(2) development of a web portal(s),
(3) occasional video editing.

Based on my uses above, everything points to a high quality sRGB monitor. However, there are things I like and dislike for both monitors, which make the decision even harder.

(1) LG Ultrafine 4K (PC3)
Like
  1. Cheaper than LG27UD88
  2. Wide gamut (which may not necessary for my purposes)
  3. color calibrated with MBP 13 TB
  4. 4K
Dislike
  1. The hub comprises of USB-C hence not backward compatible.

(2) LG 27UD88 (sRGB)
Like
  1. 27"
  2. Hub comprises USB2.0 hence backward compatible
Dislike
  1. More expensive
  2. UHD
  3. sRGB (~99%) - not yet 100%
  4. Had some issues with color accuracy out of the box.
