I'm looking to finally get a true USB-C or Thunderbolt monitor. Tired of using the adapters to go from the DVI connection to USB-C/Thunderbolt. Will a new monitor with a true USB-C/Thunderbolt direct connection to the MacBook provide sufficient power to the 16 inch and 14 inch MacBook Pro? If so, then do I believe I do not need to connect the MagSafe power or Thunderbolt 4 power cord to the MacBook itself. I don't see any monitors that provide the 140W like the Apple supplied power brick for the 16in does. Also, any good monitor recommendations? I'd then like to daisy chan two of the same monitors so I can just have onle plug into the MacBook Pro to deliver power and to drive the graphics to the screen. Hoping this is possible? Any recommendations for which monitors to look towards considering?
