I'm right there with you. I gave my ATD to my wife when I assumed that there would be a display refresh last summer. I have a 15" rMPB, so it's not like I'm suffering but I just can't pull the trigger on another ATD after waiting this long, not even for the $799 refurb price. I don't even care that much about 5K but USB2 is a no go at this point.
Got a tip for us?

Oh yeah, my 2012 13" MacBook Air. I have a Svalt D Cooling Dock that I set it in to do updates and backups on the iMac screen in wireless Screen Sharing mode. It's not really part of the core setup, everything is connected to the iMac.
The panel on the desk is the control panel for the treadmill for when the motorized desk is raised.

I just installed my new Thunderbolt display. What do you think?
I received my new desk, display and chair this week.
I thinking buy the same H. Miller chair and same desk, since your post 2013, do you still recommend both or you change for other chair and desk?
Looking forward to new TB displays hopefully at 5K. I hope Apple can come back with matte displays but I am not holding my breath. I have the ACD matte ones and every time I use one of the glossy new ones I shake my head. So much glare and reflections from any light background. I like to work with my windows opens and light in the room and it is just a pain using the glossy displays.
Come on Apple, time to upgrade displays.

same here... waiting for a upgrade Apple TB...
I don't understand why they can release an iMac 5K and not the Display... well Im not an expert, 5K too expensive for this age? anyway, I wait...
I totally agree... Especially when apple release the new Mac Pro machines and users that want to work on ultra high definition content have to buy a third manufacturer monitor(
(
The issue is Thunderbolt 3 is not available. My hope Apple is waiting for Skylake to release update TB displays.
Excellent setup, I am actually looking to get a thunderbolt display but want to get a new table first.
Can you share which table are you using and what are the dimensions? A Front on view would be great
I previously posted a photo of my dual TB standing desk setup (https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...a-display-setup.1233542/page-32#post-20639002). A few months ago I upgraded my standing desk to a motorized adjustable desk and reworked my workstation.

Just bumping this thread! Been a while, kryten42, have you mounted your display's?
Would love to see how it ended up looking!
