There currently isn't a single external display with a screen as good as the current iMac (that is, 5k resolution, P3 color). It's a sure bet that the next Apple display will match that. The last Thunderbolt Display had USBs, ethernet, additional thunderbolt, even Firewire, and I use all of them. I can scarcely find a third-party Thunderbolt (not Displayport, Thunderbolt) display that has more than a couple USB ports, let alone the rest. Believe me, I'd love to settle for a cheaper Dell, but as soon as you throw in a serious Thunderbolt dock (they start at $200), you're spending nearly as much, and now you've got some clunky lunchbox on top of your desk to boot. I don't see any signs that the market won't repeat this pattern.
