This is a great article. Even if you disagree with the conclusion and recommendation, it shows what you need to look out for when buying a monitor.
I had to go through a similar exercise recently. The DisplayPort / USB-C / Thunderbolt story is just insane. I was looking for a monitor to use with both MacOS and Windows. HDMI can't do 4k @ 60Hz, DisplayPort cables never tell you which version they support.
I ended up with LG UHD 4K 27UL650, which I'm very happy with, but switching between Mac and Windows is still difficult, because this monitor only has 1 DisplayPort input. I've settled to using HDMI for Mac and 30Hz instead of switching cables all the time.
Improvement in experience is very subjective but I agree with the author on everything except maybe the 120Hz.
- city41 6y agoHave you considered a KVM switch? I really like mine. It allows up to four computers leaving me with two extras that sometimes come in handy (plugging in someone else's laptop or sometimes I connect my Raspberry Pi on).

- city41 6y agoI can't find the one I bought anymore. Seems they may have discontinued it. It was basically the same as this one, except with 4 ports instead of 2 https://www.amazon.com/JideTech-Keyboard-Security-Education-Conference/dp/B07C5G1XFJ/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=JideTech+KVM+Switch+HDMI+4+Port+USB+Keyboard+Video+Mouse&qid=1593621353&sr=8-2 https://www.amazon.com/JideTech-Keyboard-Security-Education-... FWIW, the first one I got was defective, but the replacement has worked like a champ.
