This is not true. Many high end monitors do not support thunderbolt. Some high end monitors support thunderbolt, but you will have a smaller portion of monitors to select from.
Last year I spent four figures on a monitor that did not include thunderbolt. I'm looking at a new monitor this year, again four figures, and again no thunderbolt support.
- cma 3y agoApple has a thunderbolt one where the stand alone is 4 figures.
- Aloha 3y agoWith the correct series of adapters though, you can dang near connect anything to anything. (Other than HDMI source to DisplayPort Sink - that needs some special active thingy).
- Gigachad 3y agoUnless the monitor only has thunderbolt like the Apple ones in which case the only possible setup is a hdmi capture card which is both expensive and probably adds latency.
- 3np 3y agoCase in point: Eizo (which I'd consider one of the top manufacturers for serious use) do not do Thunderbolt at all AFAIK. The USB-C inputs only do DP.
