Thunderbolt: Display Alternatives - You Should Know These

Although Apple's Thunderbolt display arguably has its uses, you don't necessarily have to go for the high-priced model. There are other manufacturers that offer display alternatives that can meet your needs. These are compatible with other Apple products, which means you don't have to sacrifice anything.

You should know these alternatives

In addition to the price, the fact that Thunderbolt displays are now no longer state-of-the-art also plays a role.

• LG 29UC97-S: If you are looking for a display that has an ideal price-performance ratio, then you should try this model from LG. Although the resolution is slightly lower than that of the Thunderbolt, the connections are identical. The curved display also makes this variant very suitable for video games.
• Dell UltraSharp U2713HM: The price plays the decisive role for this display. Compared to the Thunderbolt, it is really cheap, and yet you do not have to do without high-quality hardware. In addition, both the resolution and the picture quality are comparable to that of the Thunderbolt. However, you have to do without Apple's characteristic ports.
• LG 34UC97-S: This display from LG is clearly superior to Apple's Thunderbolt. Not only is the hardware noticeably better, but the resolution as well as the picture quality is excellent. In addition, the familiar ports as well as two HDMI and one USB 3.0 port are available.

What should you choose?

Which alternative is the right one for you, you have to choose based on your priorities. Certainly, the price is also always a criterion, but these are all set lower compared to the Thunderbolt.
