The expensive Thunderbolt display from Apple is clearly getting old. We show you three chic alternatives to the Apple screen.
The price-performance winner: LG 29UC97-S as an alternative to Apple's Thunderbolt display
Despite its lower price, the LG 29UC97-S doesn't have to hide behind Apple's Thunderbolt display. The 29-inch monitor from LG has a resolution of 2, 560 x 1, 080 pixels, which is only slightly less than Apple's competition. You don't have to do without the Thunderbolt 2 ports of the Apple display on the LG monitor either. It is also a real eye-catcher with its chic design, curved display and 21: 9 page format.
The affordable alternative: Dell UltraSharp U2713HM
The Dell UltraSharp U2713HM is not only a real bargain in contrast to Apple's Thunderbolt display, but also offers considerable hardware. With a screen size of 27 inches and a resolution of 2, 560 x 1, 440, the Dell monitor is absolutely comparable to the expensive Apple monitor. The image quality does not suffer from the low price. The Dell display does not have a practical Thunderbolt connection.
Superior in all points: LG 34UC97-S
With a strong picture, good features and an attractive design, the LG 34UC97-S is clearly superior to Apple's Thunderbolt display. For example, LG has installed a 34-inch curved display with an outstanding resolution of 3, 440 x 1, 440 and an aspect ratio of 21: 9, which is perfect for professional work and effective multitasking. High-quality materials and thin display edges ensure an elegant look. The LG alternative can easily keep up with the connections with the Thunderbolt display: The LG 34UC97-S offers two HDMI and one USB 3.0 port as well as two Thunderbolt 2 connections.
