The few other 5K display options on the market will require a dual-cable solution and adapters for use with the new MacBook Pro (and Mac Pro). This is your only Thunderbolt 3 option currently, which is likely why Apple collaborated with LG to make this new 5K display to launch alongside the 2016 MacBook Pros.Īpple’s latest version of its Thunderbolt technology, Thunderbolt 3, uses the same physical connector as USB-C, but it offers support for this display’s 27-inch 5120-by-2880 resolution, making it the only 5K monitor you can drive over a single Thunderbolt 3 cable (included). It’s available to order now from with a 5-6 week shipping estimate currently, but we’ve heard some Apple stores might have stock you can walk in and pick-up now.

Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C use the same physical connector, but Apple’s Thunderbolt 3 tech offers some perks for MacBook Pro users– 5K! LG Ultrafine 4K 21.5-inch ($524) With a Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C display, you’ll be able to use a single cable to hook up to your MacBook Pro or 12-inch MacBook, and forgo the need for adapters that will be necessary for other displays. These are the best 4K and 5K USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 displays available so far: That goes not only for MacBook Pro or 12-inch MacBook users, but also anyone who wants to be future-proofed as Apple moves to Thunderbolt 3 on other devices going forward (most displays have HDMI and/or DisplayPort for your other Macs). We already gave you the rundown on requirements for connecting your old DisplayPort and HDMI displays to the new MacBook Pro, and if you need a new monitor now, the best option going forward is probably to go all-in on USB-C.
