Just because Apple has stopped selling the UltraFine 5K doesn’t mean it has given up on LG’s monitors altogether. Apple resurrected the UltraFine 4K Display, the one made in partnership with LG, as a 23.7-inch model with two new Thunderbolt 3 ports (as well as three vanilla USB-C sockets) around back. It costs the same as the previous 21.5-inch model: $699. But this one takes a hit on resolution, dropping down to 3840 x 2160 from 4096 x 2304. That said, with a pair of Thunderbolt 3 ports, you can now hook up an additional monitor or Thunderbolt 3 external drive if you like.
It’s not clear whether bringing back the LG UltraFine 4K says anything significant about the rumored 6K monitor. If anything, it suggests we may not hear about it for some time at least not until Apple is ready to take the wraps off its much-anticipated Mac Pro redesign.
