I don't follow the Apple's product news too much, but I was really hoping for the announcement of a new Thunderbolt display now that they have discontinued the current generation (which had been around since 2011).

I, too, worried about a new display. However, I recently purchased a Dell P2715Q[0] and I LOVE it. I think I like it even more than my Apple Cinema Display. The only thing it doesn't have (that I miss) is the integrated Apple MagSafe2 power supply and Thunderbolt bus. I guess that's 2 things. :/

Have the same display. I got an open box at MicroCenter for a crazy cheap price, like $360 I think.

Nice thing about Thunderbolt is that you could hook 2 up at 60hz. I know if I run 2 at 4k, one will be 30hz; haven't seen a good answer if I run at a lower res. 4k is too small anyways (when I had it paired with a TB, I was able to run both at 60)

I do miss the webcam, but am happy with USB 3 instead of 2. As for the integrated power, I miss that, but this monitor + an extra power adapter is still $300 or so cheaper than the TB. :-)

A new display is rumored to be incoming.
