Exactly - it's too expensive and at this point I am not sure how future proof this investment would be. Are we going to have a new USB-C cable in a year's time that my next monitor will require?..

Edit: different devices add even more to this confusion. My MacBook Pro M1 is refusing to work with a 4K USB-C monitor even when using a Thunderbolt 4 cable. LG is convinced that it should be working just fine.
