One of the things I've learned too late is that using DisplayPort (and maybe HDMI, idk) anywhere near its bandwidth limits is not worth it for me. Having to think about cable run lengths as well as cable quality and peripheral quirks and internal Thunderbolt dock bandwidth allocation and so on and so on just fucking sucks.
It'll probably take until the next/latest (2.1) generation of DisplayPort propagates before using multiple monitors with specs similar to my current ones (high refresh rate and HDR, but not even HiDPI) isn't painful, cumbersome, and finicky.
I probably won't be able to use them by then anyway. Ugh.
