"You didn't mention a MacBook Pro M4 Max but that's another option that's even better on the space front."
"I will suggest you Option 4: - Mac Studio M4 Max with 64GB of unified memory."
"Performance wise I think you will really appreciate the M3 Ultra compared to the M4 Max."
"Upgrade to a Mac Studio/macbook air combo"
"Studio Display! its like pairing Jam with Peanut Butter"
"Studio display is no1 choice"
"Mac Studio M2 Max is a beast. You can watch 8K youtube videos with no lag and 4K video editing with no lag."
"Great for editing, motion graphics, and 3D rendering."
"Despite the price difference, I almost never notice any difference in performance."
"The M1 Max chip with 64Gb of memory is more than sufficient for my needs."

"I use the 42" LG C2, and I love it."
"I use an LG OLED as my client monitor. Love it."
"Just go with the LG 5K Expensive Edition…aka Studio Display. You pay a premium over the LG but you gain build quality."
"Studio Display’s speakers is much better than LG’s but if you use AirPods then don’t need to worry about it. Good for gaming but I doubt it’s color accuracy."
