GadgetGuys’s take. Thunderbolt 3 QLED monitors – what a great combo
GadgetGuy reviewed the massive 49” QLED monitor (sans Thunderbolt 3) and apart from being ‘bloody
But as Thunderbolt 3 takes off (it is part of almost all Intel 8th generation Core laptops and PCs as well as Mac) there is a demand for Thunderbolt 3 equipped screens. These act as a dock as well.
We look forward to reviewing these new additions.
