I'd like a higher refresh rate (120 hz scrolling feels so much better) and, if at all possible, same HDR capabilities, or at least truer blacks. And preferably also glossy finish.

Unfortunately, Apple uses Thunderbolt, and they're the only ones who do 5k/6k. We absolutely have the bandwidth for 5k120 over DisplayPort, but Apple insists on sticking to Thunderbolt.

Isn't Thunderbolt 4 supposed to support some ridiculous bandwidth too, like tens of gigabits or something?

[throwaway684936]

5k120 is 57.08Gbps, Thunderbolt 4 is 40Gbps. Not enough without compression.

Of course this is a rumor, but if true, they can somehow make it work.

I thought thunderbolt used DP for video.

Thunderbolt doesn't use DP for video when in Thunderbolt mode.
