The new 5k monitor display[1] not only connects with a USB-C but it also provides charging power (85W) to the Macbook at the same time.

Plus, it has an additional 3 USB-C ports, meaning you plug one cable in to your Macbook Pro, and you are left with a total of 6 USB-C slots free, which you don't need because power is provided over the same cable anyway...

I wish it had an Ethernet port and a couple of legacy USB ports on the back to avoid the mess and cost of dongles.

The old Apple Lightning Display was a nice everything-dock.


Here in Europe we have the Philips Brilliance 258B6QUEB http://www.philips.co.uk/c-p/258B6QUEB_00/brilliance-lcd-mon...

It has exactly what you want: hook it up with USB-C, and on the back it has ethernet, three USB-A, audio in and audio out. Fantastic thing. Resolution is 2560x1440. http://images.philips.com/is/image/PhilipsConsumer/258B6QUEB...


There are a ton of good T-Bolt 3 dock options out there, none provide power at the moment, but I'm sure someone will have one on the market shortly.
