    New Apple 5k display - should I be excited?

    I use the old -- let's be real and say very, very old -- Apple Thunderbolt display both at home and at work. New macs are exciting, but the rumored 5K display is nirvana to me.

    Is it still worth it to buy a used thunderbolt display in 2016?

    I'm currently looking to buy a used one for about $350. But was wondering if the tech is really old and I could just add a couple more to buy a new non apple display that is around 2014-2016 model. Thanks.

    ** UPDATE ** The "sleep" under the apple menu works! Choosing it to put to sleep has no adverse impacts -- only the Power Saving and the Sleep Hot Corners disconnect my power and TB Display. *** I have a 15" Macbook Pro Retina early 2013, 2.7, i7 with 16GM and 256 SSD. I have an external 27"...
