Apple always wants a premium for their accessories, so I suspect there are plenty of lesser expensive options with just as good or better quality when it comes to displays.
For myself, if I get another display sometime in the future it will need to be 10-bit or better capable, that is, capable of accurately displaying 1 billion colors. Most of what I do as far as photography is designed to be viewed on monitors and TVs, not to be printed, so a 4K or higher monitor will be best. I keep my files down to 4K size resolution because 8K TVs are rare, and I suspect 8K will never really catch on any time soon. To get any benefit out of 8K you would need to sit very close to the TV, and that really isn't practical for most people. Even 4K requires us to sit too close in order to see all the detail, but since HD doesn't support HDR and 10-bit color, a 4K HDR TV can still provide a much better viewing experience than an HD TV even from across the room. I think 8K won't improve over that experience, at least not at this time. So for my files, 4K resolution is all I need, so a 4K monitor is sufficient, but of course 5K would be nice too! But again, the monitor must be accurate in displaying colors else I’m going to screw up my work.
