You might want to look at the LG UltraFine 27MD5KLB-B 27" 16:9 5K IPS Monitor (I know that’s a mouthful). It uses the same panel as the Studio Display, but at this moment, it’s only $850 at B&H. I’ve purchased a few and the quality seems on-par with Apple.
Another option, which I utilize at every opportunity is to purchase Apple refurbs. Standard Studio Display is $1,359. Pretty much everything I’ve purchased for my clients is from the refurb store. You just have to wait 3-6 months from introduction, but the refurbs offer immediate delivery of a higher RAM or larger SSD configuration, assuming it’s available at your time of need.
Just a few additional things to consider.
