Video Idea - USB C Monitors

Hey community (and hopefully somebody from LTT)

I would absolutely love to see Linus review a USB-C monitor given that so many laptops have Thunderbolt 3 now, and given that USB docks are increasingly expensive, USB-C monitors are good one-port-does-it-all as it can act as a USB hub, charge (maybe) and also connect the laptop to the external monitor. 

Some USB-C monitors out right now include the Acer H277HU and the Lenovo ThinkVision x1 27" monitor.

I would love to see Linus test it out with the Dell XPS 15 that he received and his thoughts.

Any way this can actually be considered and would reach somebody from LTT? 

What are your opinions?

Yeah, I didn't know they were a thing either!

Yeah! I was interested after I found out the thunderbolt dock from Dell was $400 and the razer core was $700! Definitely a hard pill to swallow just for a usb hub that charges.
