LG 27UK850. Can't recommend it enough! It's a 4K IPS display and it connects to my Macbook Pro with one USB-C cable and has its own USB hub. Perfect setup if you ask me!
Hey Kyle! One thing that makes XD hard to adopt for me is the lack of productivity shortcuts. Things like Sketch's layer traversing shortcuts (tab, shift+tab to go up and down the layer hierarchy; return and esc to go in and out of groups; CMD+R for renaming) make it very fast to perform certain actions without having to rely on the mouse. Figma already adopted these shortcuts and they made it feel instantly familiar.
I will not judge XD now as it's in beta (it sucks) but once Adobe pushes a final release it's going to be worth a try. But at the moment for rapid UI design and prototyping nothing beats Sketch. So far Sketch has been a low-cost, easy-to-learn solution for practically anybody. It also integrates in the development process really nicely as every developer I have seen prefers to use it as well. In my opinion, Adobe will win over with these points: 1. Adobe CC integration 2. Speed But they may struggle with these points that Sketch excels at: 1. Price 2. Plugin support 3. Integration with development
