Looks like it's pretty close to 2.0, just tightens up cable marking (since there are 40Gb and 80Gb cables - it makes the difference more obvious), and tightens integration with DP over USB C.
 
Still very nice. Borderline high end data center cable bandwidth at this point. Imagine if you could use thst connection to just move data. I wonder how noisy it is.
 
Seems like it is mostly USB stuff which is uninteresting to me.

USB-C connectors - while great in the respect that they are easy to plug in compared to USB-A are not really robust. I prefer connectors that either click or screw into place such that they are non-trivial to accidentally remove. Because of this I don't use USB beyond basic stuff, and I really don't want a future where "everything is USB".

I'd probably not buy a monitor if it didn't have traditional non-USB connectors. Same for a video card or laptop.
