Perfect monitor for USB-C MacBook Pro
on January 2, 2018
Posted by: cmbpro2017
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this monitor a month ago and have been very happy with it. The USB-C provided cable not only provides video/audio to the monitor but also charges the MacBook Pro keeping down cable clutter on the desktop. While it does not have any internal speakers, a rear 3.5mm jack easily connects to an external audio system which provides better quality than any internal speakers could possibly provide. I especially like the stylish thin border and brushed stand. Setup was a breeze.
Pros: Style/Design, ease of use, Features/Settings, Performance, Quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

Apple MacBook Pro 15" - Alright
on October 7, 2017
Posted by: Tizweed
from Louisville, KY
I purchased 2 of these monitors, after having purchased (and returned) the Apple approved 5K (Model: 27MD5KA-B.AUSA). These are fine and are basically 1/2 the price of the 5K version. The only thing they are missing are: 1) (of course) 5K; 2) No built in camera; 3) No built in speakers; 4) Cannot charge my 2016 MacBook Pro 15" - have to use the charging cable. I just couldn't justify the cost difference, and they both have the plastic look - miles away from my Apple Thunderbolt Display aluminum and glass finish. (oh, Apple, why did you desert us??) I do NOT like the White back (screams plastic - whereas with black, you're not really sure), or the White cords, which calls attention to them. I really wanted a clean-one cord USB-C solution, but when I realized that with any monitor (including the LG 5K that Apple sells), you would have to plug in one monitor to one side of the MBP and the other monitor into the other side of the MBP (no, you can't plug them into the same side), I figured, what's one more cord?
Pros: Features/Settings

A Game Changer
on August 14, 2017
Posted by: techknowlogically
from Houston, TX, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a 12 inch MacBook to use when on the road. Now as you can imagine this isn't exactly the best way to be productive when back in the office. Now hooking this incredible monitor up to my Macbook using ONE usb-c cable (also charges it at the same time) now my productivity is through the roof. Also to see how crisp every video, photo and the brightness is just incredible. It has caused multiple colleagues to follow suit and they are also delighted, A must buy!
Pros: Style/Design, Performance, Quality, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Monitor
on July 5, 2017
Posted by: Jared909
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't know why other people are complaining. Me and a colleague both have this monitor and it works perfectly! I have tried 3 other 4k monitors (Samsung, HP, Acer) but this one is the best! It works right out of the box. The stand is great. A lot of the other stands on most 4k monitors are cheap or not sturdy.
This monitor has the menu button on the bottom to switch inputs easily. I can switch between my MacPro connected with a DisplayPort cable, my 2016 MacBookPro 15" with touch bar using USB-C and a 2013 MacBookPro 15" with HDMI. No problems switching between them and all work great!
I have no wake problems, no flickering problems. Another cool feature that I haven't seen on any other 4k/UHD monitors is the extra USB 3 inputs. One has quick charge so I can charge a speaker, my phone or iPad.
The color is great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Junk, Won't Wake Up
on June 11, 2017
Posted by: Sunmonkey
from Aldie, VA, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this back in late December for my new Apple MBP w/ Touchbar. This monitor has been a nightmare: won't wake up from sleep, you can hear static discharge from the USB-C cable when you unplug it, flickering, turns off (or on) at strange times, self-adjusting brightness that always fails to please.
Do yourself a favor and buy something else. All that said, great picture when it chooses to work! About 10% of the time!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

4K that works great out of the box
on March 17, 2017
Posted by: Rexrcr
from Sugar Land, Texas, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought this monitor home expecting to have to do the usual configuration to get the resolution to 4k at 60Hz, but everything booted up at the proper resolution the first time. My monitor is connected to an HP Spectre x360 15.6".
Pros: Performance
I would recommend this to a friend!

YES! I did charge
on December 17, 2016
Posted by: Peter_CV
from Charlottesville, VA, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to go along with my new late 2016 MBP with usb-c. It does charge after the 10.12.2 update. Albeit, very slow but I don't care. One cable life rocks!
I do wish the USB was 3.1, but I can live with it 3.0 for what I needed.
Sound works as well.
