My first impression of the LG was pretty positive.
For someone who works with video all the time or with photos, editing, it's kind of nice to have.

Colors are popping, saturation is the number one word that comes to mind.

So you have the thunderbolt 3. So you can charge the laptop over single cable which gets you extra usb-c port on the monitor.

So picture quality is A+.

I have the latest MacBook Pro - Can I buy two and use them in tandem as a dual monitor set? Do the monitors daisy chain?
- Asked by Ryan B from New Gloucester
- on 24/02/2018
Answer
You can buy 2,3, or 4 and use them in tandem. They do not daisy chain though. The LG 4K display d You can buy 2,3, or 4 and use them in tandem. They do not daisy chain though. The LG 4K display does not have a DisplayPort output to support daisy chaining. The LG 4K is a USB-C display (USB-C with DisplayPort alt mode, using DisplayPort 1.2 (4 lanes), and USB 2.0). I don't know if macOS supports DisplayPort MST (for daisy chaining displays using DisplayPort). The MacBook Pro supports DisplayPort 1.2 which can't support more than one 4K 60 Hz display anyway. Each side of the MacBook Pro (left side and right side) can support two displays. The MacBook Pro 15 inch allows up to four 4K displays. The MacBook Pro 13 inch allows two 4K displays. Thunderbolt 3 can support two 4K 60 Hz displays from a single port using Thunderbolt display daisy chaining, a Thunderbolt 3 to Dual DisplayPort or HDMI 2.0 adapter, or a Thunderbolt 3 dock. However, I am unaware of any Thunderbolt 3 product that has more than one USB-C port with DisplayPort alt mode (required for USB-C displays like the LG 4K). It might be possible to use an LG 4K with DisplayPort only (no USB) by using a USB-C to DisplayPort cable, but then any functions of the display that require USB will not be usable (audio, brightness control, USB hub). Brightness control may be possible using an app that uses DDC/CI. To get two ports supporting USB-C with DisplayPort alt mode from a single Thunderbolt 3 port (so you can use the other 3 ports for other stuff), you need the following: 1) two Sunix UPD2018 or two Delock 89582 (PCIe USB 3.1 gen 2 host controller with USB-C DisplayPort alt mode port). 2) one Thunderbolt 3 PCIe expansion box with two or more slots such as the Sonnet Echo Express SE III, or two Thunderbolt 3 PCIe expansion boxes each with one slot such as the Sonnet Echo Express SEL (Thunderbolt 3 Edition). 3) one Thunderbolt 3 to Dual DisplayPort adapter such as the one made by Sonnet (not all Thunderbolt 3 products are Mac compatible so check the manufacturer's specs).

Can Is there a way to use this monitor with an hdmi only computer? or how could i plug in my hdmi PlayStation to the USB-C connection?

Answer
Quick answer: no. Long answer: yes, but it's very expensive and might not work: The LG UltraFi Quick answer: no. Long answer: yes, but it's very expensive and might not work: The LG UltraFine 5K display is a Thunderbolt 3 display. To connect to a Playstation, you need the following: 1) one HDMI 2.0 to DisplayPort 1.2 adapter such as the one from SIIG ($200). 2) one Thunderbolt 3 add-in card such as the GC-ALPINE RIDGE (converts DisplayPort 1.2 to Thunderbolt 3) ($56). 3) one PCIe slot (to power the Thunderbolt 3 add-in card) such as a PCIe slot provided by the IT-GO "ADP-099-31" ($140), or by a PC that has an empty PCIe slot ($???). The lowest resolution supported by the LG 5K is 2560x1440p 60 Hz. A less expensive HDMI 1.4 to DisplayPort 1.2 adapter ($104) should work in that case, but a normal PS4 only supports up to 1080p so you'll need at least a PS4 Pro. The HDMI 2.0 to DisplayPort 1.2 adapter might only support HDCP 1.4 instead of HDCP 2.2, so some content in some apps might not be playable. The LG 5K requires that the Thunderbolt 3 add-in card be in a computer that has full support of the card to use functions of the display that depend on communicating with the USB controller in the display through the Thunderbolt connection (the functions are: audio, camera, USB ports, and brightness control). A computer that does not have full support of the Thunderbolt 3 add-in card can still provide power to enable at least the add-in card's DisplayPort 1.2 to Thunderbolt 3 conversion process.
