And with seamless macOS integration, you can control volume and brightness on your 4K display without the need for physical buttons.

    Use the adjustable stand to create a personalised environment for work or play. Or disconnect the stand and mount the display on your preferred VESA arm using the provided VESA cover.

      Great screen and build quality, but screen blanks out every few seconds

      The whole screen goes black for about a second every 8-12 seconds - not triggered by anything like keyboard input or trackpad. Problem is solved temporarily by The whole screen goes black for about a second every 8-12 seconds - not triggered by anything like keyboard input or trackpad. Problem is solved temporarily by rebooting with LG display plugged into MacBook 2016, until MacBook goes to sleep or you unplug and replug when problem restarts.

      Terrible product - Avoid

      This Monitor will black out every 10 seconds. Having spoken to both Apple support and LG support they both have yet to receive any information on this product. This Monitor will black out every 10 seconds. Having spoken to both Apple support and LG support they both have yet to receive any information on this product. LG's advice was just to return it to apple as they have never seen one and none of there support use Apple products. Apples advice was you have 14days to return it. This is the first time I have ordered a product via Apple's website and felt let down by it. Save your time and money and avoid this until they solve the issue.

In my opinion the iss This issue also occurs with my Philips USB-c connected screen and with some monitors/projectors when using apple's USB-c display adaptors. In my opinion the issue relates to the display port over USB-c implementation rather than the screens. It still requires Apple to fix the issue though given increasing number of new USB-C based MacBook Pro users

      4K Ultrafine for Graphic Design

      I had been working for a year or so on my MacBook Pro 2016 and had meant to buy the 4k screen back in 2016 when it was on offer however, I ran out of cash. 18 m I had been working for a year or so on my MacBook Pro 2016 and had meant to buy the 4k screen back in 2016 when it was on offer however, I ran out of cash. 18 months on, working solely on the 15" MacBook Pro Screen (which was fine for most things) I could finally afford a bigger screen. I wanted USB C and I wanted hassle free. I looked at everything, HP, DELL, other LG screens but the fact that this was an Apple collaboration with LG made the difference. I bought the screen plus the bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse 2 through Apple Business. Plugged in.. GO.. the screen is amazing, I was worried it wasn't big enough as it looks quite small in the picture but it's definitely big enough for all your Adobe CC palettes so don't worry. It unplugs/plugs back in fine, my 2 USB 2 drives work fine from the MacBook Pro. No issues. PLus for YouTube etc it's awesome, It's solid. Buy one. You won't be disappointed.

      Love it, great for connecting to mbp

      I use this with my 2018 quad 13" MBP. It works perfectly. I use it in clamshell mode, when i get to the office I just connect it via the USB-c cable and it cha I use this with my 2018 quad 13" MBP. It works perfectly. I use it in clamshell mode, when i get to the office I just connect it via the USB-c cable and it charges my MBP and shows an awesome picture. The image quality is very good. As good at least as my old 2017 iMac. No heating issues using this in 4k mode with my 13". The only complaint is that the built-in speakers aren't great. Also, the USB-c are only USB 2 speed. I guess I'd also have liked a headphone socket but oh well. This plus the top 13" works far better for me than a 15" at the same price. Very happy.

      An absolutely stunning display

Perhaps I'm lucky but, for me, it's been an absolute I wanted a screen for my MacBook Pro and bought this with some trepidation due to several negative reviews. Perhaps I'm lucky but, for me, it's been an absolute dream and perhaps one of the best pieces of computer equipment I've ever bought. • Unbox monitor • Plug it in • Connect the supplied USB-C cable to the MacBook Pro • Hey presto! Monitor comes to life with the most amazing image quality. Not only that, it charges the laptop as well. Unplug the laptop and the monitor automatically turns off. Love that, too. One thing to bear in mind is that the audio output automatically switched from the MacBook Pro to the monitor (at full volume) so that shocked me when an e-mail came in. Simple to change that in System Prefs of course. But really, it's a stunning piece of kit. Very solidly built and really, the picture is just amazing.
