What people are saying

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great resolution and easy setup! I have only had this monitor for 18 days, but I am delighted so far! The adjustable stand has a nice range of positions, and the Thunderbolt cable charges my MacBook Pro, as well as giving it a big, beautiful screen.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Loved it until it stopped working after 18 months I bought this in January 2020 and it's been a great monitor until a couple days ago when it just stopped working. I've tried everything. Very disappointed considering how expensive the monitor is.
