The LG 27UD88-W’s main selling point for MacBook owners is its USB-C port, but there are several other ports to be found here. 4K monitors provide users with additional screen real estate while maintaining the sharpness of a Retina display. In a past post, I highlighted the benefits of using a 4K monitor, especially for those of you who are used to working on Retina displays. As a MacBook owner, the best you’re going to be able to experience is 4K at 30 Hz, unless you take advantage of the 4K 60 Hz patch. LG’s 27″ monitor is capable of displaying 4K (3840-by-2160) at 60 Hz. If you’re a MacBook owner, should you consider purchasing one? Have a look inside for the details. Its USB-C port allows MacBook owners to connect a single cable to drive the display, charge the machine, and facilitate data transfer.Īs I alluded to in my recent 2016 MacBook post, the 27UD88-W isn’t perfect, but it’s one of the only games in town if you desire a 4K monitor with USB-C connectivity in tow. LG’s 27UD88-W is a 27″ USB-C-enabled display. It seems that LG is one of the few display makers that has such a monitor available for sale. If you’re looking for a 4K display that can be paired with your 12″ MacBook via a single USB-C cable, then your options are fairly limited.
