While there are some workarounds which I will go through in another post, it’s not great and requires extra software running. While it works pretty well, there is a big issue: you can’t control the volume from macOS, because it doesn’t support the protocol that allows that. The speakers included with the monitor are terrible, as expected, but fortunately, there is an audio jack at the back of the monitor. I don’t want to plug an extra cable to it, be it jack or USB, because it would kind of ruin the whole purpose of this setup. Indeed, I want sound, especially since my Macbook is resting closed on a stand now. I had a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse, but I had to plug my speakers to a USB DAC. However, unless your setup is fully wireless, you might to plug some stuff in. The USB-C feature worked as expected: plug the included USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 cable to the monitor and the Mac, and voilà, the display is powered through DisplayPort at, and the Macbook charges at up to 60W. The contrast is very good for an IPS panel, but it’s still IPS. I wasn’t disappointed with the panel itself, which is incredibly sharp. I bought this monitor for €550, so it’s clearly a high-end monitor. It’s been described a the best USB-C monitor or the best monitor for Macbooks. Or the version that preceded it but that’s nearly identical, the 27UK850. After reading and watching some reviews, it was clear to me that the monitor in that category was the LG 27UL850. There isn’t actually that many monitors with a USB-C port, and those that have one are significantly higher priced.

I have a Macbook Pro and I’m stuck with USB-C anyway, so I better only have one cable to plug. I was looking for a 27" 4K UHD monitor and I realised it would be nice to get rid of most of my cables and get everything through USB-C, including charging.
