" ... I like that it has the usb-c connection so I can just use a usb-c cord to connect directly to my 2018 macbook pro (the kind with 4 USB-C ports) with no data loss. ... "
" ... Thought I would try ONE MORE TIME and purchased a Cable Matters Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt) to DisplayPort Cable (Search for ASIN B00C7RJQPY) cable and this ended up being just the trick! ... Although the MiniDP and Thunderbolt have the same form factor and are interchangeable in most respects, the older MacBooks like mine could not get the monitor to display in full 2560 x1080 no matter what I tried (even using display/resolution mod apps from the Apple App Store). ... If you have an older MacBook and a new ultrawide monitor, get the proper cable (like the one I mention above)!! ... "
" ... The monitor came with a DisplayPort cable that supports HDR10, so that was a welcome addition. ... "
" ... I mainly game with my Xbox on it but do use the display port to connect my MacBook to it which works perfect. ... "
" ... I wanted it to have USB-C capabilities for the simplicity of cable management and I wanted it to be curved screen because it seemed to friendlier and more involving when sitting in front of it. ... "
" ... I have a newer macbook pro with USB-C connectivity. ... Was looking for a cheaper USB-C 34" Monitor, and purchased this as it was a great deal. ... "
" ... There are few widescreen USB-C monitors, especially at this price point, but this looked like it was the best monitor for the money out there, so I bought it. ... What I had hoped for was that this monitor could provide a true single-cable heaven between the monitor and my 2017 MacBook Pro. ... The ideal scenario is I could plug my USB peripherals into the back of this monitor, plug the USB-C directly from the monitor to my MBP, and my MBP would get charged and also provide video to this monitor. ... Second, the USB-C cable does carry video perfectly from the MBP to the monitor, and while it does provide power to the MBP, it does not provide enough power to keep it fully charged. ... So, on day 2, I have come up with my own one-cable-to-rule-them-all: I hook up the MBP power USB-C to the USB-C on the adapter, I plug the keyboard/mouse USB receiver into the adapter, and I plug an HDMI cable from the adapter to the monitor. ... Then, I plug the single USB-C connector from the adapter to the MBP, and wala, I have everything I need finally. ... "
" ... The USB C connection is awesome to say the least, it makes for a very clean and neat hook up. ... "

" ... Even though the primary aspects of gaming monitors are response time and refresh rate, this monutor's picture quality is superb as well. ... And if you have an AMD graphics card, you won't be getting any Netflix HDR. ... There are probably cheaper 144 Hz monitor, but I think the 10 bit color and HDR 10 of this could justify the price for you. ... "
" ... Bought this for my Mac Air and it sets immediately as 2560 x 1080. ... "
" ... I can fit a lot more windows on a 32 inch screen with a decent resolution. ... "

" ... It is 1080p, but honestly it looks awesome at 1080p. ... "
" ... If you're ok with 1080p gaming, then you'll be fine with this monitor. ... "
" ... No it's not 4k but that's just fine:) Colors are nice and no backlight bleed. ... "
