Not the best monitor for Mac

I use this monitor with the M1 Mac Mini and it has so many problems. It looks cheap. When you touch it, it seems like it's coming apart at the seams. Sometimes it just creaks like an old house "seating" (that happened while I was writing this). It rarely turns on when you want it to, preferring to pretend it doesn't recognize that any devices are connected. Usually you have to go through the ritual of changing the input, turning the monitor on and off, and/or plugging and unplugging the cable…

The monitor is ideal for working - setting up your MacBook

I replaced an old 24 inch Dell monitor with this one. It works fantastic with one small flaw to be aware of. Sometimes it's a bit set to recognize my MacBook Pro via USB-C. The MacBook Pro recognizes the monitor for a second, but the monitor goes to sleep and receives no signal. I can switch USB-C ports on my MacBook, restart MacBook, new cable, power button on monitor: same problem. The solution is to disconnect and reconnect the power supply to the monitor. Fixed it every time. This has…

Comfortable seller

I just bought the same monitor here to set up 2 monitors. Unfortunately, the monitor doesn't even turn on when I set it up. The seller was kind enough to give me a full refund.

Good crisp text and rich, warm colors that convey accurately

I've put off buying a new monitor for a number of years because of concerns about the sharpness of new monitors. Well, not only does this monitor deliver crisp text, it also displays rich, warm colors that are as lifelike as anything I've seen on my 2007 HP monitor.

Ok monitor - my new test

I will compare this to my other monitor, the Asus MX27AQ and my previous Dell U2415 monitor. I needed a second monitor but wanted a 25" 2K screen as the 27" screen is too big for my office. Mac Compatibility: All 3 work well with my 2018 Mac Mini. Asus has 3 color calibration profiles while Dell has 10. Calibration. Out of the box, the Dell U2520D has the smoothest color calibration I've seen. After spending 2 hours tweaking the settings, I think I finally got what I wanted. For comparison…

Solid choice, good for me

Incredible monitor, viewing angles, sharpness, colors and I/O. Only true that the input is sometimes incorrect and not recognized, but after some fiddling the problem is fixed

Unlike the first monitor order I received

The first set of monitors I bought came in their original packaging and were brand new. This last shipment: a) came in refurbished packaging, b) all extra cables (USB to USB) were missing

Clean installation solution.

An affordable USB-C monitor capable of delivering 90W of power to my Mac Book Pro. I like the one cable solution for laptop and first monitor. The second monitor is connected to the display port of the first monitor. Furnished very clean. I would have preferred a 4 to 3 aspect ratio for work, but the choices are very shallow if you need 90W USB-C output.

Great office monitor

Great office monitor. The U2718Q was sold out and I needed another monitor and this one has the same stand and the HD quality is very good.

Works great with a zipper and daisy chain

Bought two of these monitors, everything is fine. 25 inches is a bit small for 1440p, but if you sit close enough it's not too bad. Use them with an HP Elitebook and they connect great via Thunderbolt and daisy chain DisplayPort. I even used the built in USB hub for the webcam. I saved money for a USB-C dock.

David Strickler, President, L&N Transportation

The power connections to the monitors are so lost that you just accidentally touch the cord and they fall out. No energy. It's really frustrating for the price paid for nine of them. Do you think they will have a stronger bond?
