Attention Macbook users, buy the official Apple Thunderbolt 3 cable! The supplied USB-C cable is a problem!

UPDATE: It's been a few days now and the monitor is now having trouble waking up, even with the Apple Thunderbolt 3 cable. Pretty disappointing as it is otherwise a very good monitor. This monitor is very good. I like the stand and the picture quality. I use it with a 2019 MacBook Pro 15 and initially had problems with the included USB-C cable, which was also reported by many other users. Whenever I unplugged the MacBook from the monitor and then plugged it back in, the monitor didn't recognize the source was connected until I physically unplugged and plugged the monitor back in. Pressing the button on the monitor to turn it on and off did nothing. It won't wake you up on its own. It had to be completely disconnected from the wall and reconnected for the source to be recognized as interfering! I decided to buy an Apple Thunderbolt 3 cable to see if that would help. This solved the problem 100 percent. Now it works perfectly without any problems. This is the solution for those who are having problems. Unfortunately, this cable costs $40 and is much needed by us MacBook users, but I got the monitor for such a low price that I don't mind. This monitor is great, especially for the price. And the stand is of very good quality. After replacing the cable, I can now recommend this monitor without hesitation. I just wish there was a better quality cable in the box. For those having trouble using their MacBook with this monitor, BUY THE APPLE THUNDERBOLT 3 CABLE
