Review on ViewSonic VP3268A 4K Ergonomic DisplayPort Professional Monitor, 3840X2160P Resolution, Cable Lock Slot, Anti-Glare, 3H Surface Hardness, On-Screen Display (OSD), ‎VP3268A-4K, HDMI, HD, 4K by Jason Kuntz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good 4K monitor, but USB hub and ethernet don't work well with MBP.

I have a new M1 Max Apple 16-inch MacBook Pro and while this screen is very good, it's not as versatile as I was hoping. On the plus side, the screen is huge (32-inch 4K resolution) and the ability to rotate the screen between landscape and portrait is great. The monitor puts out 90W of power via the included cable, which is also great. (Not quite the 140W provided by the AC adapter that came with the laptop, but as long as it's not heavily loaded, 90W is great for charging the battery.) Now that said, there are some annoying issues. what I have experienced. When I connect a monitor to my laptop, I have to turn the monitor off and on again or the Mac doesn't see the screen. Also, the USB hub and Ethernet port of the monitor will not connect to the computer. Sometimes it seems to work (with an external drive that needs a separate USB hub to power it), but it only occasionally does. It's a bit frustrating but I have to use two cables where only one is needed (one for video and laptop power and the other for a USB hub that I had to buy separately). So. For all that said I agree with the monitor and for the money I really can't complain if it's really limited for a Mac user at this price point. However, if you own a Mac and expect this monitor to handle all of your connectivity needs, you will likely be disappointed.
