Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this as a replacement to my Samsung 27" UH750 4k monitor for one main reason: USB-C connectivity with my Macbook Pro. I only have two USB C ports on my Macbook, so having to use them both with my Samsung in order to use the monitor and charge up at the same time was a major hassle. It left me with no USB connectivity for other stuff like external storage. That's where this monitor comes in. I was skeptical of how well it would work with my MBP since USB-C monitors are still a new technology, and are likely no where as good as they will be in a year or two from now. In about a week of usage, I have yet to have a single problem. Power delivery for my 13" MBP is great- I experience no loss of power when doing more intensive activities like encoding large video files. Not a single flicker or loss of image yet. To date, there is only one HUGE (for me at least) flaw that I have found in this monitor. When connecting to any device via USB-C, it limits the speed on the two USB-A ports on the back of the monitor to 2.0. I planned on using Windows To Go in this setup by mounting a SSD to the back of the monitor and running Windows off of it. I definitely can't maintain a stable boot of Windows 10 using this setup. I could use a USB-C to DP or HDMI cable for my MBP and then the USB-A ports would go back to 3.0 speeds, but in that case I might as well have purchased the UD88 model and saved about a hundred dollars. I really don't understand how this monitor can't output USB 3.0 speeds while maintaining a USB-C connection given that it still uses an external power brick. I'd think that the huge power brick would allow it to provide the necessary power to do this. I was bummed by this, but I didn't find it to be a deal breaker. Backlight bleed was minimal, and the image quality is excellent. I use it with my Xbox One X, and can verify that you will receive all green check marks in the 4K details screen. I had no trouble setting up the console with this monitor, even with FreeSync and HDR 10. Pros: Works great with Xbox One X and Macbook Pro Great image quality Responsive OSD controls Lots of ports Cons: External power brick USB-A ports default to 2.0 speeds if you connect a computer via USB-C Can't control volume through keyboard buttons unless connected to bluetooth speaker for audio (Don't think many monitors can do this though) Edit: 2 year update (2/1/2021) I’m still using this monitor daily now that I’m working from home and have yet to have a single issue. I’ve since added a Caldigit Thunderbolt dock to my setup so the USB limitation mentioned in the review for me is a non-issue now. I currently plug in my webcam into one of the USB ports on the back and it works great! There are definitely many more thunderbolt monitors now since when I first bought this monitor but I’ve noticed almost all of them cost significantly more than this one does. I’m currently debating whether to switch to an ultrawide LG for my main monitor or add a second UK850 at this lower price point. I still recommend this monitor to any friends who ask.
