The Best 4K Monitor in this Price Range -- Plug and Play with 2015 Macbook Series Computers -- Retina Quality Display
Image Quality: 10/10 Ease of Set Up: 10/10 Value for Money: 10/10 I recently purchased a 2015 Macbook Pro 13 w/ Retina Display and was so overwhelmed by the color and text quality that I decided I needed to upgrade my desktop monitor as well. I wanted something that was plug-and-play using a display-port cable, and ultimately I chose this monitor for these reasons: 1 - the 24" has the highest pixel density for the resolution -- if you go up to 27 or 28" you will get excellent resolution but not as crisp text 2 - the color testing by Dell provides 99% accuracy -- my side by side photos enclosed show the color accuracy 3 - I wanted expansion capabilities in the back of the monitor -- the 4 x USB SuperSpeed (3.0) ports come in handy on my desktop 4 - the base is extremely stable -- no wobble 5 - the monitor does not crash/fail to wake up when the laptop goes to sleep -- *Note* -- I find that if it is slow to wake up after being asleep for a long time simply pressing the menu button above the power button on the face of the display wakes up the monitor immediately 6 - the colors are the SAME as my Macbook side by side, and the text is the same degree of sharpness side by side as well 7 - I am able to use the Dell supplied display-port cable out of the box and plug it into my Thunderbolt port and it auto detects every time. *Note* -- do not use a Thunderbolt cable to your Mac -- it will not detect the monitor. Use the cable supplied by Dell. 8 - The display-port cable provides audio output support, so you can plug your desktop speakers into the Dell Monitor rather than your Macbook and it works perfectly fine. *Note* -- the display-port audio out port disables the audio control on your MAC so you need to use speakers with volume control built in or plug your audio system into your Mac to retain the volume control functionality. 9 - Antiglare is easier on the eyes -- this monitor does not come with the glossy image you see in the Macbook Retina Display which I thought would bother me, but side by side, it is actually EASIER to work in Photoshop without the glossy image than with it. I don't know how else to describe it except to say once you buy this monitor you will throw your Apple Cinema Display in the garbage. Plug and play out of the box with my Macbook Pro 13, no support issues, no video card issues,
