25 Comments on Review! 23.7-inch LG UltraFine Display – are TWO Thunderbolt 3 ports worth the upgrade?

  1. Do you use an external display with your Mac? If so, which one do you use, and why? Would you consider ‘upgrading’ to this newly launched LG UltraFine Display? Let me know!

  2. i literally bought this yesterday without knowing they refreshed them, when i looked at the rear i noticed the second thunderbolt 3 port and was surprised. so i essentially purchased this newer model without realizing it was the NEW ONE, that’s how stealth apple’s release was for this display

  3. I thought all Thunderbolt 3 cables have the number “3” printed under the lightening bolt? Is that really a T3 cable?

  4. Can I use this on a Mac mini and as an external monitor for a windows laptop at the same time with seamless switching? Thanks

  5. OMG follows the T3 protocol and includes a second port? WHERE’S MY PARTY HAT?!

    Seriously, port-wise, this is the best dongle evar!

  6. Hi,
    At 8:14 you mentioned the sensor adjusts the brightness automatically and it really seems (though very slightly) that it really does. But I have the previous 4K LG UltraFine and although it has the same sensor, it just doesn’t work. I searched internet and many people say theirs doesn’t work either. I was thinking maybe Apple would add the feature with a software update but then I saw your video and was very surprised.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Cheers

  7. I already asked to see you unbox and give us your thoughts on the new 2019 MacBook pro TWICE and haven’t had any kind of response so what’s the point in giving you a thumbs up ? if you do not reply or respond !!
