LG 27UD88-W - 27" 4K Monitor

Thanks. Yeah, I wish there was an easy way for me to try a couple of different sizes out before buying. I don't think that Best Buy displays standalone monitors, though. Maybe Staples does.

Ok problem solved !
I reconnected the display to the other USB C port on the same side (the one closest to the mac front, farther from the hinge), and now it works :)
Only one of them has the right bandwidth to do the proper settings I guess, right ?
(good to know)

Edit :
Strange, according to below the two right ports are the same (I'm using one of them), and I should used a left one, might do that (but problematic with my set up).

I had a same problem like you.
(2016 MBP 13" w/ TB)
My problem was solved when I switched using the right side (UP) of USB-C port. Both of left sides didn't solve the problem.
I was using left side (up) USB-C before.

I wanna go back to left side.............

any solution???????

Strange, I use the left side now, as on the right the issue was sometimes coming back, and I didn't get the issue anymore.

By the way I forgot the link in previous message about the port differences, below one :

[doublepost=1511634735][/doublepost]LG monitor is for USB 3.1, not thunderbolt 3 monitor.

Thus, it shouldn’ Be a matter whether it is from left side or right side.

I currently have no problem with right side, but when I switch it to left, have a problem!

I hav no clue..... I still wanna go back to left side due to my desk setting.

And me would prefer right side for my setting !
Maybe we can switch them up ? :)
 
I'm using an LG 27UD68 and alternating between 1920x1080 and 2560x1440. I used a USB-C to DisplayPort cable from my maxed out 15-inch 2016 MBP to the monitor to get 4K at 60Hz.

All in all, it's not my favorite set up, but it was free to me (my org. paid for it,) so I won't complain.

I'd recommend either springing for the LG 22MD4KA-B or the 27MD5KA-B, or wait until (hopefully later this year when) Apple unveils new Apple-branded monitors.

yes! I check the LG 22MD4KA-B or the 27MD5KA-B and I love it just for one big thing to me!!! don't have any damn button to calibrate the monitor, everything is via software on the mac! I hate calibrate on the mac and on the monitor too! so yes! I want a LG 22MD4KA-B or the 27MD5KA-B but! I'll wait to see if this year apple release something.

thanks!
