While this monitor is gorgeous, it has been a disaster for the clients I had who bought them. I am no longer recommending them, nor are the Apple Stores I've worked with. Below are the problems I've seen on 4 separate monitors:
- Flickering due to wifi. We sent our first monitor in to be fixed with the extra shielding but the problem still happened after it came back. We ended up returning it.
- Kernel panics when connecting TB3 and/or waking up from sleep (seen this on 4 separate monitors)
- Display brightness arbitrarily turns down to the lowest setting, giving the appearance that it is off
- USB post on the back are not always recognized when hooking back up via TB3, forcing the user to unplug and plug back in the USB cables.
I know not everyone may have these issues, but we'll see countless references of them on Apple's review page, Apple discussion boards, and other places where people discuss these issues. Luckily this monitor has been such a disaster that it has reminded Apple that they need to make monitors again which they've confirmed they are working on for the future.
Inferior display.. 3 USB 3.1 ports in the back are they kidding? No daisy chaining, no other ports in the back?
For some perhaps an alternative option: http://www.uptab.com/uptab-usb-c-to-mini-displayport-adapter-silver.html
The only thing good about it is the display itself. Port configs are limited, the frame and the stand are ugly. Apple should be ashamed to promote it. And then there are the performance and reliability issues. A lemon.
Do you guys know if this monitor features the awesome automatic ambient light adjustment like the Macbook Pro and the Apple Thunderbolt 27" Display ? (including when the notebook lid is closed) I could not live without this... :neutral:
