I was looking for a 27" 4K UHD monitor and I realised it would be nice to get rid of most of my cables and get everything through USB-C, including charging. I have a Macbook Pro and I’m stuck with USB-C anyway, so I better only have one cable to plug.

There isn’t actually that many monitors with a USB-C port, and those that have one are significantly higher priced. After reading and watching some reviews, it was clear to me that the monitor in that category was the LG 27UL850. Or the version that preceded it but that’s nearly identical, the 27UK850. It’s been described a the best USB-C monitor or the best monitor for Macbooks.

Since I’ve switched to my 13" Macbook Pro nearly 2 years ago, I fell in love with the trackpad. It’s insanely good. It’s so good that I stopped using a mouse altogether, even though I had the Logitech G502 which is a pretty high-end gaming mouse. One of the things I couldn’t do without the trackpad was the gestures. Plus, I didn’t feel any strain on my forearm, unlike most laptops.
