My current setup (pertaining to this discussion) happens to be a 16' MBP via USB C to the LG Ultrafine 4k 21.5 display that I really like (I travel a lot, and the ability to just connect the USB C cable and do power, video, and audio over one cable is what I appreciate). With a density of 219 ppi that gives this display the ability to present sharp 4K resolution (4096 x 2304) image quality, the LG UltraFine 4K monitor is the perfect companion for the MacBook while.

It's worked with LG on a pair of new “UltraFine' monitors — a 21.5-inch 4K model and a 5K display at 27 inches, matching the (LG-manufactured) panels in both sizes of iMac — that are meant.

The 23.7-inch LG UltraFine 4K Display features a 3840 x 2160 resolution, a P3 wide colour gamut, 500 nits of brightness and built-in stereo speakers. Integration with macOS lets you control your display's volume and brightness without the need for physical buttons on the display.

If you connect the display using the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) cable (included), it provides up to 85 W of charging power to your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. The display has two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports and you can use one to connect to another 4K display.

If you connect the display using a single USB-C cable (included), it provides up to 85 W of charging power to your MacBook or iPad Pro. The display has three USB-C ports and two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports that function as downstream USB-C ports (5 Gbps) and offer additional connectivity and power to compatible devices and accessories.
