Review: LG’s USB-C-enabled 4K Monitor lends single cable simplicity to 12″ MacBook owners, but not without some compromises

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/lg-27ud88-w-macbook-usb-c1.jpg?w=1600&h=1000#038;h=563)</div>
<p>If you’re looking for a 4K display that can be paired with your 12″ MacBook via a single USB-C cable, then your options are fairly limited. It seems that LG is one of the few display makers that has such a monitor available for sale.</p>
<p>LG’s 27UD88-W (http://amzn.to/1qG7eKv) is a 27″ USB-C-enabled display. Its USB-C port allows MacBook owners to connect a single cable to drive the display, charge the machine, and facilitate data transfer.</p>
<p>As I alluded to in my recent 2016 MacBook (http://9to5mac.com/2016/05/21/10-reasons-consider-2016-retina-macbook/) post, the 27UD88-W isn’t perfect, but it’s one of the only games in town if you desire a 4K monitor with USB-C connectivity in tow.</p>
<p>If you’re a MacBook owner, should you consider purchasing one? Have a look inside for the details. <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/06/04/lg-27ud88-w-usb-c-4k-monitor-macbook-review/#more-432125" class="more-link">more…[/url]</p>
