Frequently asked questions
Does it charge from the same cable as the video?
On a full-function USB-C laptop it can run on one cable. Lower-power devices or HDMI connections need the included USB-C power cable plugged in as well.
Is the panel IPS or TN?
It is an IPS panel with a 178-degree viewing angle, so colors and contrast hold up when viewed off to the side.
Can I use it in portrait mode?
Yes. The included cover stands it up in landscape or portrait, and most operating systems let you rotate the display in settings.
Will it work with a MacBook?
Yes, with a MacBook that has a full-function USB-C or Thunderbolt port the screen works with a single cable.
