So I'm one of those people living in Switzerland, where Apple for some reason never put the LG Ultrafine 5K display out for sale (which turned out to be a good thing, considering that some have this lack of shielding issue LG is currently fixing).

Therefore I looked for alternative. I ordered an LG 27UD88-W from a local reseller. It was back-ordered and postponed several times, until mid of March. Now it shows up as "delivery date unknown" - LG is not able to tell the reseller when the product will be back (if ever). Great.

Looking for some more alternatives, I stumbled upon the Asus MX27UC, which happens to be in stock: https://www.asus.com/Monitors/MX27UC/

Unfortunately I cannot find *any* reviews at all testing this screen with the 2016 TB MBP. I really would want to avoid any surprised (as in, the screen isn't compatible with the MBP, the image drops out or whatnot).

Does anyone have any experiences with this screen? Does it charge the MBP? How fast? Is it stable?

Thank you :)
