Search ultra Wide that is compatible

[Hook87]

Hey guys,


I am looking for an ultrawide monitor that is perfectly compatible with a macbook pro 2016.

I really like the U3818DW. It was the best one that I could find until I read it is not perfectly compatible with a mac (why the hell does Dell do that??).


SO the issue here is that the usb 3.0 reach only 2.0 speed + that you cannot use brightness and volume control on the mac. There is discussion between a Dell worker and a customer in a forum from Dell in which Dell says that this monitor is sold as only compatible with Windows.


I wonder: Can anybody here recommend another similar display that is just as good and not much more expensive?

most people use the LG 38UC99, there are some really good reviews on YouTube

I heard that you cannot use volume control and brightness here either in one of the youtube videos. I also think the Dell is younger and even a tiny bit cheaper. But thank you for the suggestion.

in this video they compare the Dell and the LG head to head

but I guess the features you are looking for only exist on the LG Ultrafine 5k which mas made specifically for the macbook pro and is not an ultra-wide

but the LG 38UC99 definitely works great with the new MBPs
