The struggle is real, need advice on a 4K USB-C monitor.

[hostins]

Hello there I know this might sound a bit vague but I'm looking for a 4K USBC-C (with pass through power to a MBP15") "on a budget" max £600 (living in UK).

BAU consists: some photo/video editing, some coding and some gaming (casual WOW player).

So far, I kinda liked the LGUD88 but in some reviews i've noticed that the monitor doesn't power up the MBP15". Now I'm thinking about going for the LG Ultrafine 4K (it's a bit over the budget, i know)

Before going for one, I would like to take some suggestions.

*Not big fan of docks or converters or dongles either, that's the main reason I'm looking for a USB-C with pass through.

PLEASE HALP!
Thanks!

**Nop, english is not my main language.

LG UltraFine hands down. It’s the only one that has P3 wide colour, integrated speakers, and true 4K (4096x2304) instead of UHD (3840x2160).

In this Apple Insider review of the Ultrafine (5K version), he makes a good point that your throughput on the to the USB-C connections on the monitor will see reduced speeds as a lot of the bandwidth is taken up pushing 4K worth of pixels to the monitor itself. He has some other bones to pick with it like no power switch.

We've had an Ultrafine 4k in the house for about a month. It's driven by a 2017 15" MBP.

The user has become very fond of it. Every time I've been near it when it's on, I've been impressed.

It's a refurb but no far has given no trouble. I'm not sure we'd have bought a new one -- very expensive.
