All of the expected brightness and volume controls work from the keyboard. There is no power button on the display and once you connect the Thunderbolt cord to the MacBook Pro the monitor wakes up and also starts charging the laptop. Even wake from sleep is fairly reliable.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>I would have also appreciated a basic camera for conference calls. I have an external USB camera I can setup (with ANOTHER adaptor) but not having a camera\/microphone for this common need seems like an oversight for such a high end monitor.<\/p>\n<p>My final complaint, and this isn&rsquo;t for the monitor directly, is that using it makes my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016) run hot. Check out this graph, the early days are when I was working from home with the monitor attached and then the later days are me on the road at a conference with no monitor. Connecting the monitor seems to double the temperature, just to push the pixels let alone when I&rsquo;m really pushing the CPU with code compliers or video exports.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike Zornek: The LG 49 inch UltraWide monitor is pretty cool, but not very Mac compatible (specifics defects below).
