I recall two things that people complained about with the Mac support

- the USB-C charging was terrible because if you turn off the monitor it stops charging the laptop. I believe the same happens when the monitor sleeps. There is also this weird connectivity issue that happens if the mac with USB-C goes to sleep and the monitor is in use with another port. It keeps detecting/undetecting the USB-C port. I think it basically comes down to a lack of consistent power connection from the monitor to USB-C port. I knew about this problem and I just make sure my mac has a power brick plugged in.

- the 2nd problem was that their isn't any Dell software for mac which means that all settings and switching is done through the buttons. Luckily, someone hacked this together.

Overall, the monitor is absolutely fantastic and I would buy it again. I spent at least 40 hours researching monitors and looking for a high resolution (4kish), 32" or larger, IPS monitor. Everything else was either super expensive, out of stock/no longer made or had major problems.



I haven't experienced the first, and .. I guess I never went looking for software for the second. That github link looks good though.
