In the last months, Apple has had to constantly rethink its agreement with LG, with respect to the agreement reached as a supplier of external monitors. Let's remember that these monitors were presented in the fall of 2016, to be presented weeks later. But the marketing process was delayed until December. We always defend that it is better to have a perfectly designed and error-free team than to present a team too far in advance that can cause problems of any kind, as in the end has happened. Finally, the first units began to be sold at the end of 2016, also with a significant discount.
But soon some users started reporting problems on the LG Ultrafina 5K model. Apparently when the monitor were near the router, there were different types of problems: disconnections of the monitor connected to the Mac, interferences of various kinds, among other problems. Soon, the Korean manufacturer recognized the problem and removed the defective monitors from the store stands.
Since then he has worked to fix the problem, the expected date to re-market this equipment was early march. Subsequently, this date has been modified until Winners will be announced in March date on which they will foreseeably be on sale again.
These new modified equipment are being tested by various specialized press. The first tests, allows to verify that these problems have been loose, since placing the monitor just behind the router does not produce any type of problem connected through the Thunderbold 3 port.
For this they put Router maximum intensity, with the download of multiple files, which would force to test in shield of the monitor. Previously, the screen would flicker with these types of tests. But in this case his behavior has been correct. Finally, in the previous models, errors occurred when a peripheral was connected to the USB-C port. In this case, your behavior has been correct.
Therefore, everything seems to indicate that the problems have been solved. If you are interested in purchasing this monitor you can find it in the apple store at the price € 1.049.
