Since Apple stopped making its own Cinema Display monitors, it has opted for LG as the main supplier of monitors for the line of Mac computers, both desktop and portable. Since 2016, both LG and Apple had not renewed this range of 4K and 5K monitors. However, for a few months these monitors have begun to be updated.
The past 20 of April, the guys from Cupertino pulled the LG Ultrafine 4k off the market, a model that reaches 21,5 inches and that came from the hand of the expected renewal of the MacBook Pros received in 2016. Beginnings of May, the American Apple Stores began to have a lack of stock of the LG Ultrafine 5k. For a few hours, we have a substitute.
Apple offers us a new monitor also manufactured by LG, and 4K resolution, but unlike the previous model, which reaches 21,5, this new model has a 23,7-inch screen. It integrates a Thunderbolt 3 connection (included in the box) that offers us up to 85W of power to charge the MacBook Pro through the Thunderbolt 3 ports (USB-C). In addition, it also has three USB-C ports (at 5 Gb / s) to connect any other compatible devices and accessories.
Integrates integrated stereo speakers which, according to the Apple website, offers us a spectacular sound. Like the previous 21,5-inch model, the UltraFine 4K monitor offers a wide color gamut (P3) and a brightness of 500 cd / 2. In addition, it has more than 8 million pixels, so many that not even the human eye is able to distinguish them.
This monitor has a height of 41,8 cm, a width of 55,6 cm, and a depth of 23 cm including stand, 5 cm without the stand. The total weight of the equipment reaches 7 kg. The price of this new 23,7-inch monitor reaches 749 euros and is now available through the Apple website. Delivery is immediate, so you will only have to wait one day to enjoy this new monitor.
