Question 1

It states Thunderbolt, but does not clearly state MAC compatible. Is the Thunderbold passthru or video connection or both?

Thanks

Accepted Answer

Thunderbolt to thunderbolt is compatible. Thunderbolt on a mac to displayport on a monitor is not compatible.  Research your iMac/MacBook  to make sure it supports target display. A Mac Pro will support any thunderbolt monitor.

Question 2

What is the curvature?

Accepted Answer

This monitor was such a problem that I don't have it anymore. I decided to go back with Samsung because their simple the best in every way compare to LG. LG decided to buy back the monitor from me, paying the amount I paid Newegg for it. I returned it just last week and currently waiting for them to sent me a check. I'm never purchasing an LG anything again. They have the absolute worst customer service. I would advise that you research something else, but it's your decision.

Question 3

Is this monitor help compliant?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure what what help compliant is for a monitor. Can you please give more specifics on what you're asking?

Question 4

Why do the specifications say 4k when the resolution of this monitor is NOT 4K? 3440x1440 is Ultrawide QHD, 3840 × 2160 is 4K.  Including this in the model selection buttons is deceptive marketing, at the very least.

Accepted Answer

Yeah, it's pretty sketchy at best. It's still a beautiful display though.

Question 5

What version of displayport does this use?

Accepted Answer

1.2 and 1.3

Question 6

Can this display be attached on wall mounting hardware?

Accepted Answer

You would have to find a wall mount bracket specific for curved ultra-wides. There are no screw holes on the back of the LG.

Question 7

You list the warranty as 3 years but the LG site seems to say 1 year.  Which is correct?
