Apple has started to ship the LG UltraFine 4K Display to customers who placed orders in October, with deliveries expected to arrive on consumer’s doorsteps in mid November.
The LG UltraFine 4K Display, which is a co-production between Apple and LG, and its larger 5K sibling, debuted with the redesigned MacBook Pro in October. The standalone displays serve as a replacement for Apple’s Thunderbolt Display, which is no longer being produced.
Like the Thunderbolt, the Ultrafine 4K screen acts as a breakout dock for port-limited notebooks like the new MacBook Pro without Touch Bar models that come with only two Thunderbolt 3 ports. The MacBook Pro with Touch Bar models sport four Thunderbolt 3 ports, but has no USB-A inputs.
It comes in at 21.5 inches on the diagonal with a resolution of 4,096-by-2,304 and P3 wide colour gamut support. On the back are three USB-C ports limited to USB 2 specification speeds. The display’s internal power supply is capable of charging external devices, but is limited to 60W over Thunderbolt 3.
LG’s UltraFine 5K Display measures 27 inches and supports resolutions up to 5,120-by-2,880 with P3 colour. It has USB 3.1 ports on the back for attaching high-speed accessories, and also includes stereo speakers, a microphone and front-facing camera. An uprated power supply produces enough juice for 85W of charging power over Thunderbolt 3.
The 4K version is available now, while the 5K model is should be available in December.
