Missing, though, are features like the faster Thunderbolt connection standard, built-in speakers, and a faster refresh. It could handle pretty much everything that most users will need in one, getting rid of a number of cables, hubs, and chargers. It features of a USB-C hub, a KVM (meaning you could connect two different computers to it, and control them both from a single keyboard and mouse, switching which is displayed and controlled with a button press), and a charger. The 27-inch scale is a great size – it gives you a lot of space to have windows side by side, but will still fit on a small desk without looking ridiculous. Its detailed 4K 27-inch display is beautifully sharp and offers P3 wide colour support (98%). This monitor is a perfect pairing with your MacBook Pro.

If you've already decided on the spec you need, we also have detailed, subject-specific guides to displays: we've curated guides to the best 4K monitors, the best portable monitors, the best curved gaming monitors, and the best gaming monitors of all shapes and sizes. Obviously, not every pick can be an elite level MacBook monitor, but out baseline expectation is to deliver strong colour gamut support, to have a zippy response time, and to have good viewing angles too. The one thing we won't compromise on in this guide is screen quality. It's only really our budget picks that don't – we consider it a priority if you're spending any big money on a MacBook monitor. All of the current (and recent) MacBook Pros come with USB-C ports as their main connectivity option – whether that's the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2021) or the MacBook Pro 14-inch & 16-inch (2021) (or, indeed, the MacBook Air M1) – which means they can send data and power over a single convenient cable, so we'll highlight which monitors have this.
