Have been looking for 27" 2K USB-C monitor for WFH. The plan is to use with MacBook Pro as an external display, better for neck etc.

Any recommendation on which brand/model to go for? Kinda like the idea of using only one USB C cable to provide display and power through the monitor.

    Don't they still need a power cable?

      Yes.

      No. Depending on the monitor the USB-C cable provides both the power and display connection (e.g. the LG UltraFines). The only catch is to make sure that the monitor provides enough power (for a 13" MBP 60 watts, 15" 85watts). You can run a 15" off 60 watts but the battery may decrease under load.

        Oh ok, I think I misunderstood…I thought OP wanted to power the monitor via the laptop. 🤦‍♂️

        The monitor still needs a power cable (what I was referring to), but you/the OP is saying the monitor will power the laptop through the usb C cable so the laptop doesn't need a power cable if connected to the monitor. Which makes more sense.

        Cool, I didn't know that existed!

    my advice is to use a spell checker

      You're advising him to do so?

      You mean a grammar checker? Technically it was spelled correctly.
