Apple Thunderbolt Display Monitor 27 Inches

Used to connect Apple 27 Thunderbolt Display to Dell PC.

This adapter was the perfect solution to connect my Thunderbolt 27 Display.

I was replacing a 5K retina iMac Pro, so I was nervous about this, but a 27 monitor wasn't enough for my aging eyes anymore. I really wanted the other Apple brand 34 monitor, but we all know how expensive and old that technology is. And their other monitors are also 27, so Apple was out. After watching a lot of videos and reading reviews, I landed on this monitor as a companion to my new Mac Studio. While this monitor does not hold up to the Retina display quality, it is good enough. I don't mean that as a knock. I mean it's a high quality monitor that is what you need it to be. It doesn't output at Apple nit levels, but in my office (which has 6 curtained windows), I never used the Apple brightness over 1/3rd of what it could do. I have used this monitor at full brightness with the curtains pulled back, and it's more than enough. I'm torn on the matte finish of the display. On one hand, it has almost no glare, which is great! But I'm just used to the glossy/glassy coating on Apple which feels like a crystal clear image, where on this monitor, if your font is too small, you can start to see the pixel breakdown. But once you get everything configured properly, you won't want to go back. I got this monitor because I needed more space on the desktop (the virtual desktop I mean) and because my eyes are aging or degrading (I have double vision and other undiagnosed eye problems, so I'm not the average user). After switching to this monitor, I have less strain on my eyes. I don't know if it is due to the larger screen (I am using about the same font size though) or was due to the glossy screen I was using before. As far as quality, you can find plenty of reviews on the color gamut and quality. I'm no expert, but the image clarity and color space appears to be great. I don't notice any washout or bright spots on the display. If you pair this with a Mac studio, you'll be very happy.

I bought this monitor as I needed a replacement for my ageing Apple Thunderbolt display. I researched about half a year on a variety of monitors from all the leading brands, but was dismayed by the lack of features, connectivity, a true 4K resolution or the build quality. I am a graphic designer and I need a monitor with a full color gamut, and a true reproduction of colours in various ambient lighting conditions. While my old Thunderbolt display was less than perfect, it worked for the time being. I also looked at EIZO displays, but did not have the budget for a monitor with similar specs. With the BenQ PD3220U I found a display that works great for me.  On the plus side: • Full 4K monitor with an absolute brilliant clarity. • Matte coated anti glare screen  • Single USB-C connection to my MacBook Pro for charge and display  • Excellent / true colour reproduction when calibrated • Solid build quality • Ability to set up in Portrait or Landscape • Height adjustable • Plenty of ports • Very thin bezels which makes the display look smaller despite its 32  On the minus side: • Coming from an Apple product, the ports for peripherals are not easy to access. • No camera - but then, this is a design monitor and I have a camera build-in to my laptop • Speakers are horrible, but yet again, the focus should be on the monitor itself. Overall, I love the monitor and considering that this display cost about the same as the LG displays Apple promotes it is superior in build quality and features.

27 inches of pure joy :)

I held off spending the $ on this for so long, and toted our 27 Thunderbolt display by hand for years. Ive had this case now for the last 3 trips and it is the most perfect, protective, companion for toting around this huge display. Protects it efficiently, and a ton of storage options for including *all* peripherals wed ever need. Completely worth the cost.

This is the only way I could connect my 27 in. Thunderbolt Display. The adapter works with any Thunderbolt device: Ethernet adapter, hard drives, etc. Well worth the price.

Works great with Apple Thunderbolt display and a P50 Lenovo. Thank you!

Replaced 2x 27 Apple Thunderbolt monitors with this and couldn't be happier. Fits better on my desk and provides greater real estate and color accuracy. Really appreciate it being a thunderbolt hub as well. Great to just plug one cable into my laptop and my speakers, stream deck, drives, ethernet all connect. Expensive but worthwhile investment for me as an editor staring at this for 10 hours a day.

Amazing monitor for $480 CAD, complete steal. G-sync and 165htz 27 inches, I have the best monitor among my frens
