Xbox Cloud Gaming Macbook Pro

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This serves as my work-from-home monitor and is also used for gaming and watching TV when not working. The available apps cover all my streaming needs, the picture quality is excellent. There is also an option to use the latest game streaming services (Xbox Cloud Gaming, Amazon Luna, or Google Stadia [though this service has been recently discontinued]). The built-in speakers are even pretty good. Especially considering what you typically get with a monitor. You can also connect Bluetooth speakers and have the TV route audio through it instead. The remote works very well and has some quick launch buttons for the more common streaming apps as well. It may take a little getting used to, at first. Since it doesn't really have "input" switching buttons. Instead, you navigate to the different types of devices that you have connected (or apps installed). So, when you're wanting to play Xbox, you would go to the gaming section on the home screen and select either the physical Xbox that's connected or launch the Xbox Cloud app to stream games. My only real complaint with this monitor is that the stand isn't adjustable. I'd like to raise it just slightly higher. It is at a pretty good height, but I would like it just a little higher for my personal preference.

I don’t do any major work on this CPU. I do some graphic design, gaming on XBOX game pass, and some work. Great overall performance. Graphics struggled a little streaming Starfield with cloud gaming, but still very playable. I had an occasional glitch/lag but that could have also been the stream from XBOX cloud gaming. Everything else has been solid!

I use this on my MacBook Pro 15 and Windows gaming computer and it worked fast copying to/from when I don't want to hook up a big SSD drive and carry that around.

I've tried so many monitors for my use case and this is by far the best I've ever used. I use this both for PC Gaming and for work (with a connected MacBook Pro) and this monitor is the best. The built in KVM features just work as expected, so switching between PC and Mac is a breeze. The colors are insanely vibrant, it gets plenty bright (and I sit right next to a window), the refresh rate is the best I've seen - overall this monitor is amazing!

Exactly what I need for my MacBook Pro!

Great to have with your macbook pro.

2011 Macbook Pro.

Used this to connect 3 gaming systems to a single HDMI input on TV. TV only has two inputs so left Xbox One X direct connected and used the switch for Xbox 360, Xbox One and Switxh. Works well. Bonus, it has a remote IR sensor so unit can be hidden and switching can be done remotely. Works well with USB power supplied by TV.
