And although USB-C ought to support HDMI monitors just fine, I've found that it doesn't work all that well with my 15" MacBook Pro. I recommend sticking with DisplayPort until Apple resolves the issues. First, a bit of background: The "Thunderbolt 3" USB-C ports on the Late-2016 MacBook Pro … [Read more...] about Beware!
