A purchased this monitor because it was said to have a good high resolution (not quite 4K, but close), is curved, is compatible with my MacBook Pro (M1) - as well as Windows - and allows it to be used as a docking station so I can reduce the number of cables on my desk. All this is true. I connected my Mac with the USB-C cable and it just worked. My Mac gets its power from the monitor as well as seeing is as a proper external display. It gives me 4 extra USB ports for any extra devices and I can even connect a second computer and have 2 computers share the screen. I am a happy customer.
