Since updating my 2016 MacBook Pro 15" with Touchbar to macOS High Sierra 10.13, this screen no longer works correctly. As well as via USB-C directly, both with USB-C to DisplayPort cable, the picture flickers on/off every 10 seconds when I come out of standby, or when I unplug the cable and plug it back in. Only a cold start helps (and not always). Do any of you also have this problem? Downgrading to macOS Sierra works, but it's not a solution either.

Hi I am (like Mwenger, Claudioghi etc. also) trying to connect my ASUS MX27UC to my 2017 Apple MacBook Pro Touch 13" using USB-C. I am using a Belkin USB-C Monitor Cable to connect the Thunderbolt 3 port of the MacBook with the USB-C port of the display but I can't get it to work. I have set the display to USB 3.0 (4K2K @30Hz) and I have used the "find display" function of Macintosh using the [alt]-key in the display settings but I was not successful. It doesn't even charge the MacBook! I suspect an issue with the USB-C plug in the display. Or was any of you guys able to make it work with highSierra or Mojave. Cheers, Philipp PS: Ihr könnt auch in Deutsch oder Französisch antworten.

Is the ASUS MX27UC also suitable for gaming?

I wouldn't recommend it because 27 inches is quite big for that and you can't necessarily play newer games smoothly without extremely high-end hardware.
I recommend a 1440p 144 Hz monitor for gaming.

Yes, it is definitely compatible for gaming.
Just keep in mind that the very high resolution can be a disadvantage in games in terms of performance. In addition, with a response time of 5 ms, you have about 0.1% less fast reactions, which is suboptimal in games.

Nevertheless, it is definitely suitable for gaming, even if I have to say that 4K gaming is not really fun at the moment.

Does anyone have any experience with this display together with the 2016 MacBook Pro 15" (with TouchBar) via USB-C? I can't find any reviews or tests about it anywhere.

This is exactly the combination I have in use. It works as expected, i.e. a single USB-C cable (included) between the MacBook and the monitor transmits 4k@60Hz video data and provides enough power to charge the battery.
