A Swiss Power Cable would be nice
This monitor is shipped with only a German power cable. You need to order something like [Netzkabel 250V / 2.5A (3-Pol. Typ J, C5, 3m)](https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product/netzkabel-250v-25a-3-pol-typ-j-c5-3m-power-cables-5811524) as well. Digitec please fix this

- Deutsche Netzkabel
Compact monitor for USB-C users, with charging function
I briefly inspected the product at two customers and did not find any faults at first glance. Later, however, a MacBook Pro (2016) owner reported to me that the network connection of the Ethernet port on the monitor drops after a few minutes and does not re-establish itself.
I have no long-term experience yet, but at the moment this problem could be solved by installing the latest driver for the Realtek RTL8153 USB/Ethernet chip it contains:

The fact that the screen does not have 4K resolution is of course not an actual problem - you just have to be aware that the picture looks a bit blurry right next to a high-resolution notebook screen.Pro
- USB-C connection and charging function
- Ethernet connection works reliably on Mac after driver update
Contra
- No 4K
I am completely satisfied so far, I immediately ordered a second screen for my home ;-)
After I gave up hope that Apple would launch a new display this year (it is not due to be released until 2018), this was the only alternative for me to upgrade my new MacBook Pro. It fulfils this task to my complete satisfaction, it charges the MacBook Pro (which not all USB Type C screens do at the moment) and transfers the data without any problems.
Pro
- Picture quality (for a non 4k/5k display I am more than satisfied)
- Connections (Ethernet, USB, ...)
- Connection to a MacBook Pro (2016)
- Design (of course not Apple like, but I think the screen is well done)
- Adjustability (height, angle, rotation)
- Accessories (various cables)

Contra
- Foot - I personally would like a rectangular foot better
