To improve my working from home situation, I bought Philips Brilliance 27 inch 4k monitor with USB-C docking (272P7VUBNB). This monitor is 4k, USB Type-C and sub-$350. I’m not picky about color. It looks good to me.

4k 60Hz

My home computer is a 13-inch 2017 MacBook Pro. I initially struggled to get 4k 60Hz from the USB Type-C connection, but I managed to do it.

First this monitor supports both USB 2.0 and USB 3.2, but to use USB Type-C, you must use USB 2.0. Second, On the MacBook side, I need to reset NVRAM. Resetting NVRAM is like restarting a computer to fix a problem. I don’t know what was wrong.
