Setting Up and Seeing What Interfaces Are Available on the LG 31-inch Digital Cinema 4K 31MU97 Monitor 

LG has been very visibly supporting a wide range of display interfaces, especially those which are Apple Mac friendly.

The LG 27 inch Class Ultra HD IPS 4K 27UD88-W Monitor was the world's first display to take advantage of USB Type-C followed by the LG UltraFine 5K Display and LG UltraFine 4K Display which work with new USB Type-C based Mac's like the MacBook Pro (Late 2016) and Apple MacBook (Early 2016).  

For older Mac's like the MacBook Pro (Mid 2015), Apple Mac Pro, and iMac with Retina 5K Display, you can connect them to a Thunderbolt 2 enabled display like the LG Thunderbolt Monitor 34UM95 or simply to a display supporting mini DisplayPort like the LG 31-inch Digital Cinema 4K 31MU97 Monitor.

The LG 31-inch Digital Cinema 4K 31MU97 Monitor supports 99.5% of Adobe RGB, DCP-P3 color standard, and 10-bit color depth.  It also conveniently has its own speakers do you don't need to connect external ones.
