Q: When was this monitor released?

A: Hi there this model was released in 2018.

Q: I'm using a M1 Mac Mini (2022). Using the thunderbolt connection will this monitor accept brightness commands from my mac?

A: Nothing but Apple's Studio Monitor will do that, but this has a nice control 'puck' that can control brightness and mode switching.

Q: Is there a power cord other than MacBook Thunderbolt 3? My MacBook is mid-year 2015 build and has Thunderbolt 2. Is there a standard power cord?

A: Yes, in addition to the Thunderbolt 3, there'd also be a regular power cord included to power up the monitor.
