Yes, that MacBook should be able to work with these monitors without a problem. It's worth noting, however, that you'll get the best results using either the official Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter and a Premium Certified HDMI cable, or a 3rd party USB-C to DisplayPort adapter (Apple does not offer any directly) and a certified DisplayPort cable. The reason these are important is that some cheaper cables and adapters can cause varying issues in different setups, and these problems are more likely to occur or be more pronounced when driving 4K displays due to the increased bandwidth required with the higher resolution. Note that these monitors do include good quality cables in the box (one DisplayPort and one HDMI), but they are rather short (around 4ft) and may not be ideal depending on your situation. Finally, I would also mention that you will get the best performance in macOS by using either the "Default for display" setting or choosing the first scaling option on the "Larger Text" slider (see the attached photo for reference). This will set the contents on your screen to appear to be equivalent to that of a Full HD (1080p) monitor, but because the monitor itself is twice that resolution at 4K, it has the effect of giving you a Retina quality display. You can also set it to the last option for true 4K resolution with no scaling. If, like me, you prefer a slightly higher resolution, you can choose one of the other scaling options (for example, the second one is equivalent to a 1440p display, and identical in size to that of the non-Retina 27" iMac displays), but be aware that it does slightly affect performance, and you may see your computer using more memory, running the fan more often or more loudly during use, etc. Again, this is only an issue if you choose the intermediate scaling options, but worth mentioning as it has caused some headaches for others who were not aware. Hope this helps!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.the LG - 27UL600-W does not have USB-C, so you would probably need to buy a USB-C hub for your MacBook that provides HDMI or DisplayPort
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes that would work all you would need is a USBc hub with two monitor inputs or if you wanted to run 2 USBc cable straight to your computer you would need to purchase cable such as the display port to USBc https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B075V27G2R?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You will need to check if your GPU (AMD Radeon Pro 560X) will support multiple monitors & what resolutions it supports. For that you needs to go to the AMD site or check the specs online. The 27UL600-W is a Plug and Play monitor & doesn't require drivers. Your Macbook Pro just has to have the right connectivity or you can use adapters to make the necessary connections & your GPU should be able to support the monitor's native resolution of 3840 x 2160 and its native 60 Hz Refresh Rate.Both the HDMI ports & the DisplayPort are HDCP 2.2 compliant so the ports on your Macbook must be HDCP 2.2 compliant for a 4K signal to pass to the monitor. If you only have one port to connect to one monitor, you will need to search for an adapter that will split to two to connect two monitors but as mentioned earlier, your GPU has to be able to support multiple monitors.
