Will this accept a DisplayPort video source? Or ...
Will this accept a DisplayPort video source? Or is a thunderbolt equipped host the *only* way to send video to this display? I’m confused about this.
I did some research on this, and it will work with USB-C (DisplayPort Alternate Mode) but only at 4K resolution. I believe LG added this functionality to this specific version of the display, it's not on the other version of it, so people could connect iPad Pro's to it, because the iPad Pro does not have Thunderbolt, yet LG shows the iPad Pro working on the marketing material on their website.
