Mac Video Driver For Dell S2718d
People looking for USB-C 27' monitors for the 2016/2017 macbook/pro laptops are a bit stuck right now (Aug 2017). The current USB-C 4k monitors doesn't size right - scaling without blurring is too small or too large. 5k (that scales correctly) is too expensive (like the LG 27' 5k) and they don't follow apple's design aesthetic.
So while waiting for better usb-c monitors - this UHD monitor is the compromise. It's not 4k or 5k, but pretty good specs in every other aspect. Sure - you could buy cheaper monitors with similar specs for $100-200 less, but your give up design, USB-C, and a port hub. Just the fact that you bought somewhat overpriced macbook pro means design matters to you.

HDR is a gimmick on this monitor - but at least it partially supports it versus not at all on the other monitors (w/ exception of new LG 32'). So buy this monitor for under $500, look cool, then upgrade in 2 years to the real deal holyfield 27' HDR/DolbyVision 5k monitor when they come out. I bought this for a 2016 MacBook Pro that has a 4GB Radeon Pro 460 (and the integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 w/ 1536MB).
When I'm in MacOS, High Sierra, it works perfectly. Plug in the supplied USB-C cable and boom: beautiful picture. The problem is that I also run Windows 10 through Bootcamp.
When I boot into Windows 10, the monitor will not run at full resolution over the USB-C connection. Windows throws an error 'The system has detected a link failure and cannot set the requested resolution and refresh rate.' I spent several hours trying to debug this issue. I installed the monitor drivers from Dell, resetting the SMC, and eventually contacting Dell support. They told me (and this is a quote), 'It’s a plug and play device so the problem isn’t ours. You have to contact Mac support.'

Maybe they're right. However, it seems to be a Windows/driver issue to me, given that it works find in MacOS. In Windows, it works at the proper resolution and refresh rate when connected via HDMI.
I'm going to do a little more troubleshooting before returning it. I'm pretty disappointed.
