We have no complaints about it, other than the price. (It's still $200-$300 cheaper than the 27" 5K display that hasn't shipped yet; but it's about $100-$200 more than an equivalent Dell display that doesn't have USB-C.) We also wish it charged at > 57W, but this monitor predates the release of the new MBPs.

I use a 60W MB charger (with magsafe adapter) with my MBP 15" at home - it has had no problems for years despite the 15" normally requiring 85W.

I remember someone saying that the nominal usage wattage of a newer MBP 15" is around 15W, perhaps double if CPU taxed.
