Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Brightness and color accuracy is amazing. Picture is crisp and very clear and crisp. Webcam quality isn't great but simply having a webcam and speakers is useful. Would buy again.

There will be occasional visual glitches with a scope or fov clipping, but its dependent on the game.

This monitor is a breath of fresh air, simplifying my multitasking needs. It is very helpful for going through huge excel database on one screen. The kvm and data hub are way more useful to me than having a better refresh rate or better color output.

Cons

It's less useful or ergonomic than just using 2x27 displays. The product is fine but the lack of customer service is extremely disappointing. It is not worth the frustration and time.

Well built, panel quality is good enough for coding, professional and casual use (maybe not so much for pro photo/video work)6.

Also i have a wireless usb keboard that simply does not work with the monitors rear usb3 ports at all.

Price

'i am happy in general with this display and the price i paid.

Everyone that has seen it wants one, until they hear the price.

Packaging/appearance

Navigating the menus - the unit did not come with remote as it said in the packaging and the vendor says they do not supply it.

Competitiveness

Using with a mbpro and two additional monitors!

I use it with a 12 core macpro 2012 (5,1) and msi rx-580 graphics card (5120 x 1440).

I'll probably use a phsyical kensington usb3 kvm switch for my mouse / keyboard that has a physical single switch solution.

I however, program on a mac and do some work on a pc, and have some gripes about the solution, considering the price point.
