Reviewers praise the smooth 100 Hz motion, deep blacks from the VA panel and comprehensive eye-care suite, while noting ghosting in dark scenes and the lack of speakers.
Users love the multitasking capability and smooth scrolling, but many mention ghosting in games and wish for built-in audio.
Professional reviewers commend the monitor's color accuracy, 90% DCI-P3 coverage and HDR10 support, noting it excels in color-critical tasks, while pointing out the modest HDR brightness and lack of ergonomic adjustments as limitations.
Everyday users love the crisp 4K picture, vibrant colors and the borderless look, but they note the lack of height adjustment, a flimsy-feeling stand and the external power brick as common complaints.
“I bought this monitor specifically because of its ability to display 2 different inputs side by side and it does that amazingly!”
“It has vivid color, nice sound system.”
“Great for office work and watching movies, but the stand feels a bit flimsy.”
