What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it is a very capable office monitor for the money, praising its sharp text, wide viewing angles, adjustable stand and single-cable USB-C connection with laptop charging. RTINGS found reflections distracting in sunny rooms, and TechRadar noted it is not suited to creative work and that power users may still need a dock.
