What reviewers say
HEXUS and Entertainment Focus praised the sharp 4K workspace, slim bezels and versatile stand. Both found HDR on a Windows desktop inconvenient to switch on and off, and felt the HDR effect was limited. HEXUS also saw backlight bleed on its test sample; Entertainment Focus considered it better for work than gaming.
