What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is an excellent all-round work monitor, praising its bright, sharp 4K picture, accurate colour modes, good ergonomics and the USB-C hub and KVM switch that replace a dock. IT Pro found backlight uniformity lacking and the KVM features could be better, T3 noted there are no speakers or high refresh rate, and TechRadar found USB-C forces a choice between resolution and data speed.
