What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it is a strong all-round office monitor, praising its sensible design, accurate colour, improved IPS Black contrast, 120Hz refresh and extensive Thunderbolt connectivity with a KVM switch. Both PCWorld and IT Pro noted there is no HDR; PCWorld pointed out that most rivals at the price are 4K, and IT Pro found the backlighting could be better.
