What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it is an excellent productivity monitor, praising its sharp 4K text at 120Hz, accurate image, strong stand and Thunderbolt 4 hub with a KVM switch. Expert Reviews found HDR only basic and backlight uniformity lacking for creative work, Windows Central found it not especially bright and the software weak, and RTINGS rated reflection handling mediocre.
