What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it is one of the best office monitors, praising its sharp 4K text, the 120Hz refresh, improved contrast for IPS, excellent stand and very broad connectivity with 140W charging. The common complaints are the lack of speakers and contrast still well short of OLED; RTINGS found reflections distracting in very bright rooms.
