Review: Top-Tier Display with Bottom-Tier Speakers - This is an outstanding display featuring accurate colors (10-bit, calibrated, HDR 400) and smooth motion handling that is easy on the eyes. The sole drawback is the integrated speakers. The audio quality is subpar—even basic $10 speakers outperform them.
Review: Set-up tips. - Seems like an excellent monitor. While setting up the base, and looking for a way to adjust the height, this only happens when the rather heavy monitor is attached to the base. Nice design. When connecting the monitor to your pc with any cable other rather than HDMI, the image will not appear on screen. You’ll need to go into the monitor buttons on the front right bottom of the unit and change the input to your cable type. The default input is HDMI.
