A: Hi Rayjd93, Yes you can have them both connected at the same time but you will need to switch the input manually between both (only 1 image can display at a time). Note that this is an ultrawide monitor and PS5 & XBOX currently dont support ultrawide resolutions, so there will be black bars on both sides of the screen. Hope this helps! - John
A: Hi MG, Yes this monitor is compatible with macbooks. Our software (OSD Sidekick) however isnt current available on Mac OSX Hope this helps. - John
A: Hi Kit, Yes you will have no problem using your monitor and laptop at their respective resolution. You can retain your 1080p 144hz on your laptop and still use the 144hz WQHD resolution on the monitor. Hope this helps! - John
Q: Can this monitor be mounted on a monitor arm vice the provided stand?
A: Yes, but the the mounting point is recessed 1/4inch. I had to buy a few different wall mounts till I found one that worked.
A: undefined
Q: can i run this monitor without a pc
A: Hi John, You don't need to use a Desktop PC. You can connect this to consoles, laptops, tablets (via USB C), and smart TV devices as well. Ideally to utilize the 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio it will only be supported on laptops and desktop computers. Hope this helps! - John
Q: Can the USB-C port be used as just a data port (like with external data drives)?
A: Hi RBurnham, The port is only able to support video in and out. There is no data transfer capabilities at this time, but we do have a USB 3.0 Hub built into the monitor. Hope this helps! - John
Q: Is this monitor HDCP compliant?
A: It is HDCP 2.2 compliant

Great monitor!
This monitor checks all the boxes. 144hz, built in KVM switch, gsync compatible, and great color. I was able to buy this monitor on sale and honestly at the price point its hard to beat. Buy it, you wont regret it.

Productivity monster
Amazing monitor that has improved my productivity at work with the vast landscape while not moving to a multi monitor setup. The refresh rate is exactly what I wanted for moving quickly around different windows through out the day. I tried this out on war zone a handful of times and was happy with the ultra wide landscape in the game.

Great Monitor!! Would buy again.
Loving this monitor. Great for work & gaming. Not all games support the Ultra Wide, but for those that do, it's amazing. Looks great. For work, it's pretty much like having two screens but i enjoy it more than 2 screens for play. Oh and that 144hz - smooth as butter. I used a wall mount because the stand is pretty massive.
