Can I also use this monitor for work (e.g. Word, Excel, etc.)? null

Short answer: Yes, of course.

More detailed answer: Yes, you can have it full screen.

Or you can split the window on either side of the screen using Windows 10/11's window snap feature by clicking, holding, and dragging the window to the middle sides of either end of the monitor. This gives you the option to have another window open of your choosing at 1920x1080 resolutions within your native aspect.

Additionally, you can use the PiP (Picture-in-Picture) mode to force whichever PiP option you'd like to utilize one video output for work and the other PiP to use for the other video output.

Of course, it's still just a PC monitor.

For standard work tasks (word, excel, etc) it's amazing.  I downloaded PowerTools from Microsoft and I'm using Fancy Zones within powertools to customize the way my windows snap.  I have 4 windows active side by side and it's an absolute dream to have all the real estate.

I wouldn't trust the color for color-critical work like photoshop or color grading video.  But for standard office stuff, heck yeah the screen real estate is mind-blowing and the text is super-sharp.

One caveat though - I'm driving the screen with my laptop's DP alt mode USB C and the monitor is super finicky when it wakes up from sleep mode.  I sometimes have to unplug and replug the monitor several times before it will go back to proper resolution.

Of course you can! It all depends on how capable the system you're running is. Also if you're doing photo or video work the HDR mode over saturates the colors. I found that out the hard way but for productivity it's really useful
