I bought it recently, It’s a valuable choice for long-term and daily use, such as working, studying, and searching. The fantastic screen quality, eye comfort features, and numerous ports are its advantages. Althought it’s expensive, I give it five stars because it fulfills my expectations, such as quality, acceptable speed, and being eye-friendly.

Overall very good monitor and USB hub. I'm using it on MacBook and the image came out sharper than what I expected when listening to some reviews. I did notice a very slight vignetting at the bottom of the screen on some stuff but I'm not sure if it's just my model or not, it's not very noticeable unless you're staring right at it.

This might be a 5-star monitor for some, but unfortunately, it didn't work out for me. I loved the clean, chinless design with no branding on the front. I loved the amount of connectivity--that pop-down hub on the left is so useful, and the Ethernet is a great extra feature. I loved having 120hz. The panel had no backlight bleed and felt very uniform. The KVM worked quickly to swap between my PC and my Macbook.
But for whatever reason, the monitor gave me awful eye strain. I tried everything--adjusting height, distance, brightness, contrast, scaling, and nothing seemed to help. Most of the strain seemed to come while using my Mac, and I learned that 4K does not scale properly within MacOS, leading to slightly blurry edges. Because my primary use-case for this monitor is text and writing (I stare at words for many hours a day), this was not acceptable. I've since changed to an Asus 5K monitor, and the improvement in clarity is obvious.
Text is crisp and scaled properly within Windows, so if you are a PC user, this monitor will probably be fine for you. But some Mac users, particularly those who need perfect clarity, may have issues. I also experienced the dreaded "coil whine" issue after about a week of use, and it's not nearly as bad as some people make it out to be if you don't share a bedroom with your computer. However, for something of this price, I would expect better quality control.
I do recommend the monitor, because I'm sure it will work great for most people.

I’ve been using this for about two months and it’s just a great monitor. It’s easy to set up and the features are intuitive. The built in docking station is well thought out.
