    Amazing screen. It’s bright and when playing Xbox it’s smooth with 144hz. It does take a few seconds long to auto input. It works great on Mac mini too. I use usb c thunderbolt connector works nice.

    I’m glad this monitor is on Best Buy now. I have 3 on my desk and I’ve been happy. Excellent design and the glossy display is the best.

    I absolutely love the glossed screen. I find that monitors that are 2-3x more expensive look far worse with the matte finishes. Sometimes changing between inputs can be fidgety, but turning it on and off fixes that.

    Finicky with connectivity issues

    I bought this directly from the manufacturer before it was available via Best Buy, and have been using it for several months now as a thunderbolt monitor attached to my laptop. When it is on and working, the image quality is very nice and the overall design looks good. However, with several different laptops, I experience constant freezing and connectivity issues: The first thing I noticed is that this monitor takes longer than others to "link" with laptops, especially on Thunderbolt. It seems to think for a minute, connect and reconnect, and then finally come to life. It also has some sort of weird USB device that shows up in the windows taskbar that other USB hub monitors don't. The biggest issue is when resuming from standby/sleep. It is a total gamble whether the monitor will wake up. Recently it seems like a 50/50 chance. If the monitor does not wake up, the only thing that will get it working again is pulling the power cord from the monitor and plugging it back in. And when I do that, I frequently get "weird" behavior on the laptop like flickering graphics. Often the monitor shows up in the windows Display Properties as a generic monitor with no data/info and what looks like a 640x480 resolution. So something is very off. Other gripes are that the OSD is very poorly designed and clunky to use, and that the downstream USB power never seems to exceed 50 watts, even though the monitor is rated for 90. Finally, I note that in the time I've had this, I have used a Surface Laptop Studio, Dell XPS 15, and HP Spectre, along with multiple different certified USB4 / TB4 cables. These behaviors have been consistent across them, so I strongly believe it is simply that the monitor is not really functioning properly.

    Once you go glossy... everything else seems mossy

    Once you go glossy... everything else seems mossy... ~you never go back. These monitors are next level, I bought one specifically because of the glossy surface. I never thought I would see these being sold on Best Buy, but it definitely makes it an easier purchase for those that have been hesitant on ordering direct.

    The Clearest Display Money Can Buy

    The contrast isn’t great since its edge lit, but man is the image clear. Makes all other matte monitors look bad.

    Outdated

    This company has been “developing” the state of the art monitor that sets them apart from the rest, only to be delayed by like 4 years. Yes you heard it right, they promosed this monitor 4 years ago. Supposedly they were going to be the 1st. Guess their delays held them back, and actual companies produced better monitors with higher specs while this company still continued to finalize their outdated spec monitor. You can buy a 32 4k 1ms 165hz oled monitor for the same price. I preordered this monitor years ago with a small deposit towards it, they supposedly refunded me the money. I have yet to see where they refunded that deposit to. Its a trash company that will not go anywhere. I do not recommend these monitors at all.

    Absolutely a scam company that will only deliver this monitor because its best buy, if you order on their website you will mever get it. They will NOT even acknowledge the claimed warranty and just block /ignore you if you have an issue. DO NOT BUY. Report to best buy to drop the product. If you need a software update, their website is always down and dough employees DELETED THE DOWNLOAD LINKS, you have to go to sketchy reddit re uploads to fix day 1 software bugs. I do own one and have spent tens of thousands at best buy so olease dont delete review best buy mods- drop this brand!
