Question for the owners, would you buy this monitor again, or rather wave it off?
The monitor itself is really recommendable and the integrated docking station makes it possible to connect a USB-C/ThunderBolt-capable notebook via only one cable. You don't need a separate power supply for the notebook - if it can manage with the 65 watts supplied by the monitor - and any wired network is also routed to the notebook via the monitor and the single "little lever". All this results in a beautifully tidy workplace. Goodbye tangled cables.
The picture is - I don't have a direct comparison here - nice and sharp, there are hardly any visible differences in brightness. I think (from experience with earlier monitors) that the presets - especially RGB - are right.
The sound from the built-in speakers... hmmm... well.
The webcam is ok - for my taste a somewhat hard, rather cool picture (but that could probably be "pimped").
BUT: I just disposed of the packaging the day before yesterday. I am not "blessed" with a car. My goodness - what a mountain of polystyrene.
The other tenants in the apartment building must have noticed my annoyance from the cellar/laundry room.
Picture: Bright and sharp, lots of pixels, best for photo editing, worlds to my previous monitor (ok, it's also 0 years old).
Sound: weak, but I don't need it
Camera: picture quality sufficient, better than my laptop, retractable
Conclusion: I would buy the monitor again.
Yes, I still think it's tiptop after half a year of home office. It's a good overall package and I haven't seen anything yet that covers everything.
What is a disaster: the sound quality. Terribly poor, not even good enough for video conferences. I would look around for offers in the same price range that place more value on the speakers.
