  1. Q2 202643/1002.6★7 reviews

    Buyers praise the image quality and ergonomics, but multiple reports of USB-C and HDMI connectivity failures, plus poor customer support, overshadow the positives.

    • Excellent color accuracy, 10-bit HDR, and smooth ergonomic adjustments.
    • USB-C connection drops or fails to work with MacBooks and other devices.
    • HDMI input fails to detect 4K signal, requiring workarounds to restore.
    • Customer support is unhelpful and blames user hardware instead of diagnosing.
  2. Q3 202520/1004 reviews

    Buyers reported severe green tint on multiple units, requiring manual calibration. Those who adjusted settings found the monitor otherwise good, sharp, and stable.

    • Green tint defect out of box, persists across units, needs heavy color adjustment
    • Display sharp and sturdy once green tint is corrected via manual calibration
    • Monitor works well as replacement, good picture quality and stable stand
