Superb screen, perfectible OS and connectivity to be reviewed
This screen is really magnificent. I use it all day to work (programming) and the width is really super comfortable. When the evening comes, it's gaming that takes over, and it's even better! What's more, I love the design, but that's all subjective. It comes with a USB-C rechargeable remote control and, contrary to what I'd read, includes stereo speakers that deliver very acceptable sound.
One small flaw that's easy to overlook is the sheer size of the transformer. OK, you need 220W, but it's bigger than the first X-BOX transformers, for those in the know. 21cm long, 10cm wide and 3.5cm thick for the rest of us :-).
The next negative point is that the OS is slow and can be improved. I use the mini display port to connect my gaming PC and the mini HDMI for my work Mac, and the screen doesn't know how to switch between the two depending on which computer is on. And when both are on, you have a choice in the menu between "PC" or... "PC', with no image for example, instead of 'HDMI' and 'DP' for example. So you often make a mistake by choosing the wrong entry, and the menu is slow, which makes the operation frustrating in the long run. This same OS throws two menu strips at you each time you switch on or wake up from standby, and they stay on too long. You can't deactivate them, which is annoying.
The most negative point for me is the connectivity. 2 USC-Cs, one mini HDMI and one mini display, when there's room for just two or three HDMIs. I struggled to find the right cable and the right adaptor, thanks to LDLC who really helped me out here. That's the big black spot.
In conclusion, it's a magnificent screen that can be difficult to use at first because of some questionable technical choices, but once you've mastered the menus and connections, you'll love staying in front of it.
