Let me start by saying this monitor is a STEAL for $250. The 4K resolution is crisp, and HDR makes my gaming sessions pop—I finally noticed shadow details in Elden Ring I’d never seen before. Google TV integration means I ditched my Fire Stick, though the preloaded apps feel cluttered (RIP, my home screen sanity).

The Type-C 65W PD is a game-changer—I charge my laptop while mirroring its screen wirelessly. But be warned: the built-in speakers sound like a tin can orchestra. I hooked up a cheap soundbar via Bluetooth (which works flawlessly, by the way).

Biggest gripe? The remote. It’s tiny, uses obscure CR302 batteries, and adjusting brightness feels like solving a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded. Also, color calibration out of the box was wonky—my Spiderverse Blu-ray looked radioactive until I tweaked settings.

For the price? Zero regrets. It’s my WFH multitasker by day (hello, split-screen Excel + Slack) and streaming hub by night. Just budget extra for speakers and patience.
