Super slim, convenient cabling.

Bought another cable, still didn't work

Only potential downsides are that the screen has some glare issues, and if you want to use a DisplayPort connection, you need to buy a proprietary cable or figure out some way to convert Micro-HDMI to DisplayPort.

While all the connections are a proprietary format into the monitor and special cables are required - the cables themselves aren't terribly expensive

I found another cable and it worked fine

aside from the proprietary cable the device uses

Especially given the difficulty of finding right angled cables with the desired facing

Cable issues

Four stars for using a non-standard, 'proprietary' HDMI cable (which are ~$20 to replace if out of warranty) with questionable quality

I reached out to the manufacturer and they replaced the faulty HDMI cable for free

My only negative to this is the proprietary cable

Lastly, the HDMI and USB cables can get messy because the cables can be too long if you just need the monitor to sit next to your laptop

I have no clue if this is an issue with multiple monitors, Nivida's drivers or my GPU setup, or the monitor itself, but as my last mini display seemed to work perfectly fine until the cable went kaput, I am lead to believe it is the Onlap causing the issue.

This doesn't make me feel good about buying another proprietary cable to (possibly) get displayport working in the application that I bought the monitor for.
