The display is well built and the stand is well designed, as others have indicated
Though I still have yet to get that perfect setting combo, I doubt I ever will
The stand is stylish and features a minimalistic design however it could also be improved, including a hight ajustment for example would make it perfect
Pro's - good value for 4k and size - well physically designed and constructed
Sleek design, speakers are not the greatest but honestly who uses the speakers on a monitor

Great picture, but the durability on it for me was trash.
The screen is bright, the picture is clear, and the number of inputs is great
Seems to be a bit sensitive to static as the picture will occasionally cut out when sitting down at my desk, but quickly comes back
It has great picture at half the price of competing TVs
I was very excited to receive this monitor but upon setting it up, the top left and bottom left of the screen shows pressurized distortion and blooming which ruins the picture

The screen is bright, the picture is clear, and the number of inputs is great
The manual says the screen is very fragile, so don't even touch it.
But that got worse as you can see in the picture, now the entire screen has vertical red garbage all over it
Basically, my screen looks like it has scan lines (from the old days CRTs) and the 4k resolution is unusable (reading is very uncomfortable at that resolution when you miss half of the horizontal lines).I lost the box with the manual a few months ago during a move so now I'm stuck with a very dark and completely unsharp (because of the missing horizontal lines) 1080 image which is ridiculous
Screen is great with very crisp display but the issue is with little bit of overall lag

Honestly, the fact that it is 4K is irrelevant given the poor quality of the display
You are going to get decent color reproduction but not necessarily the best for intense image editing or manipulation (fantastic quality though if you work with high resolution images)
I have experience good viewing angles, good blacks, great color reproduction, and great quality
It looks great, fantastic image quality, and base design
The options here are not spectacular and contribute greatly to the poor color quality

The pixels look crisp and the picture is stable, it's not flickering.
A pair of these with Windows 10 driven by a powerful CPU, say 8 core AMD and graphics card, say Radeon R9 270X DD or GeForce GTX1050, gives a wonderful twin 4K desktop system.
(Update) Horizontal driver developed annoying intermittent flicker

I purchased this in May and its now September, This monitor occasionally has a strange flicker and now has faint, notebook-like lines appearing in the top right-hand corner

Got a second one and after under 2 months of light use it started having flickering horizontal lines and lowered brightness thus making it unusable by me
By all means the monitor isn't terrible and unusable; it will function perfectly fine if all you need is 4K resolution running at 60Hz through HDMI and don't care about great colors, brightness and contrast
Both monitors also had very inconsistent brightness and screen flickering
But if you can squeeze a little more out of your budget, I would go with e a more reputable competitor.
The brightness is extremely lacking, there's a huge chance that you'll have dead pixels, the viewing angles are horrible, it heats up easily, and calibrating the monitor is a nightmare (Very old menus).I thought that I could deal with some issues for around $200, but I was wrong

I think people gave this monitor negative reviews because they dont know how to tweak the settings
Because as I awaited for "my baby" to get here, a stream of bad reviews rolled in about the monitor not being able to hit 4k resolution and a plethora of other issues
Dont let the bad reviews fool you, this is a great value for the money
But if you can squeeze a little more out of your budget, I would go with e a more reputable competitor.
Ordered this monitor based on good reviews on multiple of the company's products.

It seems like overall if they went through a bit better quality assurance, they would be great!
t work computer and
The settings control panel on the back has been said to be a bit difficult to use, but I have had no issue in using it and find that it is a once and done change for me as once you find a happy medium, you just leave it and change everything else from within the PC itself
I cannot say with any certainty whether being able to select DP from the menu would fix the issue, but it seems a bit odd to me that I cannot even open the menu unless there is something connected to the screen supplying video.
But if you can squeeze a little more out of your budget, I would go with e a more reputable competitor.

so it doesnt really bother me, the other complaint is that on the part where the stand mounts to the monitor the screws are very loose, not enough to cause issues, just enough to make it wobbly
Sadly, my unit came with wrong screws, I couldn't secure the stand to the monitor tightly causing the panel to wiggle with every slight movement

Shipped with 3 loose screws and one moving around inside the TV box, where the base joint is screwed to the frame of the TV
It also comes with a really well built screw driver to assemble its stand, or four standoffs in case you want to use a VESA mount

I began testing the monitor and found that while watching videos, a blurry horizontal line would come across the screen around the area where there was movement in the video
I dinged it 2 stars as my original one was defective (red lines randomly appearing and the screen would go black)
Today it started flickering horizontal lines all over the screen
The perfect budget 4K display.1 Star - Not quite two months later, after the return window closed, evenly spaced thin solid horizontal black lines now cover the display
