Awesome companion for a MacBook Pro

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered this a few weeks ago to go with a 16" MacBook Pro. It not only works great as a larger monitor, but serves as a docking station as well, allowing me to keep an external drive, ethernet, USB audio DAC, and cables for phone and iPad connected to the monitor, so that I only have to plug in the Thunderbolt cable. This provides power to the laptop, feeds the video to the monitor, and connects the passthrough USB ports and Ethernet.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice monitor overall. I'd appreciate if we had a monitor arm option for it too, at purchase time. I'm sure there are technical challenges to it, but it would be nice to have quicker KVM switch times too. Other than that, happy with it!
Great Monitor but terrible instructions. Took hours to get it working. For example, the mouse was jerky, and the network kept dropping out. Nowhere did it tell me that the USB cable back to the computer had to be connected to a high-speed USB port. I connected a SSD to the USB-C port to be able to transfer files between computers. It is slower than when it was connected directly to the computer, but works as a drive that switches between computers. Also it took me a while to get my speakers working. I had to go into the menu and turn the internal speakers off. Now I have better sound. With the keyboard, mouse, power for the speakers and SSD all the USB ports are used up. I don't have a Thunderbolt 4 drive so I couldn't check to see if it switched properly between computers.
