Infuriating design decisions

I borrowed this from someone during lockdown. They use a Mac, I use a PC. What is this obsession with minimalist design features such that it's not even considered necessary to provide some buttons to adjust the screen settings. The monitor was far too bright and I spent 15 minutes trying to find a way to adjust the setting. After looking online it appeared there is no way of doing this via the hardware. There is apparently an auto-sensor, which is clearly not a good idea unless it's complemented with a way to adjust it given that not everyone has the same preferences.
It seems that you can update the settings via iOS, but I don't actually believe there's a way to adjust the settings on your PC. Maybe if you install some driver you can, but why on earth should I have to go to that much effort when you could simply provide me a few buttons to update it in 30 seconds, rather than wasting 30 minutes only to have not even solved the problem. Terrible design.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this monitor to go with a new Apple Mac Mini as I had owned my old monitor for several years. I was literally shocked at how clear the picture is. I can read text on this monitor so much easier, than the old monitor. One of the best features is the fact that you just plug it into your Mac and enjoy. There is no buttons for adjustments, not even an on-off button. You simply start your computer and the picture is in perfect settings.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought this Monitor because of Quality, features and adaptability with my iMac. But unable to connect another laptop with HDMI
Pros: Style/Design, ease of use, Features/Settings, Performance, Quality
I got these via Woot, and I've attempted to swap to a thunderbolt cable instead of the supplied USB-C hoping it would solve the issue. Result is I constantly have to pull cables out of the MacBook and plug them back in. This resets brightness and in general is pretty annoying. I see people online state cables, or firmware updates, but after almost 8 months now I've had no luck. I have no idea if its Mojave power issues or the monitors. Either way its 2 step backwards and one step forward.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I mounted it on a vesa arm and we are using them side to side. Color and detail match the 21 inch 2017 iMac almost perfectly. Speakers were a surprise bonus. Only complaint is that the usb-c cable was not long enough to hide by passing down the channels in the two arms. However, it probably would be if you are using a double monitor vesa mount.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great with MacBook and Apple Magic keyboard. Excellent color and clarity. Speakers not bad either for a small desk and work area. Simple set up.
Pros: Style/Design, ease of use, Features/Settings, Performance, Quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this with my recent Macbook Pro purchase from Apple. Very simple connections/easy set-up/interface with the MBP. Best monitor I have ever had....crisp image, easy on the eyes.
