I thought this monitor was the answer to all my prayers: a vista to rival the horizon, a LED speaker which "powered by Harman Kardan" should sound infinitely better than my notebook, as well as an onboard KVM capability, Bob would surely be my Uncle (well actually is, but you get my drift) having this monitor. The first disappointment was hearing nothing at all pouring forth from the speaker I had such aspirations for. Fast forward after coming the internet, I find it did function plugged into the USB hub I added to my notebook, but not in its own ports. Secondly, the USB pod which pops down on the front of the monitor designed for strategic input of your mouse and keyboard, would have been just nifty as hell, had the two ports worked. This then rounded out all four USB ports being as useful as pockets on underwear. Lastly, any attempts I've mounted to update the monitor's firmware sadly also have met a similar flimsy fate. Through HDMI as well as both USB-C modalities, it just doesn't function. Neither my Legion laptop, nor my ThinkPad X1 Carbon have a DisplayPort, but should not matter given they both have Thunderbolt 3 capable USB-C, the emerging standard. You could have been Awesome, but unfortunately underachieve at just attractive picture.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Compared to other ultra wide screen monitors this monitor has the best bang for your buck. With 2 USB C 2 HDMI 4 NOEMAL USB and with a built in portable speak you can't go wrong !
Excellent monitor! Default configuration is a bit weird as opposed to other monitors but once you get used to playing around with the settings you should be good.
I haven’t been able to get the speaker working with my Mac mini though and there’s not enough documentation on how to achieve that.
Great monitor, very easy to install. The only major cons for me the software that isn’t friendly to use and useless. For my job I use Google Meet, in that software I can only select the full screen or a window. I was hoping that the software allow to create 2 “virtual” monitors so Meet would allow me to share only one part on the big screen.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I weirdly had a lot of issues with the speaker while it was plugged into a Legion laptop. The screen is beautiful but the speaker caused lots of issues. I upgraded my laptop recently and that solved all the issues. But I do recommend the monitor. Just make sure your computer has the power to work it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall great monitor. Only gripe is that the placement of power button too close to the select button causing issues when switching between inputs.
