Good picture, with quite a few compromises in ergonomics.
Edited on 12.1.19: DisplayPort! very important.
Got me the monitor as a replacement for a 28Zöller. Good price, delivered quickly, simple design, was quickly assembled.
The base is fixed to the back of the display and is still screwed to the lowest part (the semicircular), which is not quite 100% stable (has very little play with me, although screw fully tightened). Has no VESA mount or so, is not height adjustable. The connections (2x HDMI, 1x DP and 1x jack for external Böxli, the monitor itself has no built-in speakers) go OK. The external power supply is fortunately relatively small and is plugged in with a hollow plug on the display. Necessary cables were included (1x CH, 1x DE, 1x HDMI). The on-screen menu takes some getting used to via the joystick button at the bottom center. Cheaper models can do that much better.
The picture is in the original resolution is really good, fun - of course seems good and just right for me noob. Working with Lightroom actually goes well, depending on whether you configure the monitor as primary or secondary display. Disadvantage with the Mac: Scaling is only possible when the good piece is connected via Display Port / MiniDisplayPort, but then really 1a: Image and size: Super!
Don't forget to connect it via HDMI to the Mac.
ICM profiles for the Mac are not explicitly available, but you can download the Win10-Zip-Supportfile, extract it and copy the profile out of there and put it into the corresponding folder and activate it.
Also positive: No dead pixels out of the box, as already with more expensive TFT.Pro
- Easy mounting
- Without much bells and whistles
- Good picture
- Good price
- For once no dead pixels out of the box.
- Via DisplayPort/MiniDisplayPort: Simply awesome on the Mac.
Contra
- No VESA mount
- Stand doesn't seem that stable, TFT not height adjustable.
- OSD needs getting used to
- No built-in speakers
Would buy the monitor again
The monitor has a brilliant and razor-sharp image. The response times seem okay to me in this respect. The XBOX X and PS4 run without any problems. I find the design simple and the edges are not too wide. Only the settings with the joystick at the back of the monitor I found a bit fiddly, but it works flawlessly.
Pro
- enough ports (2x HDMI 2.0 + Displayport)
- simple design
- at the special offer price a good offer
Very good price / performance
Very good factory display, comfortable to work with all day. Need it mainly for video postproduction and motion design.
Very good screen for those who watch a lot of movies/series and do video/photo editing.
Great screen, especially with the 289.- offer.
Beware of the contrast which is almost as low as on a tn panel.
On the other hand, beware of people on mac. Even with a usb-c to hdmi adapter, the system sees the monitor as a TV. So everything is tiny in terms of display. Moreover you are limited in 30Hz.
For the cable, I recommend the following: https://www.digitec.ch/fr...
But beware of demanding people, this screen is affected by the IPS glow & backlight bleeding. The brightness is very high, so I reduced it. Now you can see it very slightly.Pro

- price
- UDH
- viewing angle (IPS panel)
Contra
- feet not adjustable in height
