Anyone who may be struggling to read at their computer needs to try this monitor before getting reading glasses, especially if you're in your 40s and on the tail edge of needing correction when using a computer. This monitor has a much higher PPI than a standard 1080p computer screen, the text is much sharper and the images are crisp. I was looking for a comparable screen to the Apple Studio Display and this is probably the closest you will get for the price! I can buy almost 3 of these before getting 1 Studio Display, and honestly the Studio Display is VERY pretty and has 5K resolution instead of 4K but I don't think most people's eyes will notice a difference.
I am using this with a MacBook Air M1 with 16GB RAM and it works perfectly, I've never had any issues with the screen. The trick is to set it to 1920x1080 (Default) instead of 1920x1080 low resolution. With the "Default" setting you will get the higher PPI but the monitor will SCALE up so your text size does not shrink. If you set this to 3840x2160 which is the native 4K resolution, your text will be very tiny and hard to read. With the 1920x1080 (Default) setting I get the best of both worlds so I'm very happy.
I have not tried to use the hub on this, but this has a ton of ports. I already have a DisplayLink dual monitor dock (which this works perfectly with), so I did not need to plug all my USB and other cables into the back of the monitor.
This display looks very attractive, the bezels are thin and disappear into the display. I heard the speakers suck, but I don't need it for that so I've not tried it. I removed the built in stand and mounted this to my VESA arm mount and it fits perfectly.
Just get this monitor, you won't regret it!!!!
