This is the best gift I've ever had.

My wife gave me this monitor for Christmas. This is the best gift I've ever had. Pros: - It's thin and light. It's only 4.76mm thick at its thinnest point. - It's big and bright. - It's a touchscreen. Personally, I can no longer imagine a laptop without a touchscreen. I can use it as a controller with my DAW. USB-C works flawlessly - it works as soon as you plug it into your computer and use the computer's power supply. I have used this device with Lenovo Yoga 720-15 and Lenovo Yoga 720-12. Indeed, this is a great addition to my 15-inch laptop - together they look like a dual-display workstation. When folded, the monitor does not take up much space. The monitor works with my Windows Phone (Lumia 950XL) without additional boxes, connected via USB-C, although I use an additional power cable (fortunately the monitor has a separate power input) - there are a great many cables, a power adapter and a remote control in the box YOU. Would give 5 stars but there are downsides: - The monitor doesn't save its settings when turned off. The default brightness is 30%. It's very annoying to have to set it up every time I turn it on. The remote control is pretty clunky and unusable. The only working buttons are volume up/down and power. The mute button doesn't work either. Something probably needs to be done, but I didn't pay much attention to that - The quality of the IPS panel is not up to date, but that's enough for me. However, I did not try to play video games.
