Working Great monitor but weird

Excellent screen and picture, no complaints. However, there are a few features to keep in mind if you are considering buying this. If nothing is connected to the screen, the screen will turn off and on again until something is connected.2. When I plugged it into my 2016 13" Macbook Pro (USB-C to Micro-USB for screen power and USB-C to HDMI for video) it restarted my Macbook and it turned off and I was able to Won't turn back on for almost an hour (fear the hell with me). I don't know what caused this, but I won't do it again.3. The built-in kickstand is nonsense. It has only one corner and is not adjustable, only one corner. And the angle is about 45 degrees, so you need to get pretty close to see it clearly when using it on a table. Of these 3 quirks, the kickstand bothers me the most. I wish they had a bottom or rear tripod mount or a vesa mount. I solved this problem by simply adding Velcro to the back. If they were selling a newer version of the same monitor but with the option to mount it I would be very happy to buy it.

Pros
  • Well made
Cons
  • Big and bulky
