Author’s Notes:

IMPORTANT:

How To Assemble the Monitor

1. When setting up this monitor we recommend positioning the box on the desk itself in the orientation you want to it will be positioned on the desk. (Make sure the box can not fall off your desk if you have a small desk you’ll want to do it on the ground first.
2. Assemble the ARM with the 4 screws provided.
3. Attached the Leg to the arm with the 1 screw provided.
4. Remove the cover piece from the arm so when you are lifting it it does not slide out accidently. (open the headphone hanger piece before removing this cover piece)
5. Do not put wires on yet You can do that easily once you have the monitor on the desk.
6. Place monitor on desk, get help as needed and make sure your contact points are secure and tight enough (do not over or under tighten).
7. Place monitor on desk.
8. Connect appropriate cords. (HIHLY recommend using the display port NOT the HDMI connection for optimum resolution and refresh rates to be possible.
9. Put covers on once complete.

Conclusion

Great monitor for productivity, IF you are willing to put the time and effort into configuring it and setting it up correctly. We strongly believe this monitor is overpriced it is just unfortunate there is not a direct competitor in the same class as this one so we did have to spend 2000+ for it, we suspect the price will quickly come down in the next 2 – 3 years at the most.

    1. IMPORTANT: We recommend opening Chrome browser and typing: chrome://flags/ then search for Dark and when you find it on Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents then go to the pull down menu and select the one that says “Enable with selective inversion of non image elements” this way it will not invert images so and this allows the images to some up otherwise you will not see some images such as the plus icon in google chat.
