Rated 5 out of 5 by from It's a beaut A wonderful monitor. I use it for browsing and some gaming. This is my first ultrawide monitor. I didn't know I needed one. I was wrong. I don't play any extreme games, so the solid 144Hz is to be expected; what I didn't expect is how great it is for stuff like shopping or checking out maps and the like. The weather app I use is so gorgeous that I want to hang the monitor on the wall as art! Everybody needs one of these. They just don't know it yet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from BEWARE - THERE IS NO KVM FEATURE AS ADVERTISED I purchased this monitor through a different retailer in December 2019, but have been so very frustrated from day 1. Cons: - THERE IS NO KVM FEATURE AS ADVERTISED. There is an extensive thread about this on the Lenovo community forums (which Lenovo ignores). I bought the monitor excited to have my work and personal laptops both connected via USB-C only (power + data) and an easy way to switch between inputs. NOPE. You have to use the HORRIBLE on-screen display (OSD) and it takes at least 11 button clicks to switch between the two devices. It's literally easier to just switch cables, which wears out the cables and the ports on the laptops/computers and defeats the purpose. - Not enough USB-A ports on the back. And if you use the included USB speaker (I wouldn't recommend it, it sounds absolutely terrible), it takes up 2 ports (there are only 2 on back). - Only one audio-out port, on the pop-down front-hub so you have to have a speaker cable sticking out in the front of the monitor - so unless you don't use a plug-in external speaker, you will have to have this hidden hub and the speaker cable exposed at all times. - The Lenovo "Artery" software to control some of the monitor features is total garbage. It looks like it was programmed by a couple of teenage incels in their free time after school. - The OSD is terrible. The buttons feel cheap and like they're going to break. The menu is difficult and unintuitive to navigate. And since you have to do it constantly to switch inputs, you get to live with it. - If you do leave two devices connected, prepare for the connection to constantly reset. I use the USB-C 10G and USB-C 5G connections. If one of the devices goes to sleep or turns off, it will reset everything to the 10G port no matter what, even if the 10G device was never turned on and only the 5G device was in use. This causes me to have to use the 11-key-press OSD switcheroo even when I shouldn't have needed to. Pros: - The power supply over USB-C does work well - The image quality is good and the high refresh rate is nice as long as your video card AND cable can support it (I came to find that my work laptop couldn't push this resolution at 144Hz, but my personal laptop could - and I had to buy a new cable to make it work). - The size is immense and awesome. People are blown away when they see it - I like that the included stand has height and tilt adjustments

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good monitor, Weird Speaker The monitor is great , you get the specs you pay for and its a quiality build. I hate the speaker After messing with this speaker for various reasons, I found out how to get this to work. It will not work via the HDMI connections, only USB & USB C on PC or Display port. ON top of that if you find ur speaker sounds like there are flies in it. Open the sound settings and turn off enhancements as well as make sure the sampling is at a lower rate. After this, it works perfectly. While it looks great it's such a sloppy execution. Not to mention it takes up the rear USB ports ....... The ones in the front look nice and all but it looks terrible powering the speaker lol FAIL........ The speaker sounds decent, looks decent, but it's not customizable .... for this cost it should be integrated w the Lenovo RGB app or hardon ( If there is one hook me up, right meow. Most RGB has this unless you cheap out and this baby is not cheap. The monitor itself is great IMO. Hope any of this helps  Lenovo send me something for ur ugly speaker pains

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good marketing but poor performance I’m sure this is a great monitor for gaming but it’s NOT for console gaming. Use for PC gaming as the aspect ratio is too restrictive on a console ....

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome monitor I love this monitor the picture quality is amazing. The only thing that I am bit upset about is that it doesn't have a dedicated KVM switch button. I have to switch my mouse and keyboard back and forth between two computers, and the process is delayed by having to go through a menu. A dedicated KVM switch would have made this more productive, bit I have solved that issue by buying a KVM switch on Amazon.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The monitor that does it all I've been very happy with this monitor so far. This is my first ultra-wide. Previously I used 3 1080p monitors with one vertical. I primarily work in SQL and spreadsheets, with occasional gaming. This monitor excels for productivity and gaming. Looking at a table in 32:10 is glorious! And then gaming at 144hz at this ratio almost feels like cheating. Can't go back to smaller screens after this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from NOT 4k.... While this is a perfectly great 1080p monitor, this is NOT 4k. You res would need to be 5120x2160 to be a true 4k monitor. This is a marketing game basically. It has 4k pixels, but only because it's so wide. Pls understand this before you buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best addition to my home office, fast shipping! This monitor was exactly what I was looking for! It is beautiful, let's me connect multiple machines with picture-in-picture screen split, and has transformed my work productivity. It also looks amazing for gaming, and doesn't require as much gpu horsepower as an ultrawide 1440p monitor, but looks just as good to me. It was cheapest direct from Lenovo, and shipped incredibly quick! I had it just a few days after ordering, way faster than Amazon these days.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Monitor and Great overall value. It's overall a very nice monitor and I got it for a great price. About $200-300 less than newegg or amazon by purchasing it directly from Lenovo. It's got a great picture, plenty of room. The FPS on Doom Eternal with my 1080GTX is great. Very easy to assemble, lightweight but durable. The only issue I had was getting the speaker to work but a quick search online resolved it with hooking up the return USB 3. I would recommend based on the quality and price I think this one provided the best overall value.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Big bada-boom This thing is huge. In hindsight i might have chosen a somthing a bit smaller. However...It is a glorious screen. Wanna play a game and read articles at the same time. This does it. Wanna work on school work,with the instructions up,and a browser for research at the same time? This screen allows you to do that. It takes up most of my desk and was a pretty penny but it is oh so worth it. Modern games take advantage of its aspect ratio to display so much more. Older games can require some tweaking to look best on the screen. It's fast and its nice to see the buttery smoothness of game that can take advantage of its 144fps. My only real gripe is its brightness settings turning down after waking from sleep which require a powering off and on of the monitor via power button to return to normal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stunning display. Visuals wise (which is what a monitor is mostly about), this thing is mind-boggling. Super fast, crisp, clear, and easy on the eyes. I was worried at first it would be too big to be comfortable to play on for extended periods. It is not and I'm very happy with it. My only issue is that the speaker that came with it apparently doesn't have an internal mic, or mine doesn't work properly. I've tried to run a few zoom calls through it and nobody can hear me, or they hear way too much and have to mute me. Still trying to troubleshoot that, but that's the only issue I have with it. Otherwise 5 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from best for the price. I am mostly pleased with my decision to buy the Lenovo y44w although it was a compromise between specs and price it does fulfill my requirement in a monitor. the main feature for me to purchase is the usb type c connection. it performs as advertised and has been very reliable in as much as performance and connecting to my computer. I would like to see a different menu format and a little lower price. I would buy this monitor again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from For Gaming and Work...4 Stars Excellent for gaming and work, very well constructed, but there are some issues that, all together, bothered me. This is definitely worth the price of being on sale, but not worth the original $1200 price tag to me. The viewing angle is bad…anywhere but straight on and you get that washed out look. There is a brief black screen (about 6 seconds) every time you go from inside a game to the desktop. Getting the sound to work was a hassle, as the instructions only show to plug the USB cables into the back of the monitor and then the micro USB into the speaker itself. This doesn’t work. You also need to plug the other Micro/USB cable into the monitor and then into your PC in addition to the USB cable that goes into the speaker. At first, I called their support, but was hung up on…so I just figured it out myself. The other reason I bought this monitor was so that I could also play my PS4 through it w/ audio. You’ll need to plug the 2nd Micro/USB cable into your PS (instead of PC) in order for the audio to come out of the speaker, but unfortunately it was too quiet. My computer has a surround sound setup, so I’m not that concerned for my PC, but I was hoping for decent audio on the PS4. The settings menu on the monitor itself are just clunky and counterintuitive. I went to register this and once I put in the serial it said it expired in 1970 and that it’s “Out of Warranty” so I couldn’t register it. That eventually got worked out after contacting their support. The automatic scanning software /site for Drivers/Bios/Registration to detect your product doesn’t work, regardless of the browser and allowing everything necessary on the page…it just says “We cannot detect your product. Please try to Browse or Search,” which is not a big deal because you can manually do it, but it’s just another clunky thing to deal with. Immediately after purchasing I get a coupon code. I contact support to see if I could please apply this to my order…nope. Again, this isn’t that big of a deal, but come on…I just spent $1k…give me the coupon already. It was also missing the power cord…. Trying to contact Support through their site besides chat just leads you in circles. Calling only gets you an abundance of menus to navigate, new numbers to call, and hung up on. The “Lenovo Artery” software is pretty decent (this allows you to tweak everything though a GUI on your desktop), but I’ve yet to get the PIP to work properly with DP/HDMI from my desktop. I can get it to work with the PS4 (which unfortunately has to be done through that clunky on-monitor settings menu), but not the PC. The speaker light looks great, and you can change the colors, but I typically leave it off because it’s distracting. So, yes, for Gaming and Work…4 stars (mainly the viewing angle is why I deducted 1 star and it wouldn’t be a full star if I could; otherwise this thing is gorgeous for gaming, and G-Sync works just fine with it, as well…I’m using a SC RTX 2080) All of the other clunky, counterintuitive, rude, and other nonsense that comes with owning this…2 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A good 2019 monitor, mediocre 2021 one. For context, I would like to state that I was previously using a 24" 1440p 144hz monitor from Dell since 2016. So as you could probably guess, coming from a 24 inch to 43.4 inch had me super excited. Putting apps side by side is a joy and helps productivity a lot but takes some getting used to. Be prepared to see black bars if you fullscreen anything. This is my review of the Legion Y44w-10 after over a week of use. I am using Lenovo's Legion 7i laptop with a 3080 through a proprietary TB4 to DP 1.4 cable that is not included. You should also be able to use the included USB-C to C cable to connect and use this display's full features as long as the port you are connecting to supports video output. This is a 32:10 display with a 3840 x 1200 resolution. While this is technically considered 4K, it is not true 4K resolution like the LG-27GP950-B with 3840 x 2160 resolution. As such, this display has a rather mediocre 92.7 pixels per inch due to how big the monitor is. I didn't think this would bother me as much but from the distance that I sit away from the monitor (~1.5 feet) I would see the "screen door" effect, where it becomes easy to distinguish individual pixels. This is not a fault of the monitor as I should have done a bit more digging into monitor ppi. The upside to a lower resolution is it allows your GPU to push a higher framerate in games. Speaking of framerates, my laptop was able to push about 55 FPS in Horizon: Zero Dawn at ultra settings at this resolution. On a true 4K display I am able to reach 40 FPS with the same graphical settings while on a 2560x1600 display I am able to push 75+ FPS. As such, this display is still more in line with 4K than it is with 2K. Some AAA games will not be able to reach the 144Hz refresh at ultra settings, however eSports titles will with current RTX 30 and RX6000 laptop and desktop cards. USB Behavior: There are 2 USB-C ports. One is able to carry essentially a DP 1.4 signal while the other is used for the 4x USB-A and aux ports on the monitor itself if you are using a standard DP 1.4 or HDMI 2.0 cable. The 4x USB-A ports and aux jack can only be controlled by one USB-C input cable. To change where this data is sent, you must go into the OSD and change it manually. This is especially frustrating as the monitor defaults to the USB-C Alt DP connection despite having the other USB-C to USB-A cable connected to another computer already. Altering this setting will be reset once the monitor needs to change resolution or standby. The only fix to this is to not have a cable plugged into the USB-C alt DP port (not just leaving the cable to hang). Note: The higher bandwith USB-C is able to drive the panel at full resolution 144Hz with Freesync. Lenovo Artery is pretty bad and there seems to be no updates to the program for a couple of years now. Not only is the program laggy, it also frequently does not display the current resolution and refresh rate correctly. Using PIP is just not smooth and PBP can cause a lot of weird bugs pertaining to saturation of the display. PBP on my unit results in one input extremely oversaturated, to the point of text illegibility. This can be fixed temporarily through either turning the monitor off and back on again and/or changing the resolution of the oversaturated input. PBP limits both inputs to 60Hz. The OSD is pretty basic for 2021. MacOS: I had no problem connecting an M1 MBP to the display via USB-C to C. This notebook only supports a single display at 60Hz so it was very nice to have a larger display in this scenerio. The HDMI 2.0 ports: The monitor still uses HDMI 2.0 and you cannot force a PS5 to use 8 bit color with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling to bludgeon your way to 4K 120 hz with HDMI 2.0. Furthermore, I don't believe the port on the monitor itself is able to accept that type of signal. The PS5 will instead run at 1080p 60 with black bars on the left and right sides as the PS5 does not support ultrawide aspect ratios at the time of writing this review (Haven't seen the PS5 do 1080p 120 yet although this should be possible). I would recommend using PBP with a computer to make use of the empty space, assuming you can get the colors to work. Otherwise, the HDMI 2.0 ports will offer 3840 x 1200 at 100Hz if you are connecting to a computer with either HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 output. Freesync will not work with HDMI 2.0. Panel Quality: I haven't used many other displays to give a definite answer to how this panel is comparatively, but from my usage it seems that the "Fast" overdrive setting gives the best pixel response times without ghosting. This is, however, still not fast enough to compensate to the problem most low and mid range VA panels have: black level smearing. Trailing artifacts during mouse movements were okay. As an aside, there is no backlight strobing available on this monitor which is expected when considering its release date. My unit had almost no noticible backlight bleed even at max brightness with an even, rich black throughout the length of the display. This is one of the advantages of a VA panel as opposed to an IPS. Lenovo seems to be using a single zone backlight for this display. Don't even think about FALD. Looking at reviews of other VA panels, it seems that Samsung has a better all-round VA at this point, although at a higher pricepoint and possible horizontal flickering issues. Regarding HDR: this monitor is able to accept a 10 bit color depth from the DP1.4 port (Haven't tried with the other ports). The peak brightness on the monitor is subpar (as expected for HDR400) and I would recommend keeping HDR in Windows off, as it results in a grayed out overall color and not much benefit from the display's 400 nits peak instantanous brightness. Overall I would say this is a mediocre panel in terms of response times and color reproduction. Speakers: Highs sound tinney, mids are bland, and bass is missing. On a desk my laptop speakers actually sound better. If you are buying a monitor at this pricepoint I would recommend spending an extra $50-100 on a separate set of speakers. I use the Bose Mini Soundlink II which is all round better than the included speakers by a lot but still not perfect. The included speaker also takes up both of the USB-A ports on the back of the monitor. You can cycle through a couple of colors for the speaker via a button on the module. Stand: A very heavy plastic and metal affair. Easy to install and has exceptional turn, tilt, and height adjustments even for 2021. As expected, it does not rotate in any direction. The stand might be my favorite part of the entire package. No screws needed. OVERALL THOUGHTS: This would have been considered a good panel in 2019. But in 2021 the monitor scene has changed drastically. 4k 160Hz monitors exist without using multiple cables, miniLED is making an appearance, manufacturers are pushing 1080p 360+ Hz, etc. In the current state of monitor technology this is just a mediocre display. Okay response times, lack of HDMI 2.1, 144Hz limitation, poor software and HDR support, and general lack of 32:10 content support in the world hold this monitor back. The 43.4 inch ultrawide display market is still fairly rare, so if that size is what you are looking for I think you will get what you pay for but nothing more.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Very Good Gaming Monitor I've been pretty satisfied so far. My major reasons for upgrading from my 32" Ultrawide 1080P monitor was I wanted a slightly higher resolution and a higher refresh rate. After looking at the 49" monitor (too big) and the 38" ultrawide from another brand (too expensive), I landed on this Lenovo and I'm very glad I did! First off, it's a great design that looks terrific on my desk. The RGB for the speaker adds a little to the design as well. The 43" size is perfect for my work (I use spreadsheets alot) and my gaming. Here are my pros: 1) Design (looks great!). Also, the base is solid and holds this huge monitor very, very well. I also enjoy the tilting and height adjustments features. Very smooth and easy to use. 2) The quality of the screen is solid if not outstanding. The 144mhz refresh rate makes a huge difference and the resolution is a nice balance between the aged 1080P and1440P (which I personally thinks is too small a resolution for a screen this big). 3) Even though Nvidia hasn't certified this monitor as G-Sync compatible, it runs G-Sync perfectly with a buttery smooth picture, especially in gaming. 4) I play alot of more current games and all of them are fully compatible with this monitor's unique aspect ratio. No black borders on any games and the immersive gameplay from this perfectly curved monitor is nothing short of impressive. For instance, COD MW runs perfectly at 180 to 200 fps, partnered with my RTX 3070. Rocket League runs at a staggering 400 to 500 fps with perfect colors and smooth graphics. 5) I thought most of the preset picture settings were fine. I tweaked them a hair but it was nice to have something right out of the box that didn't require an hours worth of adjustments. The Cons: 1) The OSD is not intuitive at all. Very irritating to use in fact, but again since I haven't had to make alot of adjustments so far, it's not a huge deal. That being said I wish Lenovo had taken a page from LG and used a joystick design. 2) Although the speaker has RGB, the speaker sound itself is unremarkable to say the least. Also, connecting with the Bluetooth was problematic at best. I have an inexpensive set of Bose speakers that I decided to keep using instead of the included speaker just due to the bass alone. The included speaker sounded tinny with almost no bass whatsoever. But I still left the speaker installed with the RGB on as I like the look. 3) I have been able to connect a second PC to this monitor but the KVM is pretty awkward and not easy to use. Again, the OSD here needs some work. 4) I wish Lenovo had designed a better cable management system for this monitor. I was relieved the base had the three holes cut out on each side as it allowed me to use cable ties to hide the cords somewhat. But the design and positioning of power and connection outlets could have been better. All in all I'm extremely satisfied with my choice and the pricing was very reasonable compared to other similarly sized monitors. I'd definitely recommend this if you're looking for a great gaming monitor that can also easily handle your normal day to day needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Recommended for the price of below $700 before tax This is incredible, but I ended up getting the ThinkVision version. I like the more cleaner look of the stand. I really wanted the speakers of the Y44 since it was compatible to put on the thinkvision or the stand of the thinkvision move to the Legion Y44. I jumped through hoops trying to get what I wanted. It was tiresome, but I ended paying an extra $$ because I dislike the Y44 stand. If you don't mind that, I definitely recommend this product that includes speakers. Cheaper price!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Happy with It. I’ve been using this monitor for about a week now and I REALLY like it! I am going from dual 24-inch 1920x1200 monitors to this, which is essentially the same size without the gap in-between. I will be using this monitor for work, gaming, and my own personal photography. The color is very good, (it probably needs a little tweaking, but not much) the 144 Hz refresh rate is awesome. Spreadsheets go on for a week with this thing! Tomb Raider and Civilization games take on a whole new level of immersion, and while it’s not as good as being in VR, using it with TrackIR and DCS is pretty amazing too. Over all I am really impressed with the build quality and am very happy with it. The built in pseudo-KVM, while clunky, does work once you get the hang on of it. The manual suffers from a distinct lack of any clue as to how the KVM is supposed to work and it’s mostly a trial by error feature, but once you understand it it works pretty well. If the monitor has a weakness though, that’s it. A firmware update could make the switch between one monitor output / usb bus to the other smoother. Turn this KVM feature into a one button event and it would improve the star rating immensely.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Monitor for multi-use systems Great Monitor, the product discribed is the product that came. The image is sharp, wide, fast and smooth. The extra speaker that came is a great addition and fits the setup nicley even with the light. I with the screen came with a remote or the onscreen buttons could be made easier to navigate (disclaimer I have not read the manuel so this could be user) however, I am capable with technology and the game mode is great nore the source switch sequance. Also, why not have 2 display ports, only one display port limts options. Overall I like the screen and would recommend it. The price is great for the quality of the product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great monitor This is a GREAT monitor.

But the actual screen real estate that is obtained with the monitor is enough for me for work and games.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not too happy with it... I bought it about a week ago. The monitor itself is OK but there are a few shortcomings that are very annoying. The speaker that comes with it is USB and requires two USB-A ports connected to receive power. This means that you will lose two ports on the monitor. Because it is USB, it will only receive audio from the computer that it is currently connected to and because the audio signal is not coming from HDMI or DP sources, when you switch to another computer, you will not hear the speaker UNLESS you change the USB source to be the other computer. Sounds confusing and it is but it is exactly the confusion when systems integrators don't look for easy ways to get things done for their customers. It would have been preferable to add the speaker to the monitor directly rather than a cheap mono speaker with Harman Kardon branding to make it sound like you're getting something good... Another issue that I'm having is that while my MacBook air M1 plugs right in to either USB-C port and provides a great picture, the compatibility is not too solid... My Samsung Galaxy S6 Tablet will not work with this at all over USB-C and I've tested it on an external $150 USB C monitor I have for travel and it works great with that but not with my $1200 Lenovo Legion... On a positive note, PBP works well once you figure it out and the Lenovo Artery software is actually pretty neat and easy to use BUT the PIP mode ALWAYS gives you a 32:10 aspect ratio EVEN if you are using a 16:9 or 4:3 resolution which means that the PIP will show as a long black rectangle with the image in the middle... I really hope that Lenovo is still working on updating this via firmware. Besides these gripes, I love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Will be buying again, when I get a bigger desk! Great monitor arrived undamaged as it is packaged very well. The menu is a bit quirky but manageable as I'm only using this as a desktop monitor so set it up once an forget it. I have not experienced any not coming back from sleep mode as I generally turn it off because the speaker lights stay on during sleep mode, even though it's not very bright. I love the auxillary I/o on the front panel that retracts very clean look also nice for wireless headphones. I will most likely be buying another as I trade stocks ( my reason for buying ) allows me to watch upto 16 stocks or indices on TOS or 8 comfortably on webull. Or use one for YouTube or news/ finviz and have one for my trading platform where it's about like looking at a 18" monitor for each window. Crystal clear picture very impressed!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressive Gaming Centerpiece Coming on a year of use with this monitor, and I am so glad that I went for it. Luckily got it on a huge sale which helped push me over the edge to just buy this and upgrade my existing setup. I used 3x 27” 1080p monitors primarily for flight sims, and occasional FPS games, but they were showing their age when it came to color, brightness, and most of all, refresh rate. This monitor was the perfect fit for my set up. Even though I lost a little bit of total screen width (43” vs 3x 27”), the widest portions of my previous 3 monitor set up was so wide in my peripheral vision in flight sims that it didn’t matter much, plus I got rid of ugly bezels at each screen transition. HDR400 is also a very welcomed feature as it brings such great color and contrast. The blacks aren’t as black as they can be compared to other panel types, but this was satisfactory to me. The peak brightness is good enough for me, my eyes almost hurt when I get flashbanged in COD:MW-WZ. For fast paced games, the 144hz is incredible if you are coming from 60hz, especially if your PC can put out over 144fps in game. The resolution is also a good bump up from 1080p, sitting nicely between that and 1440p. The one place I would knock this monitor would be the control interface, I would give this a 4.5 out of 5 stars if I could, but I rounded up. It is a bit tough to navigate with the chin buttons, and I would rather see a mini directional joystick to navigate the menus. Also, if you need color accuracy, or work on HDR content, I probably would find a monitor more suited for that, as you may find the color, brights and darks, and resolution not up to par for that application. If you love to listen to higher fidelity music like me, don’t waste your time with the included speaker, just get yourself some nice bookshelf speakers if you dont already have some (and make sure your desk is wide enough to put them on both sides of this monitor!). Overall, this monitor is best suited for people who want immersion into their games, without getting into VR. Especially for flight sims or slower, story based games like the Assassins Creed series, this is the monitor for you. There are better panels out there for things like fast-paced games and creative content work.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Product, Multi Functional Monitor My use for the monitor is work/gaming. Was shooting for higher refresh, more screen estate and looks. Let’s be honest if your going to keep a monitor for 1-2 years , it’s got to fit the looks and specs. Looks wise this thing is beautiful, super sharp looks , the speaker is actually pretty decent and the cable options are perfect for multi device set ups. I can leave my console/gaming pc/ working laptop connected and toggle between or do split screen . This can power my L13 via c type connection. While I work I can have 3 functioning windows open to be more productive. While it fits my use and all those pro’s I’ve listed, the following aren’t necessary yet cons but wish lists . The drop down USB ports are flimsy, this is the only part on the monitor I wasn’t a fan of. The speaker requires two usb connections . And you need a big desk to have this baby sitting properly. I highly recommend if this sounds like a fit @Lenovo hook me up one day lol
