How thick is the bezel? Would it be too thick to have them side-by-side?
Will
on Jan 26, 2022
BEST ANSWER: I've got about 1/4" of black space between the edge of the screen and the plastic bezel. If you want your multiple displays to seem like one, I think the bezel would be distracting. If you're running multiple windows like I am, though, I wouldn't think it's a problem.
I like mine enough that I would consider adding a second for additional productivity and screen real estate.

If you mean the distance from the end of the usable display to the edge of the physical frame, it is 1 cm. If you put two of these side by side there would be a 2cm (3/4 inch) area without display in the middle.

The plastic bezel is about 1/4" thick. There's also a 1/4" border on the screen. that might be a setting issue.

How is this supposed to be mounted to arm or wall?
A shopper
on Aug 21, 2021
BEST ANSWER: On the back of the monitor, in the middle is where the stand gets mounted to the monitor. That access plate gets removed and you will see four phillip head screws you will remove and thats where you mount gets mounted. I just a desk mount as the stand that came with it took up too much space. That access panel does not get put on.

There are studs underneath the mounting plate where 4 riser screws (included) screw into. This is a VESA 75mm mounting standard. It stands off approx 1cm from the back of the monitor housing when fully attached to your wall/arm mount.

I purchased this item and have been rather happy with it for almost a month now. I have noticed every so often the screen will go black like its auto adjusting a setting. Does anyone else have this issue? I may have to return as it's happened a couple of dozen times both on gaming and general internet use.

Might be a cable issue. If HDMI input is in use, make sure the HDMI cable is certified.

what cable will need to purchase to connect this monitor to my MacBook Pro?
New User U
on Jul 21, 2021
BEST ANSWER: It comes with a DP (DisplayPort) cable; newer MacBooks may not have a DP port so you would have to get a dongle to connect the monitor to the MacBook. Alternatively, you can utilize a traditional HDMI cable (you'd have to purchase one separately) to connect to the MacBook, though again, you might need a dongle to fit into an available port on the MacBook.

I tried to attach a monitor arm but the mounting plate wouldn't fit. The holes lined up but the bolts (even the 30mm long ones) weren't long enough to reach the bolt holes because they're sunk into the monitor so far. How do you make it work?
A shopper
on Oct 3, 2021
BEST ANSWER: The bolt size is standard. Go to the hardware store and grab some M4 sized bolts that are long enough, they should work.

looking at the picture, it seems to show a micro USB connection just above the first HDMI port and the display port, why is it there, and not listed?
A shopper
on Apr 18, 2022
BEST ANSWER: Interesting! On my monitors, it just has a two plastic "knock-outs" where the USB port in the picture is. There is no USB port here - it must've been used for firmware upgrades during manufacturing or development, as they clearly didn't ship with these ports.

Good Monitor
The package was received wet (rain downpour on the day of delivery, it was left outside in the rain). I was offered a replacement but I was on a time crunch so went ahead and accepted the shipment. That said, the screen works good so far. I never bought a screen to compare so the four stars may just do it.

good specs for the money
It does what it should do well at a competitive price
Knocked a star because certain USBc to hdmi adapters might not recognize it, the power cable is a little short and also has some weird VESA screws if you don't use the stand.

Excellent Monitor - Should be better documented.
This is a top notch monitor at $200, I'm very pleased with it after a couple days.
However, there is little attention paid (almost none) in the User's Manual to the HDR capability. It should have more prominence, otherwise many user's may never take advantage of it.

Picture quality and resolution are outstanding. The reason I did rate it stars is the slant. I would prefer the screen have at ability to adjust the vertical position.

Video quality blew my expectations out of the water. Quality and build of product also over and above my expectations. The price is amazing for the monitor you get in return.
