    Windows CentralHands-on review · 2025

    Windows Central thinks it is a great balanced monitor with a lovely panel and best-in-class speakers, but the very sparse port selection will deter many buyers.

    TechRadar enjoys the strong visuals and built-in sound system but wonders about the limited ports, and notes it is fair priced but not cheap.
