I purchased this monitor specifically to use for music production in a Windows environment - DAW, mixing, mastering, songwriting, etc. The resolution, quality and especially price is just right. I use with my laptop via HDMI and set display to 125% magnification (3480 x 2160 @60hz). If I set display magnification to 100%, everything is a bit too small for my eyes which may be perfect for other users. Monitor resolution supports 4K and HDR if your device/video can. Picture quality is awesome for my use which includes office apps and streaming aside from the music production stuff. I get a lot more desktop real estate to see more of the wave forms and menus without having to keep scrolling like my previous monitor.
It's also perfect for my small home setup where space is a premium. I'm not a gamer or visual content artist so I haven't tried any of those type of apps.
It was very easy to set up and comes with an HDMI cable. However, I chose to purchase a separate 4K HDMI cable and haven't used the one in the box. I started with the monitor powered off but connected, turned on the laptop, logged in and turned on the monitor. My WIN10 laptop did the rest automatically. I adjusted some of the display settings but very little changes from one of the default options. It does have an audio out (3.5mm phone) which can be used to connect to an external speaker set up if you need. I have an audio interface so I use that instead.
I have been using it for more than a month without any issues. Color and picture is awesome (for my needs) and I especially love the extra desktop space. Also enjoying the 4K streaming!
