Good screen with an attractive price/performance ratio.
Unfortunately, 2 of the 3 USB cables were missing. Setting up the KVM switch and the corresponding cabling was not easy, or I could not do it with the enclosed quick start guide. Only after studying the downloaded operating instructions did I succeed in cabling it correctly.
When clicking through the monitor menu, one notices that the suspension of the monitor is not very stable and the monitor begins to wobble.

Works amazingly well on the Mac, 5120x1440 is supposed to cause problems otherwise, here it works perfectly (probably thanks to HBR3?). The workmanship is as good as usual, especially the full-metal stand makes an impression.
What bothers me personally: there is no cable guide. The power cable comes out vertically at the bottom and is badly bendable, there is no way to run the cable behind the screen. So it just hangs straight out at the bottom, on the other side the same with the USB-C cable.
The webcam works in principle on the Mac, but it seems to pick up very little light. A Logi Stream with a lower resolution produces a much brighter and better image.
And last but not least: the headset hanger is nice, but a pair of Airpods Max, for example, pulls so hard on the screen that it then stands at an angle.
Overall, however, the ideal screen for me, not as gigantic as a 49", but still with the full resolution.

Despite the obvious width of the monitor, it’s not high tall enough meaning you find yourself having to scroll a lot which might (did for me) feel irritated because the reason for buying a big screen is partly to eliminate scrolling.

I can recommend the monitor for all those who only want to have one monitor on the table instead of two. Splitting the windows is very easy with Windows 11 as well as with MacOS 15.

Delighted with this screen.
The kvm between the laptop and the tower works perfectly.
The PBP system on the same PC is excellent.
