Screen settings challenging, kit has wrong screws for moun

By Cordell
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2025-06-09

I like the size and curvature and the screen is plenty bright. The mount is sturdy, hold the screen securely, and moves easily... BECAUSE I purchased additional screws to attach the screen to the mount. Even though it's sold as a kit, it does NOT arrive with the correct screws to connect the VESA mounting plate with the monitor. The supplied 10mm M4 screws are too short. You'll need two 20mm and two 30 mm M4 screws. The back of the monitor is sloped and needs two different sized screw pairs to attach. There's no good documentation for the monitor's settings. Only by multiple sessions of trial and error have gotten them acceptable, and the quality is far from the Mac screen that drives it.

Big bright and beautiful
