Excellent choice for a graphic design monitor
This is 4 times the size of the Asus ProArt 24 monitor I've been using for years. I had been using any old monitor as a second screen (which was ridiculous, but just lazy). I realized that instead of a second ProArt, I should just get a huge monitor that's basically give me 4 times the screen real estate. I was worried that it wouldn't be sharp enough, but it's perfect. Been working with it for a couple weeks and I haven't even adjusted the color settings yet. Real simple, plug and play so far. No issues or problems so far.

First 3840 x 2160 pixel display I can run @ 100% scaling!
I am really impressed by this monitor after using it for a week. The 103.6 pixel per inch and 0.2451 pixel pitch means I can set the Windows 10 scaling to 100% (not 150% like my old 137 pixel per inch monitor) and text looks super crisp and sharp. Some programs I use do not do scaling very well so I love how my text looks with this monitor. Just buy it if you have enough room on your desk.

It's huge, high quality: no dead pixels: no light bleed.
Supports full 4k at 60hz but only using hdmi connections #3 an #4. Plug in all your cables while the monitor is face down while your connecting the stand, otherwise you'll be doing it by feel. It's heavy 44lbs and doesn't have a sturdy handle on top of the box to help. I'm just using it for multimedia not gaming so can't speak to how it performs as a gaming monitor. Watching video and movies just fine.

Best Monitor for Editing Video
We LOVE this monitor for editing video! Editing in Premier Pro has never been easier. We see a full sized version of the film itself in the upper right hand corner, we have greater control over the timeline and effects because of the larger screen, and the color is unbelievable. It doesn't FEEL like a big monitor and actually has a smaller footprint and takes up less room on our desk than we expected. Built in speakers are a dream too. Best decision we've ever made! Kicking ourselves we didn't do it sooner.

Wow!
When you do the math, this 43 has more square inches of screen area than two 27-inchers combined -- and it was less expensive! Great picture and sound (no external speakers needed), only one cable and takes less space than double monitors, so less clutter on the table. Definitely recommend. Games look awesome too!

Big, bright, awesome! A little tricky with the settings
I spent 20 minutes fiddling around with the settings and configuration of the video card. What I wanted was to simply duplicate my 17 inch laptop's screen on this one. On my previous 23 inch screen, it was simply plug and play, by default duplication is what you got. That is what I was expecting here too. No, it's not, but when I found the right menu, one click and it became paradise!

Using It For Cubase
One of my hobbies is creating/producing music using Cubase. It is so refreshing to have so many things on one surface. All tracks, all effects processors, VSTs, mixer, etc. It's all there. I'm a little less than 3' from it and it looks great. Sharp. The viewing angle is fantastic. I went from a 24 monitor to this. I included a few pictures of my set up. Yes, I know my monitors are too close to the wall : ).

Huge!!
Love this monitor. It dwarfs my old 27 inch. It is very sharp and colors are very good. I do quite a bit with Photoshop and the colors perfect. Make sure you have room to use this and be able to back off a bit. Very happy.

Fantastic
I use this with my MacBook Pro. It was seamless hooking it up. The salesperson at B&H was amazing too. I highly recommend this monitor (which is huge) and B&H.

Beautiful Picture, Awesome Monitor
I had considered replacing my 32 monitor with a larger monitor for a while. I knew I wanted to go larger. I work from home via the internet, and also use the internet to research all types of techniques and procedures for my hobby (scale modeling). I spend a lot of time at my computer. After reading the reviews of several monitors on Amazon, B&H and other sites, I decided to take the plunge and order this monitor. It arrived on time, was simple t... Show More

Great monitor and Great VALUE!!!!
I purchased this monitor to be able to use both my 2016 MacBook Pro and my Lenovo Yoga at the same time. The reviews were a bit mixed saying some features did not work or having to get the right cable to connect it with. All I can say is that I love this monitor. I did buy a USB-C cable to connect my MacBook Pro and used the supplied HDMI cable to connect my Lenovo. After playing with the menus, I figured it out and adjusted my settings to my pre... Show More

Great quality, USB-C port is flaky
This is a great monitor. The few things I have that are cause for concern are: - USB-C charging is very low power (wont charge a Macbook Pro) - USB-C video is flaky. Works sometimes, others not. I tried various expensive cables, all with the same results. In the end I used USB-C - Displayport which works perfectly well.

Im getting old and dont want to read from small screens anymore. Im glad I picked this over 34 inches 21:9. This is just perfect.

Good but Insanely Big
Got this as a primary work monitor, love it, I sit 3 feet from it. Much easier on the eyestrain than my older, smaller ones. Very hard to screen share this monitor as other parties see things as too tiny to read. Miss it a LOT when I travel and I switch back to 17 laptop display. No HDMI output on my laptop meant I had to use DP Alternate Mode (DP over USB-C) but thats actually ideal because the cable is very small running between the laptop and monitor. I dont use many of the other features of this monitor as it is tucked away in my office and way to big to move regularly.

We Bought 2 for Our Home Office
My wife and I have a spacious home office. We had two 32 HP Omen monitors but decided to go larger and give the two HPs to our two kids for gaming. We have had the 43 for a couple of weeks and it takes getting used to the size but we have adapted and are still tweaking the settings. So far nothing but impressive!

Perfect monitor. My receipt was delayed (I bought it before Thanksgiving and then it went in backorder and I had my doubts it would ever arrive, but, B&G came through so all is well that ends well!!!)

awesome large monitor
purchased in April 2018 when it was on sale. And I have been using this monitor quite a a lot. This was an upgrade from LG 34 inch 3440x1440 (LG34UM88-P 34) to give me more real estate, and bigger fonts. LG34 was good and image was crisper, but my eyes had to work hard with the smaller fonts on Windows 7. The 43 inch size and resolution makes it easier on my eyes. I used this mainly for working remotely from home. As a software engineer, it give... Show More

decent monitor, works as advertised
Mostly writing this review because I couldnt update my previous one. Gave it 3 stars because it lacked a USB c cable even thought B&H listed it as included in the box. They sent me a new one which makes up for it.

updated from 3 to 5 stars
works as described. Listing stated it contains a usb c cable, gave it 3 stars because there was none in the box. B&H sent me a cable for it when I talked to customer support and they sent me a new one.
