- IPS Black panel, 2,000:1 contrast, 120 Hz
- Auto KVM and Network KVM for a work plus personal machine

Cons
- Expensive against 34-inch USB-C ultrawides at half the price

- Built-in 5 W speakers are weak
Why it is the pick
The ultrawide that is also the dock: one Thunderbolt cable in, everything else hangs off it. The question it answers for a buyer: Monitor-as-dock or monitor plus dock?
Specs that matter
- 34.1-inch curved IPS Black, 3440x1440, 120 Hz, 1900R
- Thunderbolt 4 upstream 90 W; TB4 downstream; HDMI 2.1; DP 1.4
- 2.5GbE, USB-A and USB-C 10 Gbps hub
- 98% DCI-P3, 2,000:1, 300 nits
Check before ordering
The laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt and accepts 90 W; some 16-inch laptops charge slowly from it
