Thunderbolt 4 connectivity and daisy chain

Dual Thunderbolt 4 ports provide up to 40 Gbps data transfer and 100W upstream power delivery alongside 15W downstream charging. The interface enables daisy-chaining two 5K displays from a single source. Additional HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 inputs plus two USB-C ports expand device compatibility. An integrated USB hub simplifies accessory connections and mobile device charging.

Ergonomic stand and frameless design

A fully adjustable stand offers height, tilt and swivel movement for comfortable long sessions. The frameless cabinet reduces visual distraction in multi-monitor layouts. Cabinet colour is grey.

Questions about this item

Will the 5120x2880 IPS panel need recalibration to keep its Pantone Validated accuracy?

The panel is factory calibrated for 100% sRGB and 99% DCI-P3 with Pantone validation; periodic hardware recalibration using a colorimeter is recommended to maintain that accuracy over time.

What limits the 75 Hz refresh rate during a long 5K editing session?

The 75 Hz refresh rate is the panel's maximum at 5120x2880; sustained use does not lower this figure, but the 60 Hz HDMI 2.1 port cannot drive the full resolution at 75 Hz.

How much heat and fan noise should I expect when the Thunderbolt 4 upstream port delivers 100 W to a laptop all day?

The monitor uses a fanless IPS/WLED design with 500 cd/m² brightness; typical surface warmth is low and there is no audible fan noise during continuous 100 W charging operation.
