I love this monitor. The display is so vibrant and bright. The ultra wide screen size is amazing with lots of real estate. I only have ONE small issue... The under the bottom bezel control buttons. They are a bit finicky to select the correct button you need as you literally cannot see them, it's all by finger tip feel. Also, what is the point of putting the Power on LED under there as well, because it CANNOT be seen sitting in front of the monitor, you literally need to get your head down and look underneath the bottom bezel in order to see it, AND it's very tiny.

I initially that that the under bezel OSD control button pad might drop down, but no, it doesn't.

BAD DESIGN, but apart from that everything else about this monitor is excellent.

I actually don't have a problem with the control buttons. My gripes are:

1. Turns itself off after just a couple seconds of NO INPUT SIGNAL; this can't be changed.

2. Once off, it doesn't awaken on its own (like the Dell monitor it replaced)!? Have to push the Power button.

3. The Power LED is too dim to see that you've powered ON.

3. The Eco settings are also useless and I had to turn them OFF

The extra real estate is welcome and I do otherwise like the monitor.

According to your User Manual,  under System settings you can set the OffTimer to never turn off.

Yep, as it happens I had Menu > System > Off Timer Plus > Eco Timer set to 10mins not realizing this (deeply buried!) setting meant it would hard-Off the monitor. Settng that to Off now means the monitor does awaken when I fire-up on any input. 👍
