Pros & cons
- ✓ Built-in Tizen apps, remote, and streaming features for buyers who want TV-like functionality
- ✗ Smart features are exactly the parts that age worst: abandoned apps, slowing UI, forced account logins
- ✗ Underlying panel is a merely adequate 60Hz VA
- ✗ Costs as much as a Dell UltraSharp U2725QE
- ✗ A monitor should outlive its software; this one's software is the product
