Notes

Sharp 4K IPS Black at 163 PPI with a 140 W Thunderbolt 4 hub, KVM and 2.5GbE, so one cable runs a laptop; a safe pick for coding and general creative work. Backlight uniformity is uneven (up to 15% variation), response is slow, HDR is weak (8 zones), and speakers and webcam were not listed.

USB-C PD: Expert Reviews table says 144 W (spec sheet) while its text says 140 W; Monitornerds says 90 W Thunderbolt 4; 140 W used (matches the PCWorld figure for the sibling U3225QE). DCI-P3 spec: Expert Reviews 99%, Monitornerds 98%. Contrast spec: Expert Reviews 3000:1, Monitornerds 2000:1 in one place and 3000:1 in another. The Expert Reviews page shows an 'Our rating' heading but the number was not in the fetched text; its 4/5 is read via testberichte.de. The RTINGS Office score is not counted: the page fetch returned navigation only and the 8.5 comes from a search excerpt (another excerpt of the same page gave a jumbled score layout), so it is unconfirmed on the review page. Read via testberichte.de: Expert Reviews, IT PRO. These tests are inside the testberichte.de grade, so they are shown, not counted. Buyer ratings read via testberichte.de: Amazon.de. (Read from a search excerpt, page not opened: x-kom.pl).
