![]() ![]() Since I ended up putting it on an Ergotron MX mount, it wasn't a problem. You get a 5 percent forward or 23 percent back tilt. The stand for this display does not allow for much movement. I thought it was strange, so be careful if you are using an HDMI switch box. However, I was worried about the speakers being blown out, so I tested them afterwords and luckily they were fine. I turned the monitor off and back on and it fixed the issue. The speakers put out static and turned themselves up automatically. There was some weird issues communicating with my HDMI switch when I first selected the Mac Mini input. It comes in handy for YouTube and where I don't usually need optimal sound quality. That being said, I decided to mount the display on an Ergotron MX arm, so the speakers provide the ability to put the sound in the same direction of the display no matter where I have it placed. I have much better speakers in my setup and these speakers make the unit wider than it needs to be for those that would rather just use the monitor. They don't sound awful, but I would have preferred an option to remove them. The "DTS Audio" speakers are 6 watt per channel. This might come in handy during football season. You can also flip which source is in the PIP box and which gets the remains screen space. I tested both of the HDMI ports and they worked with my older (2010 & 2011) Macs and the PIP worked perfectly while I streamed video to one box while surfing the web. The display has several port options including MHL, HDMI 2.0, HDMI 1.4 and Display Port. Additionally, it has an option to split the screen, but it will shrink each box to keep the initial resolution and that makes it fill less of the top and bottom of the screen. You can also select the corner where the box is placed. If you want something in between, it allows you to step up or down the size of the PIP box in small increments. I like the fact that you can go right to max size or small size with one setting in the menu. I also tried out the Picture in Picture settings. The screen does a great job of upscaling the signal, so I was happy with the way it looks as a second monitor. I am not sure why the iMac would allow it to select a resolution the OS can’t support, but I went into the display module and set it to match the iMac’s display resolution (2560x1440) and I was up and running. My 2011 iMac did recognize the HP and automatically set the resolution to match the 4k resolution of the monitor which caused a black screen to show up. I don’t currently own a computer that can put out a 4k signal, but the display will upscale the picture from several different resolutions. Once I got the chat out of the way, I decided to try out the monitor. ![]()
