For around 40 quid more that's a much better buy than this. You lose two USB ports and the 3.5" jack (which actually nobody cares about anyway) but gain 4K and HDMI 2.0.
Its not bad, considering single juice cable for most of your desktop. Still I wish that was a bit more than 65W. I currently run this combo, which causes cable swarm..... https://www.dellstore.cz/upload/prod/89000/575-bbi...
I know on paper that number is rather unimpressive looking, but not everyone wants or needs more brightness. A lot of my time is spent behind a display panel of some sort and I typically find myself reducing screen brightness to 50% or less of the total output just to keep them from feeling really harsh. In my usage, going much higher than 250 is pretty pointless because I will never push it that high unless it's a phone and I'm in direct sunlight which doesnt really apply to this situation.
I have the 34" ultra wide version of this that came out last year, my wife uses with it her MacBook. It's pretty awesome with the single cable plugging in to get everything including power hooked up to the laptop. Her old USB C dock frequently had to be unplugged/reset but the monitor never has that issue.

Still pretty expensive, considering you can get a 4K IPS monitor AND usb-c dock for that price.lmcd - Thursday, February 20, 2020 - link

It's not much cheaper than the 1.5 year old HP E243d, which also has a built-in popup webcam, and DP output for daisy chaining.The_Assimilator - Friday, February 21, 2020 - link
DP and HDMI are now legacy? Best tell the graphics card manufacturers who only have those "legacy" connectors.cygnus1 - Friday, February 21, 2020 - link
They're not quite as legacy as a DB15 VGA port, but they're definitely a lot farther from new than USB-C. By like nearly a couple decades for HDMI.cygnus1 - Friday, February 21, 2020 - link

Here is the source. https://www.philips.hr/c-p/243B1_01/lcd-monitor-s-...You forgot to mention that it has a BUILT IN ETHERNET JACK. This will be awesome for office applications.

Right, this is a good price if you can replace a dock, too.
