I bought this to connect to my new 2018 Mac Mini as my old screens (Dell's older 2209WAs) weren't holding up well. What's not to like? This is a 25" 1440p IPS screen. Not the biggest or highest resolution, but exactly what I wanted and at a reasonable price point - it's noticeably better than the smaller screens but not as high resolution as the bigger ones which cost twice as much.
Very light compared to the older models I have and the stand is much more adjustable, allowing for a higher position. The bezel is tiny and the buttons are all responsive. Having them below the screen is a much better design than the front-facing buttons on the old monitors which could easily be knocked. I have it connected by Thunderbolt/USB Type-C directly to the Mac.
I wish the USB ports which came out of the side came out of the bottom instead, because I can't actually use them in a multi-monitor setup; there isn't enough space without leaving an unsightly gap between the screens! I don't think there would even be enough space for a thin right angled connector. But there are a couple of additional USB ports on the back so it's still a benefit overall. The monitor is gloss rather than matte but the anti-glare coating does a good job and I can use it next to my office window just fine. Now I just need to resist buying a second...
