Have a Mac Book Pro and have had no problems. Everything works perfectly with the display...

I sit 50-60cm from the monitor and need it mainly for programming.
Text display is great.
If you doubt or miss something in the description/specification of a product at Digitec, you should take the trouble to read up on it with the manufacturer.

Yes, you can connect two laptops, which then share one half each. It has the connections USB UP1 and USB UP2 as well as 4 USB 3 connections. According to the instructions, this is possible with the integrated KVM switch, so you only need one keyboard and one mouse for two laptops.

Unfortunately, the PS4 does not support such a wide aspect ratio, it is best to set the resolution to 1080p and deal with the bars. If you stretch the image output the result will look very bad.
Bildschirmdiagonale ist 124cm.

It works via Displayport 1.4. HDMI 2.0b can do max 4K, if I remember correctly. For more HDMI data transfer, you would need HDMI 2.1. The DP 1.4 supports 8K at 60 Hz!
Do you mean the bars on the left and right? 😅
Most videos are not 32:9 by themselves, so you have to look for them specifically.
The manual describes the remote control, which corresponds to the buttons on the monitor. Therefore, the remote control does not allow faster switching than the monitor buttons.

No USB-C, so no charging function for notebooks. All in all, much more cable clutter.
Hello!
I'm going to go out on a limb and say it doesn't matter if it's xbox/Ps4/Ps5/whatever these devices don't output 32:9, so only 16:9, meaning half the screen, you can probably/maybe stretch/warp the image, but that will diminish your gaming experience enormously as you will only see flat but wide objects/characters.
Yes, it works. This is called "PBP" (Picture-by-Picture) mode and is not too difficult to set. Defining which input is the left and which is the right picture is tedious, but this can be easily arranged by the operating system.
No, indeed wrong: the monitor has R1800.
R1000 would probably be very immersive 😗

This monitor supports full resolution only through display port. To use hdmi you have to use 2 cables and connect it as 2 monitors.

Unfortunately, we cannot be 100% sure so far, but it will be China or Taiwan.

I just figured it out myself - maybe it will help someone else. I used a USB C -> DP cable and now everything is fine. cheers
Splitting different windows with tools from the monitor manufacturers can be relatively cumbersome. There is a very nice function in Windows 11 that allows you to set up the individual programmes very elegantly on the monitor. Under Windows 10, you can also use the Microsoft PowerToys, which can also do this. In any case, you can drag a window to the left edge and release it, and then drag a second window to the other edge and release it. Then you have two windows, each taking up half the screen. With Windows 11 you can also do this with 3 windows, Microsoft PowerToys can do this too.
Have you already updated your OS?
Set your Macbook to YCC colour format instead of RGB (try all the possibilities it has there) ?
Performed a reset on the monitor ?
Have you tried a different, higher quality cable (USB-C to DisplayPort)?
A docking station with DP connection would probably be the best solution.

I operated the monitor with a NUC (BLKNUC7i3DNKTC2; year 2019). Worked flawlessly; with the new PC, make sure that at least HDMI2.0b or DP1.4 with 5120x1440 @60Hz is supported.

Hello
I have exactly this config here. It runs perfectly. I have also tried a Surface Laptop Go and a Surface Pro 6 on this Surface Docking. All run flawlessly.

The visible display height is: 33.8cm
The graphics card must support at least DP 1.4 or Hdmi 2.0. The performance must then be determined based on the total resolution: Philips and second screen. If the latter is Full HD or 4K, it needs different minimum performance.
