Curious about the USB version: How long does it take to initialize the USB hub and everything? In the past, I found it super annoying that each time I connected my notebook via USB-C, the whole enchilada of newly connected USB devices would start up.

From a usgae point, these monitors power on instantly as soon as I connect my MacBook Pro (M4 Pro), and apart from a minor glare issue (my desk faces a window) they perform very well. The 120 Hz refresh rate makes scrolling and graphics smooth and viewing text for long hours pleasant. I haven't tested them for movies yet, but they handled educational and work-related tutorial videos without any issues (not sure if this is a metric to count on).
For audio, even though they come with built in speakers that are nice, clear and loud, I couldn't control the volume, and so I am still using my old JBL Creature II speakers from 2005. For the price I paid, I think they served me well for 20 yrs, though the rubber holding the tweeters is finally wearing out. I paid around €100 back in my student days, wish I could find a modern replacement that sounds just as warm!
