I got this monitor to act as a second monitor for my desktop computer. It was one of very few monitors that can be rotated into portrait mode, a feature I very much wanted for my workstation. It functions extremely well in that position, and I have it in that orientation permanently. I use it for editing code, and for monitor windows. It is in fact the second such monitor that I have purchased. The screen is perfect for my purposes.

I have been looking for a flash drive of this capacity for some time, and seeing this was made by WD, and on a Black Friday sale, snatched it up. I have been using WD drives (internal and external) for 40 years, and have always found them to be 100% reliable.

I have used WD drives for over 40 years, both internal and external, and they have never failed me. I got this drive as a second disk for my new computer. I plan to install Linux on it, and configure the machine to dual boot. I chose this particular drive for its speed - 7200rpm. I know it will work in the configuration I plan, as I have done it before. I got it at a very good price during the Black Friday sale.

I have wanted this unit for some time, and was finally able to get it at an excellent price during the Black Friday sale. It provides excellent backup for my new PC and new monitor, and their external drives. My equipment has relatively low power draw, and I get almost an hour of run time when losing power, which is more than sufficient to backup crucial files, and power everything down safely.

This monitor is my first 4K monitor, and it gives me absolutely stunning images. I am using it with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop elements., and it is well paired with them. I thought I might be overwhelmed by the size of the screen, coming from a 15" screen on a laptop - but I very quickly got accustomed to it, and find myself doing all my editing using my new monitor.
