Only lasted 3.5 years


About a half of a year out of warrenty (for the backlight), the backlight would turn off on its own. Turning the monitor on and off would solve the problem.

Shortly after it started exhibited this behavior, I heard a loud pop upon waking the monitor up one day. At that point, it started smoking. This thing cost me almost $800. I would expect it to last longer than it did and not be a fire hazard.

Verdict

The Formac Gallery 1740 almost matches an Apple Studio Display on image quality, but costs less and offers more connectivity. Only its slightly flimsy frame disappointed us.

Typical price

£ 629
