Let me start by saying this KTC monitor is a STEAL at $250. The 4K resolution (3840x2160) is crisp, colors pop after some tweaking, and having Google TV built-in means I can binge Netflix (yes, it's officially licensed!) without extra devices. My late-night movie sessions have never looked better.

The good stuff first: This thing is a multitasking beast. I use it as both a monitor for my work laptop (hello, Type-C 65W charging!) and as a TV for streaming. The wireless display feature saved me from cable chaos when presenting to clients. And that "Hey Google" voice control? Surprisingly responsive when I'm too lazy to grab the remote.

Now the reality check: Out of the box, colors looked like they'd had too much coffee - way too vibrant. After 15 minutes in settings (which are annoyingly buried), I got it looking decent, though not Sony-level perfect. Sound quality is... well, let's just say I immediately paired it with my old soundbar. Those built-in speakers are fine for Zoom calls but won't impress audiophiles.

Pro tip: The VESA mount screws listed in the manual are wrong (trust me, I made that Home Depot trip too). And yes, customer support seems nonexistent - you're basically on your own with setup issues.

Despite these quirks, would I buy it again? Absolutely. Where else can you get a 32-inch 4K smart display with this many ports (HDMI 2.1! DisplayPort! Multiple USBs!) at this price? Just go in knowing you'll need to tweak settings and maybe add external speakers for serious entertainment use.
