Does the touchscreen work over HDMI?

No. HDMI carries only the picture. Touch needs a USB-C connection from a host that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and touch input.

Will it work with my laptop?

Any Windows 10/11, macOS, Linux or Android device with USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode works with one cable. Older laptops can use HDMI for video, but touch will not work that way.

Does it have a battery?

No. It draws power from the connected device over USB-C, so expect shorter laptop battery life when it is in use.

Is 120Hz useful for gaming?

It helps with smooth motion, but the 6.5 ms response time and 60Hz-limited consoles make it a work and casual-gaming screen rather than a competitive one.

Can I mount it on a stand or arm?

Yes. It has VESA mounting points, and the built-in fold-out stand also sets several viewing angles without extra hardware.

What comes in the box?

The monitor, a USB-C cable and documentation. Check that your cable supports video and power, since charge-only cables will not drive the display.
