Yep! Just about any driver board that can convert between different input formats will also have an OSD.

I’m kinda surprised people have so many questions about this. I dug up the emails. I paid $176 incl shipping/tax to zjtechhk for a B156ZAN03.4 panel, eDP cable, and a MST9U11Q1 driver board (which has DP, HDMI, and USBC inputs, eDP output, and a ribbon cable to a PCB with 4 buttons to control the OSD)

It was an awesome deal at the time, but I’m pretty sure all these components are obsolete by now.

But does it have a terrible menu system, that takes 1 button press to change the color of gaming LEDs but 10 button presses to change the input? If not, it will never compete with commercial monitors.
Lol. The default keymap is indeed fairly intuitive since it hasn’t been customized by the marketing dept yet. Power, menu, up, down, input.
