  1. Q2 202680/1004.2★5 reviews

    Buyers praised the monitor's color accuracy, build quality, and USB-C connectivity, with one reporting dead pixels within a month and inconvenient warranty service.

    • Excellent color accuracy and factory calibration for the price, ideal for photo editing and graphic design.
    • Sturdy, adjustable stand with small footprint; good build quality and unboxing experience.
    • USB-C single-cable connection for video, charging, and peripherals is a major plus for laptop users.
    • One unit developed dead pixel ribboning within a month; warranty repair requires shipping the monitor across the country.
  2. Q4 202272/1003 reviews

    Buyers praised the monitor's color accuracy, sharpness, and value for photography, but noted issues with button placement, OSD settings, and lack of software support for older macOS.

    • Excellent color rendering and calibration for photography, with good value compared to Apple's monitor.
    • Control buttons on the back are difficult to use; OSD timeout needs adjustment for easier access.
    • No software support for older macOS (e.g., Mojave), limiting calibration and management options.
    • Sharp 4K display with useful 32-inch size and multiple input ports, enhancing workflow.
