I agree with you that out of the box the monitor does have a yellow tint. But then I found these settings on reddit. After changing my settings to those, I don't see the yellow tint anymore. Make sure to turn off the Vision Engine. Now I like it so much that I'm considering to buy another one for my second monitor. https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors...are_button
"Starter" monitor? I'd call it a "budget" monitor, but starter monitor feels like a really weird phrase. It's not like a starter snowboard that one would upgrade when one gains more skills. This is a very good monitor for perhaps 95% of people.

95% of people who are sweaty competitive gamers? It is a decent overall use monitor but I wouldn't use it on a small budget build.
Waste of money IMO if you can't do 2K, or get frame rates sub 100 you can't even use the refresh rate.
If 95% of people can use this monitor to its potential they are a LOT more competitive game players/ PC enthusiasts that play games at a high refresh rate than what the raw numbers show/ they want to run witcher 3 at 2k 165hz frames AAA titles etc/ their priorities in life are wild similar to strictly gamers. You need better color accuracy for a work monitor that has to do with media although 400 nits for this is a steal.
So technically it's a 1060 GTX 6gb in laptop form with some i5...
I guess I don't need it to run 144hz.
But native 2k, 120hz would be nice for kids Roblox and or Minecraft.
I could do 1080p/ 144hz alot easier I assume?
yes
running lower res is easier.
you can use 1440p for general task.. and go to lower setting when you are in game mode.
I would try the Samsung, honestly. I made what feels like a huge mistake and bought 3 of these things for $480 using a home office allowance from work and a "spend $599 get $120 statement credit" from Amex.
Every single one has poor color balance that I can't seem to tweak away from bluish green whites even with Rtings color profile and Rtngs/Reddit fine tuning recommendations, I have never had a monitor look so bad straight out of the box. There is also an annoying lack of brightness uniformity around the edges.
Very dissatisfied compared to the two $99 pandemic 24" UltraSharp U2412M 60 Hz IPS they were supposed to replace. I tried to dump one on my son who put it next to his 3 year old Acer Nitro XV272U 144Hz IPS (which only cost me $291) and it paled.
I don't know if I should invest in a calibration puck or just beg Dell to take them back with no restock fee.
