My first deal post! I just ordered one for store pickup, will update this post with a review after I setup at the office tomorrow morning.

Update: Picked up the monitor this morning, great looking monitor with minimal bezels and a fast easy setup. Straight out of the box its calibrated nicely though I will need to adjust to my preferences. I am mostly using my system for tech and basic graphic design work along with some light audio and video editing. At the moment my laptop is being stubborn and defaulting to the Intel GPU, updating drivers so I can take full advantage of 1050Ti. Very good buy at $260
No way, this guy codes too fast for 30Hz...
Great monitors paid $359 earlier this year. Make sure your system can run them at 60hz. At 30hz they flicker. Currently using a new MacBook Pro to drive these at native resolution USB-C to DisplayPort.

If you are going to use it for office work, I would go with IPS panel (28). That 32" has VA panel

For my use, 1 HDMI is a deal breaker for a monitor.

Does the Lenovo do HDR? Not sure if it matters that much since they don't get that bright anyways.

Picked this up yesterday for PS5 use primarily. Working great with a few tweaks to levels/colors. Tested on PC with GSync and it works great there too. HDR picks up fine on PS5 and windows. Not the brightest but acceptable once turned up, with obvious IPS advantages. I would say only unacceptable in a room with tons of natural light. Thanks OP!

Anyone can help choosing between this and https://slickdeals.net/f/14537951-279-99-lg-27ul600-w-27-quot-ips-led-4k-uhd-freesync-monitor-with-hdr-silver-white-27ul600-w-aus-best-buy-starts-11-28?page=3#commentsBox
kind of new to monitors and would be grateful if anyone can help.

For blind pick I go with this one, because unlike LG it rarely go on sale but real specs comparison might be available at Rating com where I mostly compare TV & Monitor.

It just seems like an average monitor. 60HZ. Not a high-gamut monitor. Only 300 nits. HDR10 just means it does *something* with 10-bit color (it might be an 8-bit panel with cycling to get 1024 colors). 28". FreeSync so you can play games at 40Hz. Well whoop-de-freaking-dup! What's the big deal about this item?

Also, samsung monitors have stands that SUCK, they are way too deep to shove the monitor flat against a wall!

People have this rabid fascination with Samsung which is misplaced. I can only imagine that this rabid fascination is driving this deal.

At our house we use a TCL 43S405 TV ($229) and Sony 43x800h ($440) for 4K monitors, they are both superior to this offering in different ways.

What display adjustments did you make for the ps5?
