Not sure it is worth the risk.
Just get it. Initially, I saw it on sale, after I did my research, the sale was done and I had to wait for 2 months for the next sale. I got a second one for another computer, a MP monitor via target where they have the same prices as MP, got the redcard 5% and some amount of rebate. Doubt they have open box though.
GLTA!

However, some might just not like the panel tech (VA) while others do.
If its free to return, there's little risk beyond inconvenience.
That said, although I'd like a newer VA to replace my 8 year old one, I think i'll just keep waiting for the sub $1000 42" OLED rumored to be coming around year end.
The only thing I hate is there is this blue LED that blinks when it is asleep. A piece of painter's tape I colored black and stuck over it solved this.
The control panel for the settings is a bit 1990's but it is easy to get once you have done it a few times.
I have two cables coming out of my MacBook pro which is a little annoying but I guess that is the price of admission to get the advertised 144hx refresh rate.

I see better response time 8 to 4ms, worse curve 1800r to 1500r, better frequency 100hz to 144hz.
1500R = 1500 mm radius. 1800R = 1800 mm radius. The smaller the radius, the more curvature the monitor has.
Like I mentioned earlier, I am in the middle of them swapping mine out. However, my issue is at the connection point of the power cord, not the monitor itself. No dead pixels and it has performed well.
I am lucky I have the warranty.
So, perhaps the lesson is no brand monitor is guaranteed to work with these M1 Macs unless someone has actually used that combination successfully.
Using a TB, DP or HDMI converter/dongle seems to work without issues!

With dongles I think most monitors wouldn't have problem.
