They were bought by a Chinese company a while back and apparently customer service has taken a hit. Gamers Nexus has an interesting YouTube video about Newegg scamming them.

The 42 inch C2 is already 999.99 as of now.
I alrady have an OLED TV. 42" is too big as PC monitor. If they make a 32" to 38" flat oled for under $1300, I buy in a heart beat.

I would suggest buying from Newegg (same price) but you get a Black Friday deal matching offer - so if Newegg discounts the monitor anytime in November, you automatically get credited the savings

Great deal. 28" version also available for $499.99:

Nice! I think the lowest for the M28U in recent history was 479.99 in September

This price at 550 for the M32U seems to be the lowest. Last price I see was 599.99 back in April. (per camelcamelcamel dot com)

Does anyone else have better price history checking sources?

I've always felt that even 27" for a 4K monitor seemed a bit big for displaying macOS elements at native retina resolution (basically 1080p). Would you guys say that 32" is a good size for your uses? Because I'm afraid it's simply too large for me and so I'm waiting for the m28u to go down to $479 or so during Black Friday.
32" is pretty much ideal (for me) for content creation purposes. I had a 27" and added a 32" 4k... the size difference bothered me so much I sold the 27 and got a 2nd 32". Like someone else mentioned, I initially tried a single 43" 4k screen... was definitely not ideal, though many people go that route. Viewing angles were awkward due to the vertical size.

To buy or not to buy, that is the real question.

9827, yes it is.

I've been tracking the original M32U and believe $600 was the lowest price I've seen. This price beats that and includes what looks like a better arm. Seems like a good deal.

I've used both a 28" and 32" 4K with macOS, and it was totally fine while using scaling. I never used 1080p equivalent, always higher than that because I want more to fit on screen. It doesn't need to scale 2:1 for it look good in macOS.

I'm currently using a 27" 1440p monitor for macOS and its not great for macOS (but great for gaming), and I want to get back to 4K or higher at some point. I also have a 5K iMac, but that is my personal machine and I don't use it for my job.

32" was a good size for me for work. I kept it at the same distance as a 27'/28" monitor (about arms length) and it gives me more area, almost like dual monitors with the amount of space. Great for coding which is what I do most of the time. However, at that distance its too large for gaming as I'd have to move my head around to see parts of the screen, and I could move it back with my mounting arm but its a pain to do that all the time. 27" is perfect size for gaming.

Kinda depends on what you're doing with the monitor and how you would position it. I imagine you're going to do some gaming if you're looking at a high refresh rate monitor. If you're not going to use it for gaming, I would just get a 4K@60Hz monitor. I don't notice the difference with higher refresh rates in non-gaming tasks. My current monitor can do 165Hz, and I still just use 60Hz on my MacBook Pro I use for work. I only use the higher refresh rate when I switch over to my PC for gaming.

For me, M28U would be my pick between the two, mainly because it has a lower minimum brightness. I've used monitors that don't go low enough, and it can be a problem. Size considerations I discussed above also factor in, though that is a tough call for me still.

Personally I am waiting to see what happens with Mini LED monitors. If M28U goes below $400 it'll be very tempting, but that probably won't happen this year.

Yeah out of stock. This is a great deal. You'll have a really clean high end looking setup and the monitor itself is already a great deal at 550. I think OLED is still an iffy purchase as a monitor. This or a 49 ultrawide is probably the best gaming and general use monitor experience if you exclude OLED.
