So my monitor arrived, and everything has gone well thus far. Everything was packed up as if it was new, but it did have 37 hours of on time.

Quick notes:

- No noticeable cosmetic damage

- Shipping was fast, as I received it in 2 days. Also the monitor (without the stand) was a bit heavier than my 32" HP Gaming monitor so that was a bit of a surprise

- The display looks great when HDR was not enabled on my computer, but turned on in the monitor settings as "HDR Effect"

- If you notice a beeping sound as you toggle the menus then that means the accessibility option is on and can be disabled to get rid of it

- I played Resident Evil 2 and Forza Horizon 5 on my 4080 to get an idea of how the display would handle dark and vibrant games, and I'm satisfied thus far.

- I'm planning to play around with different calibration settings, and see how it does with my XSX and PS5.

- I'll be following this thread, so tag or reply to my comment if you have any questions or tips.
Highly misrepresented - I made mistake of buying two of these and I had them for a week then decided to send them back. The colors were washed out. The monitor picture is deceiving because the colors look rich and vivid which this monitor is NOT. Ended up getting the LG 32" UltraFine Display Ergo 4K Monitor 60hz 5ms HDR10 w/ Freesync 32UN880-B for $279 / Refurb. Much better deal and much better monitor.
Did you actually CALIBRATE the monitors before claiming the colors were bad?

How were the conditions of yr 3 Refurb monitors? I am always skeptical about open box monitors, thinking dead pixels returned products.

The LG Ultrafine? They were perfect! Kept both. No dead pixels or issues and picture quality was much better.

I've had this morning for over 3 years. Use it for productivity, no gaming, and it's awesome. It's travelled with me to 2 disaster relief projects and more and is still top-notch quality. I just don't game so I can't speak on that. Otherwise, it's definitely great for productivity and coding. I'm actually considering getting a 2nd one.

Also, I use this is with a MacBook Pro USB-C to Display Port. 4K is👌🏼

Too bad its VA

You knew that before entering this thread. It's in the title.

There's nothing wrong with VA for a vast number of tasks, which is why it hasn't been phased out and likely won't be for at least another decade.

The reality is IPS isn't perfect, either, and OLED is still cost prohibitive and not completely immune to burn in. QLED is also expensive and not without its limitations.
