For anyone interested - the info on the page is incorrect. This monitor comes without a manufacturers warranty. BuyDig offers a 90 day warranty. You can return for any reason on their dime. These are all customer returns.
Thanks everyone. I rolled the dice. Crossing my fingers that it turns out OK.
Also, if you get prompted to sign-up for the newsletters to save $15 just know that it won't work. They already have a coupon on this bringing it down to $450. If you add the newsletter coupon it just replaces the other coupon.
Thanks. I did start there. Unfortunately, some reviews are for a different version (1080p). A ton of reviews are written by morons. HDMI cable doesn't fit into their laptop. Complaints about it not being 5k (duh it's 2K). One person reported that it was 1080i. Was really hoping that rtings or another reputable review site actually looked at it. Oh well ... the order shipped. Hopefully, it doesn't turn into a huge fiasco.
They are killing me. Almost bought at $500 last week.
Spent quite a bit of time looking for ANY reviews of this monitor and nothing. At $450 it may just be worth the plunge. At least $200 cheaper than a G9.

Deco gear is BuyDig's brand so there isnt a review on those.
This looks like the monoprice[monoprice.com]one that I had. I have the Sammy CRG9 now after I broke the MP one. I did like having the remote so I could switch inputs from DP to HDMI depending on my workflow. These large screens and funky resolution isn't for everyone, but at this price with free returns might be worth it.

If it helps ease your mind at all, search for "VIEW495K" (model number) on Amazon to see 300+ reviews.

Just chiming in from a past user of this monitor. I recommend spending an extra $200 for samsung's monitor. The quality of the screen is noticably lower and the software is borderline unusable. The remote doesnt work and if it does, it takes so many clicks for it to register

tbf it advertises "5K". 5K, 4K, 2K are dumb marketing terms that don't even make any consistent sense in the first place. 4K is because it's at least 4000 pixels wide (IF you use the 19:10 aspect ratio as opposed to 16:9). But by that logic 1080p should be 2K. But people call 1440p 2K for no reason. 1080p is at least 2000 pixels wide with the same 16:10 but nooooo, it doesn't count. And also 1080p is literally half the horizontal resolution as 4K so why isn't it 2K? So technically they are right that it's 5K if you just base it off of how 4K became called 4K.
But on the actual monitor, I would recommend people to just buy a monitor from a reputable brand instead. Monitor's are wrought with HUGE differences in quality despite having the exact same specs of resolution, hdr, refresh rate, g2g, color accuracy, etc. and very importantly since you can't expect to see the impact until after the 90 day warranty, lifespan. And in my eyes when I decided to buy the Samsung G9 is I'm not going to replace it for a loooooong time (running on 3 years rn, still no desire to upgrade since I have no panel issues).
edit: lol i don't get it. Are the people replying to me not getting my logic on the inconsistency in the logic of the 2k and 4k...? 4K is 4K because 19:10 is 4096 pixels. By that same logic, 1080p, 19:10 is 2048 and hence 2K. But lets not call 1080p that but the higher resolution, 1440p, 2K, and the new resolution 4K because that's wowee that sounds like such a big technological jump, it sounds impressive by a marketing perspective!!!!!! I spelled it out to you guys...

That's very useful information, thank you. I also have to agree, a good monitor can be used for many years, even an OLED should last for three to five if you take some care for it. I've had mine for almost two years and it has no burn in that I could see. I used it to watch king of the hill for a few weeks and noticed the black bars burned in a noticeable area, so I left some color correction YouTube video on for a day and it cleared it right up. I have used every monitor for about three years and not because they gave out, but because technology gets cheaper and better.
