LG currently has it on sale for $399 ($100 off)
Edit: is it the same monitor as this? Answer: No it is not.

It is NOT a real LG Ultrafine. Or the Ultrafine brand has been diluted. That is to say, should be considered regular/over-priced at $299.
Viewing angles and brightness are horrid. Colors are all over the place. Side by side with an old Philips 272P7VUBNB I have (2020 for $340) put this to shame. Even comparing to a gaming monitor I have (2022 Asus XG27AQ) this thing had horrid viewing angles and color.
Basically you have to look at it straight on verticals and horizontal to avoid the washout and grey lines. Brightness helps a bit. My suggestion would be to spend a bit more and get one with VESA DisplayHDR 400 listed on the LG Website. But you might have better luck looking elsewhere altogether.

- No VESA mount? Really?
- I have a few LG screens. 350 nits is barely enough in a bright room during the day. My AOC monitors, that are also 350 nits on paper are about 50% brighter and have better firmware. (They actually go to sleep while my computer sleeps unlike the LG that I have to physically switch off otherwise they come on in the middle of the night.)
- 350 nits is not enough for real HDR. HDR 10 sucks anyway. I wouldn't hold is against this screen too much though because competing HDR standards are a complete mess anyway.

Look at the image of the back on Costco's site; it won't work with any VESA mount I have, and the specs do not show VESA compatibility.
I am not into gaming, I am using it for work - mostly excel and sometimes photo editing using Mac. How is the color and dynamic range for this model?
