Yeah, instant non starter for a $1k display. And the HDR section makes it sound like HDR support is purely there to tick a checkbox and not actually usable on the device. Not even counting the fact that the author had to swap the display as soon as they received it to get a non-defective one.

There’s a reason Apple displays are still the gold standard. Everyone else just skips the quality control part. If you trawl the high DPI display subreddits, you’ll find plenty of stories of people exchanging displays many times (3, 4, 5 or more) until they get a unit with an “acceptable” amount of dead pixels/color shift.

For tech that’s in the $1k-$2k range (or above), it’s just unacceptable.

Apple is not the gold standard, Eizo's ColorEdge monitors are. Built-in hardware calibration is non-negotiable for color critical work. Monitors drift over time.
