As soon as it was back in stock, I snapped one up.
Upon arrival, the monitor was carefully assembled and it was up and running in no time.

As soon as it was back in stock, I snapped one up.
Upon arrival, the monitor was carefully assembled and it was up and running in no time.
One thing to note, that instead of the usual IEC kettle lead to power the monitor it came with a brick adapter.
It did look great, some sample movies and you tube videos looked really good on the display.
However, after testing the monitor carefully with several test card patterns, a few defects began to be noticeable.
1. Vertical line pixilation – on the color blue
Although it doesn’t affect any other colors it is very noticeable in blue colors.
I do some photo editing, so this can become a problem for me. For the more casual user it may be ok.
2. Backlight bleed
This was the nail in the coffin for me. When the monitor displays a dark black screen, light bleed is evident on the lower-left section of the display.
There were also other light bleeds around the monitor. However, the lower-left section was absolutely horrendous.
Dark scenes within films or videos looked awful.
There was no doubt in my mind, the monitor was being returned.
Very disappointed. The monitor isn’t cheap and I expected more from this brand.
With the above defects, it does question how it passed final test?
If the monitor was half the cost, then perhaps I could have lived with it, but in this day and age you would expect products to pass the basics of quality control.
On a positive note, It is a nice monitor. The design it was drew me to this model. I love the design of the stand and bezel less display frame.
The display clarity and output is overall very good indeed. What a pity.
