Great Monitor!

Bought this for a photography editing monitor to go along with my MB Pro M3 MAX. It is listed as open box, but i couldn't tell if the original box was ever open! I did hours of research, and settled on this model. So far so good, great picture, no dead pixels, speakers are better than I thought it would be.

Excellent monitor

This review is after 2-months of full-time use in a dual monitor setup. As a photographer, I was looking for a monitor that was capable of accurately reproducing sRGB colors, easily managing color calibration, and this monitor meets all of these expectations. While I primarily work in the sRGB color space, the ability to quickly change the color space using the 'hockey puck' (included) is perfect. I have found this to be a solid, stable monitor with no issues found so far. Positives: * Adorama quick delivery and excellent packaging to prevent in transit damage * Color calibration and display accuracy * Easily works with Photoshop and Lightroom * 31.5-inch size provides plenty of real estate to work on images, or multiple business software * Price point versus other monitors Challenges: * Setup instructions neglect to mention how to select the input cables--lower right side rear button, press to see the input selection then push the same button up, down, or sideways to make your input selection * If you want to run 4k video, consider another monitor as this one lags. Not unexpected given the lower refresh rate. Not an issue for my use case
