    Any word on price yet? And do these come with some kind of pixel-perfect policy like the one that dell offers for their screens?

    This is going to have awful HDR support.

    CPU and build quality looks okay, sure colors will looks nice.
    Price isn't extreeme for amateur studio also.
    But there is a SMALL but ofc. - 250 nits with HDR screen:rolleyes:

    Contrast ratio and brightness sugesting it is not best for movies watching/editing or gamming. Not for home users sure.
    Device JUST for pictures works.

    ~1500 euro and it only hits 250nit? This isn't a HDR capable screen by any stretch of the marketers imagination even.

    It doesn't even claim to hit 100% DCI-P3, it claims AdobeRGB coverage, so this is basically a nice 10-bit AdobeRGB monitor that is Technicolor certified.

    I was hoping to see more monitor manufactures making noise about HDR-10 or Dolby Vision compatible 1000 nit capable monitors at this point.

    I'm sure that we will see some greater than 1000nit TVs at CES since the talk in HDR is 4000nit screen being the next targeted tier and the top end displays already hit ~1500nit.

    For this kind of money , the computer user should already have at least 1 or 2 options for a real HDR capable screen that aren't the $10,000-$20,000 OLED studio mastering monitors. It is just too much of a hard sell to tell tell a content creator to settle for a 55-inch TV next to their desk if they want to work with HDR when what they would rather pay for is a 32-inch to 43-inch "monitor" that calibrates well instead and they could be priced for the "pro" market at abound $2000 USD and still sell well and at that price even a OLED screen should be possible.
