I didn't expect the quality to be so high.

Everything would be fine, if not for: non-consistent behavior depending on the assembly of the monitor - below I will describe how this manifests itself.
I and two of my friends have the same identical monitor, including PN, only the assembly date is different.
When I connect to a MacBook Pro on Intel - there are no problems, neither in normal mode nor in HDR;
My wife has a MacBook Air M1 - the monitor does not work at all with her laptop;
One friend has all laptops only on M1 / ​​M1 Pro, his monitor works with them without problems in normal mode, and in HDR mode it changes shades to blue / blue (which I don’t have);
Another friend does not work HDR, but works without problems with M1 / ​​Intel normal mode.
All factory complete cables for connecting a monitor via type-c, only the assembly date differs.

Pros

Brightness, contrast, color reproduction for non-professional artistic activities, HDR, laptop charging with data transfer and images with sound through one type-c cord, little glare, very comfortable to read text (code) on it, vesa mount for bracket.

Cons
