Great monitor for Mac mini M1!

I bought this monitor for my new Mac mini M1 and I am absolutely satisfied with its quality. I'm not saying it's flawless - it's not - but I think it would be difficult, if not impossible, to find a monitor of similar quality for $500. Good: 1. No dead pixels.2. No light bleeding.3. Excellent color calibration out of the box.4. Excellent quality metal stand.5. Very convenient placement of cable connectors.6. Very easy to assemble, no tools required.7. The brightness on my device is close to 450 nits (400 nits are listed in the official specs).8. All cables included. Less good: As mentioned in another review, it's not possible to use 10-bit color and HDR at the same time. For some reason, 8-bit color looks way better on my Mac mini M1 than it does on my Dell desktop with a GeForce 1660TI graphics card (connected to the monitor with a Displayport cable). So I decided to enable HDR on my Mac and disable it on my PC. Not a perfect solution, but I can live with that and as I said, all in all for €500 you can't ask for more. I also have a good quality Benq Creator monitor (paid $1000+tax 3 years ago) and my new HP monitor has much better colors and brightness so I highly recommend it!
