I was surprised by the quality for the price.

I work with a monitor in printing and multimedia. I am satisfied with the purchase, calibrated 14 months ago with a spectrophotometer and nothing else is needed. Before that, there was a larger color gamut of Adobe RGB FHD format. I specifically went for a slightly smaller mainstream multimedia and Apple P3 - it seems to be more balanced and does not cause any complaints either in programs with color management or in programs without color management, in the latter the Adobe RGB standard is not convenient.
On the screenshot - 98% match of the color gamut of the monitor with the standard Apple and multimedia P3 - that's what was required. Measurements in the XRite program with an Eye-One Pro 2 spectrophotometer.

Pros

Claimed multimedia color gamut DCI-P3 is verified by calibration with a spectrophotometer. In monitor mode 4, the tone-transmitting function of the sRGB gamut is accurately reproduced, that is, in this mode it works in the Apple standard - Display P3 and actually does not need calibration, the vcgt tone-transmitting curves of the profile are obtained in mode 4 almost linear, that is, knowing this from the reviews of calibration modes - may or may not be calibrated. 4k IPS matrix is satisfied in terms of resolution and detail. Scaling to my vision and with such a diagonal in the operating system is required. Font smoothing on such a super-small pixel is simply gorgeous, man-made screenshots are gorgeous.

Cons

I don’t like the fact that the market does not rank monitors and laptops by color gamut at all, and this is the most important. I searched in another service for coverage, but I bought it here for 41at the end of 2022. I look at the price has grown specifically, but the monitor is worth it.
