Best price for this product, will buy more!

Happy with the word.
In fact, if without perfectionism - a monitor without calibration with the correct presets can work quite correctly, the macOS will build a profile for itself with the correct colorants and linear vcgt, which will not be far from those measured by the spectrophotometer. Windows users from the profile site can download or even simply extract from any photo of a modern iPhone - it will also work. However, mid-priced monitors have advanced a lot in recent years in reaching the standard without calibration. Of course, I have already calibrated myself three times, and for the next couple of weeks I will lick vcgt to the ideal, but so I just changed it to a hot one, built profiles for an hour and a half on the day of purchase - and that's it.
And the former Adobe RGB Full HD monitor will still work at a remote workplace outside the city, otherwise the screen was too small and not very convenient.
There is no native Display P3 sRGB gamma preset in the menu, but this is corrected by the profile vcgt curves. That is, a perfectionist will find how to make good things a little better for sane money.
The color picture in applications without color management, as expected, looks softer than on the former monitor with Adobe RGB coverage, for me the Apple P3 is somehow more balanced in terms of colorants. But it's so simple bonuses are already beyond the boundaries of our publishing theme.

Pros

I sat on Asus for several years with Adobe RGB coverage - for working with color in printing - a sweet deal. But then such an idea came up, should I switch to a slightly smaller Display P3 coverage and a higher resolution, from Full HD to full-fledged Ultra HD (4K). And then, of course, the prices for good Adobe RGB models knocked me down, something decent - starting from 80 thousand, while very decent with Display P3 - "only" 40 thousand. And it's not a huge loss in coverage, plus Apple's widespread coverage, there are simply physically even more models on the market than models with Adobe RGB coverage, the competition is higher in this average between sRGB and Adobe sector. And I highly appreciate the monitor's belonging to one or another standard coverage, applephiles will understand me - there, even without calibration, the standard is a standard, and not god knows where the coverage came from, which is not like anything. No, I'm for Photoshop, calibration and all that, but not all damn programmers, unfortunately, want to bathe in color management in general, and I'm not only in Photoshop. The standard coverage itself is cool. Coverage is clearly more than sRGB - that's cool. Huge Adobe RGB in applications without color management is not convenient, and Display P3 is convenient, oddly enough, the iPhone and iMac convinced me of this. About the same thoughts. I have a monitor with licked vcgt for a long time, but over the years the Full HD resolution has certainly become outdated. Even in my purely publishing more convenient format of 1920x1200, and not just the game 1920x1080, something was not enough for me.
