Very tempting at that price. 384 dimming zones for HDR have me interested. I currently have the faux HDR, giant glow around bright subjects.

Like the reviewer, I too prefer my color just a tad bit on the cool side. I have been able to accomplish this to some degree by keeping the monitor in standard mode, and then going to Color->Advanced -> and then going to both gain and offset and reducing the red channel to 49 (from default of 50). All in all it is a beautiful monitor, with the biggest downfall being the placement of the USB ports.
