Ooof. Not sure I'd be especially happy putting a £400 monitor on a £22 arm
Sometimes things are a bit too cheap for comfort
I'd be expecting to pay between £50 and £100 for something I could trust to be well engineered and not fail (spectacularly!).

It's not one of them long arms its more of a stand. Has good reviews too so worth the punt imo.

So tempted to buy the 32" based on positive reviews but I'm a little concerned about the resolution. So hard to find a 32" 4k ips screen under £400 it's practically none existent.
I need a new 2nd monitor for work and occasional YouTube video watching in addition to hobby photo editing; do I really need 4k i feel qhd isn't very future proof

If you want it for work and high res editing etc... then any 1440P monitor will not suffice but if it's for gaming, You/Tube, Browsing, Forums etc... the 32" version is fantastic, I was hesitant at first but as long as you have it at a nice distance it's a good experience, Everything is vibrant, Sharp and very responsive

That's my other concern that it might be too big ha. I will be sat at my desk using it so maybe a 27/28 might be better and I'm just being greedy lol

Just snapped one up at £298.99. Wasn't really looking to change my monitor but for that price, it is hard to ignore. I'll finally be able to get past a 60Hz refresh rate. 
I'm having thoughts about dropping my current monitor, selling it and picking up this one.
I'll lose a lot of screen but I'll gain a slightly higher refresh rate, G Sync etc. I'll wait to see what black friday gives us. Is anyone running 3 of these? That's what I plan to do when the time comes to move house, bigger room and get a new desk.

Had my current monitor forever, it seems. Will be nice to ditch 60Hz *and* 1080p Just crossing my fingers for no dead pixels or backlight bleed...
Just ordered one of these as replacement for a Gigabyte M27Q, on my daughter's new build that has the most horrendous orange tinted bloom on the left side of the screen. It completely ruined anything that wasn't brightly coloured.
Hoping this is a winner in the panel lottery of life.

Just got mine setup today and up on to my monitor arm. Love it. Compared to the old 27" screen that it is replacing it is a lot thinner and lighter. So I had to spend a bit of time adjusting the tension in the monitor arm. Just wish it didn't have to use a brick for the power. Going to have to rejig my cables to get it neat and tidy lol.

ICC profiles are handled by software (by Windows and by apps that support ICC profiles, which isn't all of them, or even many of them).
Also it's not guaranteed to improve accuracy on your monitor. I'm really not sure why people apply ICC profiles from a different unit half the world away, which could be a different batch, yadda, yadda. It's just as likely to make things worse as better.
There's no substitute for doing your own calibration, or just setting things in a way which looks good to you.
Well not a great start, the monitor was delivered but with box damage/hole that has been taped up. Not going to open it until I know where I stand, waiting for a response from C.S. Very annoyed with DPD as think the driver placed the box in such a wa that I couldn't see it until I took it in.
