Think it has been around £700/£729 before.
It was £679 a few weeks ago on a weekly offer but fairly sure it started at £749.

It boosts HDR with local dimming brightness by 200nits so worth doing if you into that.

Just realized I've got the M32u and this thread is for M28u.
Wonder if the updates the same ?

I had the same problem, an XG27UQR (4k 144hz) connected in DP 1.4 with DSC, and by putting my second screen the M28u, I have no more black screen (that I had by opening Netflix for example or spotify)

Ooo I’ll have a look at that later. The only thing I lost one 07 was 144hz at full res in my old MacBook via USB-C but my m1 wasn’t affected
According to a reddit post firmware F08 fixed monitor display shadows / flickering with certain graphics cards.

Might try install F08 on my M32
Seem to be pushing out updates fairly regularly.

I upgraded my MU28 to the latest F08 fw and can't say i've had an issues or noticed any improvements so far. The only thing i did find is it took 5+ mins to upgrade using OSD sidekick otherwise all fine.
F10 firmware is out, running it now but no idea what has changed.
Not sure if it's just blacebo effect but F10 seems to handle HDR better or windows 11 HDR has got better ?
I know this is not a true HDR monitor but it looks like it has a little more punch to the colours.

Thanks for the update. I'll get mine updated tonight.
Well i works for me but only after installing directly from the desktop otherwise it would not even run/install from my downloads folder.

Thought I just screwed my monitor trying to update.
Updated the OSD first because I saw there was a new version.
Then realized you don't update though the OSD program anymore.
The firmware downloaded now has its own updater.
Left the update running for a few hours to be honest came back to a blank screen and just the power led. Could get nothing from it.
Powered the monitor off reluctantly I had no idea what was happening.
Luckily came back to life and the updater program said failed.
Looks like the monitor has rolled all the way back to update F02 ????
Don't dares update it again not sure what's happened.

I believe it rolls back to F02 in the event the firmware update fails, the M28U is still updated within the software program via usb and it has never failed for me.
