Anyone seen much about this? It looks to be using the LG C2 panel and has a good selection of inputs including USB-C which is perfect for my work/gaming needs.

I notice OcUK have one in the B grade section and very tempted to pull the trigger as I can't see the Samsung 57" G95NC Uber-wide coming out any time soon.

Awesome let us know how you find it. I was tempted by the 34In UW evnia but too pricey right now

I'm certainly happy with the size, I can happily run at 4k with things feeling a lot more visible than I was with the M28U. I would always scale the UI so lost some of the usable screen space. However I seem to be getting migraines from the panel, not sure if its just to how close I am as don't have a problem with my LG OLED C9 TV

will have to see what its like over the weekend but if it remains then I may have to send it back.

Another oddity is that the panel forces you to do a pixel refresh after 16 hours that takes 3 mins, all well and good until it does it during a work call... that wasn't great. Doesn't seem like there is anyway to turn it off either which is a bit stupid, it had been in standby all evening and could have easily run then instead.

The ABL/ASLB on this screen is pretty awful too

I can't find anything about being able to disable it and reduce it. Such a shame :/

Ah yea I have read that they are great panels let down by some shoddy software. Hopefully they firmware fix some of these annoyances

Sadly but a return request in

although I love the size it still makes me feel nausea after about 10 mins of constant usage

Really wish Philips would reboot the 436M6 with 120Hz refresh, wider VRR range and a few other little tweak/fixes - so many of the newer displays especially newer tech seem to have some serious downsides or at least one major downside like forced pixel refreshes - I'm surprised more people don't complain. If a product needs a refresh of this nature every few dozen hours of use they should just straight up bin it until they can actually make the tech work.
