Wasabi Mango?

Just seen a review of this on LTT, 120hz 4k display and an iteration of HDR for just over a grand?

Anyone got one of these or had any experience of it?

There's a Korean ebayer selling it for $1337 which ships to the UK but there's a US seller selling for $949 who doesn't, it looks like the Korean seller is price gouging, I've put a watch on both sellers but I'd happily pay 800-900 pounds for one from the UK. So @Gibbo is there any chance OCUK will be stocking it?

What about import fees?

Worth noting that with HDR enabled it's under 100Hz and good luck with customer support and dead pixel policy.

I think I'd prefer to wait a little longer for Samsung and LG to step into the arena.

Obviously it'd be nice if LG or Samsung stepped into the space but currently only Philips, and Dell once, have made monitors in the 43" range.

There’s no real HDR support on this model anyway beyond support for 10-bit colour depth (if you drop to 98Hz or below). No real bump in peak brightness beyond a normal monitor (400cd/m2 only), no extended colour space (~sRGB only) and I doubt any form of local dimming which is needed to actually increase the dynamic range

Indeed, so i'm not sure whether this monitor is really worth it at all.

I've bought monitors like this in the past. So long as they are classed as an LED monitor with no tuner then they skip most of the additional import costs on top of the VAT as we have a trade agreement with S Korea.

No VRR?

No buy.
