Sorry, I would not buy either monitor. But instead, I would order off of Apple's Veteran's web site (with a 10 percent discount) their 32-inch XDR display (smile...smile).
I got the Studio Display and its great. But not awesome, when it comes to refresh rate or nits. Anyway, i would never ever ever buy a clone - which this monitor in the video seems to be - lay down 1000 bucks to buy a monitor form copy catz. i would rather buy a secind ASD before i do this
This display is $1100 vs $1400 for the Studio Display with my Military/Veteran discount. That's not half. Much rather spend the extra $300 and get the real deal.
The no holes version is $800 on clickclack without the stand, pretty good deal if you already have VESA arms. Another benefit over the Studio Display is you can run the full 5K through both displayport and USB-C/thunderbolt if you have a desktop PC and a laptop, you don't need a separate KVM.
Made the mistake of buying one of these from the “factory” here in China. Three days to get them to ship it. Constant lies about testing… just hopeless. Perhaps the Russian and American stores are better. Suggest to avoid like the plague
28 inch 5K it the perfect screen because 200ppi. I currently have a 4K at 28 inch, for 150ppi goodness at 100% scaling. 200ppi at 125% scaling means "150ppi" still just sharper. 30 and 32 getting too large, 26 too small, 27 may be acceptable. I'd take 30 but in 2160 height for 21:9. But if I do pay for such a panel I want 90Hz at least, and absoltuely a 10bit panel too. And not super glossy. Still good we gte more choices.
G34W… Really wish you did purchase the 34” one to compare to the actual $7K one… Wanted a dual setup but didnt want to spend another $7K… but came across this one. Only difference i seen was the fact that they had the perforated rear only on the 27” and not the 34”. And yes Im aware my Apple Pro Display XDR is about 32”. Dont think in person you could see the difference .
Thank you for the review! I see it has both HDMI & USB-C inputs. If you plug in two separate computers, one computer connected into the USB-C port, and the other into the HDMI port, which port will it prioritize and display?
I asked a price included shipping to The Netherlands. On top of the price below you also need to pay import tax. It's not worth it to buy. For a little more money you can buy an original Studio display. Kuycon G27P - Perforated with Height-adjustable stand 1299 EUR or 1300 USDT Including shipping to Netherlands
Well, laws and shipping costs are different in different countries, so for the Netherlands it really doesn’t make sense to buy Kuycon, but in Russia for example - it does
Thank you for your review, I intend to buy this one but in Viet Nam , some guy agree to other model X not P, 4 option available in VN is S9 Samsung, Rich Vision RV100, Studio Display, and Kyucon g27x , 2 of them is S9 and studio are sell and have warranty in Viet Nam , s9 is nicer price with me , but it is matte coating like RV100 and Rv100 iit cheaper than S9, so i choose pick RV100 , but it is matte Screen coating and out of the box plug and play if dont calibrate , It's is so Blue with my Spyder X2 , said that 7900K white point . After calibrated with SpyderX2 it is very good in color when compair with my 16 inch M1 Pro , but if let me choosing to by monitor again, i will buy G27p and pay more money with glossy screen and design
it's $1100 vs. $1400 of the studio display on ebay. don't think it's really a "cheaper" option considering the quality trade off and aftermarket support
@@chidorirasenganz also also. - resale value. that Kuycon will be worth £200 second hand the minute you buy it, the Studio display will last for 10 years then sell for £500.
In my country it is priced around the same as the Samsung ViewFinity S9 S27C900PAE 27" 5K which has speakers. It would be interesting to know who/what panel is being used in that Kuycon. I suspect it is the same as the Samsung and apple 27" 5K monitors - a Samsung. EDIT- Apparently it's an LG panel that they all use. There's a thread on Reddit started by someone who's returned 4 of these for being faulty.
it would've been better to do a side-by-side (apples to oranges )comparison with Apple's, monitor, and talk about what the trade-offs are and pros and cons.
How's the build quality? This is a key point because the studio display has phenomenal build quality compared to the competition and is one of the defining features imo. Is it plastic or metal? How are the hinges and are there any creaks, etc?
Rather spend the $300 to get the real thing. This seems like it's a blatant copy (possibly illegal) of the real IP. Perhaps that's why it isn't sold in the US.
I would actually suggest to just save up for a bit and get the Studio Display, the price difference is $600 but you'll be much more pleased with the OG Apple product because you know... Apple etc. :)
I honestly wouldn’t mind paying the Apple price for a beautiful 5K MiniLED display. Just needs to be updated with 120HZ promotion.

@@hackexpert0003 I returned my ASD 2 years ago and replaced it by an Eizo ColorEdge. Cheaper and much better. The ASD is only an 8 bit panel. The MBP delivers better contrast, especially in dark areas. There are many monitors better than Apple monitors.
This Kaycan has one significant disadvantage, which negates all its advantages - its LED backlight contains a lot of blue /cold spectrum, which for many of you / users, after half an hour of operation, your eyes will start crying in pain! And no settings/adjustments of this monitor will save your eyes from this pain!
@@droneview-Berlin Yes, this Chinese monitor has such a function, but it does not solve the problem of your eyes and at the same time it will change the color palette of your image for the worse. Any change in the brightness/contrast level of this Chinese monitor leads to a significant change in the color saturation of the image. At one time, I spent 2 weeks setting up this Chinese monitor and in the end I was not able to achieve a satisfactory result. Now I have an Apple Studio Display which does not have a monitor setup menu but, at the same time, I can sit in front of the monitor for many hours, see a beautiful/correct image on it and at the same time my eyes feel comfortable all this time without the need for any manual settings...
@@NOlimitsON thanks. Same in France, i can have 2 Kuycon for almost one Apple display. I prefer to invest in a great/expensive mac studio/mbp M4 (soon) because I'll keep longer.
are you able to check if the hdmi port works with stuff like android tv or chromecast with google tv at 4k to watch content on netflix or similar apps?
Nice review. Have you reviewed a Samsung monitor which comes close? In the near future I want to buy a 16" MacBook Pro (M-series) and I want to buy a Samsung monitor to go along with it. Do you have some recommendations?
Was waiting so long for such a review. Thank you for your job! Nice English by the way! But i have questions: 1. Does it has auto brightness adjustment? 2. Does it has speakers?
Which one of the X o P look more like the studio display in terms of bezel size? I have 2 studio displays. Curious how they would look with either option. I would prefer it to look almost exact but the P certainly seems to look better and likely has smaller bezels? It is hard to spend 1000 though when I can just find a used studio or refurbished for close to that
I feel like by modern standards the Apple / LG display doesnt hold up well Theres a lot of better displays nowadays from resolution, color accuracy, brightness, framerate, responsetimes, etc... assuming you dont need the 5K specifically which nobody actually does. If you need extended resolutions theres plenty of those outside of these monitors. You really only wanna just get this for the looks tbh
The word 'need' just means want. We don't need to be alive. That's a fact. So in other words, you don't want this monitor but others do. Saying you shouldn't want this monitor, isn't that strong right? I understand what you mean but you have to understand what I mean too. I 'need' to have a monitor that's better than the rest of the monitors on the industry which look like they're stuck in the early 2000s compared to a cheap laptop display. A cheap laptop display makes monitors look trash. The monitor industry is really behind and have little to no incentive to improve. Gamers are the majority of budget buyers and the industry caters to them with rgb. That pretty much tells us everything we need to know. Everyone else who really wants a decent monitor will be doing so for their work, in which case they'll be expected to pay in the thousands as it's a business purchase. Those that want to view content without feeling like they've developed cataracts will just have to put up with it or buy a laptop. To put it into perspective, I'm typing on a macbook pro m1 and it has a microled display with great contrast, 120hz and 1600 nits HDR brightness, great colour accuracy and range, 254ppi... Perfect. Now in the monitor world, there's nothing that exists as an alternative at any budget. Not to mention how thin this display in the laptop is. It even has a cutout for the notch and uniform thin bezels all around. In the monitor world, even with a budget of £3 million, you won't get a better display than this. Our phone displays are even better. The technology is there for them to make an oled 120hz 27inch 4k monitor. They just won't. Or if they do, they will ruin it somehow by making it a curved monitor or not have colour accuracy or brightness... Making larger monitors is expensive compared to smaller ones but its not that much more and it can be done, they're just choosing not to. We have 42inch 120hz lg c1, c2 tvs. We even have 8k tvs. If we can bring them down to 27 inches or even 32inches, problem solved. They could even combine the display in my current laptop with another 2 in portrait and boom. You have a perfect microled 120hz monitor with exceptional brightness, ppi and colour accuracy. The cost will still be cheaper than the apple xdr monitor. A macos native software solution which combines the 3 displays in portrait and uses them in landscape won't be difficult for apple to design. Additionally, they also have a 16inch display in the larger laptop variant. I'm not sure if they can work around the bezels but there are much easier ways of doing this. We have flexible oled panels at this point in time. I understand that they're not perfect but they're way better than whatever is considered "exceptional" in the monitor space at the moment. I tried so many of these monitors and ended up confused. How could they even review these monitors without putting them back in the box and quitting. The bottom line is, most of these reviewers say one thing and then use another for themselves. They don't have a stake in mine or your success or happiness. They know that people don't watch their reviews for purchase decisions, they watch it for entertainment. If it's for purchase decision, they can't be blamed because they never explicitly said whether you should buy it. They don't even say if it's good or bad they just set a tone. I settled with the studio display in the end because I had to, not because I wanted to throw away all that money. It's a shame but I've had mine for 1-2 years now and I can sell my phone and live with a dumb phone but this display is something I can't get myself to sell. Also 5k is 75% more pixels than 4k and these monitors last a very long time. Displays (good ones anyway not the competitors) last a very long time. Specially apple displays. They don't wear out unlike laptops (even though macbooks and iphones last a very long time too). They also hold their value for this reason. If you like, you didn't spend £1200 on a studio display, you just paid £150 per year of ownership for 2-3 years and then you stop paying. You sell it for most of its value. Also, definitely buy these second hand and I highly recommend the vesa mount version. A reviewer would say I recommend this monitor to a professional but I will be honest. I recommend this monitor to everyone who uses a computer for more than 30mins a day. Doesn't mean you should buy it. Only reason not to buy it is because you can't afford it. Same reason we're not living in a mansion. I highly recommend those too. Can't not recommend one because it's too expensive. Can't say we don't need one because we can live without it. We can live without living too. Nothing is necessary.
@@NOlimitsON thanks for reply brother. I'm still a little bit concerned about ventilation in Kuycon monitors. Does G27P gets really hot? I dont want to buy an ASD(apple studio display) knock off to use it about 6-7 months to then it overheat and die xD
Interesting. So $400 difference but this monitor is 1) Not colour accurate out of the box 2) No integration with macOS for brightness or sound control 3) No 3 studio array mic with bean forming 4) No 6 speaker array with great base for a built-in monitor 5) No built-in webcam that does center stage 5) Ports that stick out of the monitor and placed in the middle where the user needs to reach far into the back to unplug cables 6) 2x higher keyboard to monitor latency which would impact apple arcade gaming experience 7) A counter weight stand that makes moving the monitor down difficult and untasteful 8) Side USB-A port and headphone jack that breaks the unibody aesthetic. This sounds like a lot of compromise to make. At this point, anyone considering shelling out $1099 on a monitor would do themselves a service by saving a few more months to pony up an extra $400 for a much better experience
It's about the same price though. It's about $1900 shipped here to Canada with a stand, which is the same price I'd pay from Apple for theirs. Kind of a ripoff for a Chinese product to me.
This monitor is still 1100USD. i'd much rather put in the extra 400USD and get the real Apple Monitor. I dont know what math this dude learn in school to say this is half price.
If you only edit video ore Photo this is nice monitor! BUT if you are like me! Gamer, and video editor! I Can't use monitor in 60Hz!!! I need 144Hz minimum! Samsung S7 4K 32" its HALF the Price of Kuycon!
@@NOlimitsON Only one port is Thunderbolt 3 /4, USB-C. You can only connect a mouse or keyboard to the other USB-A and USB-C ports. The monitor does not have a webcam or sound system. Kuycom must first prove itself as a brand of good monitors.
@@keesswier212 The mac studio or any macbook or laptop has bluetooth and other io via a docker at least. Not much to miss. 3rd party speakers are always better than any monitor mounted anyways. What makes a good monitor for this tier is not based on the factors you outlined.
We sure do need quality options to the Studio Display but this one doesn't seem like it. Looks like a cheap clone ripoff of Apple's monitors to be honest. There's a reason why it is not widely available. Too bad...
As a content creator, how can you promote and object to that is clearly a ripoff? one of the problems creators face is people who grab other people's videos and then post them, often making more money than the creator, who sees pennies, as the ripoff account has more subscribers and more views as it's always posting viral videos. I know you have a small channel and can use the income, but don't trow your ethics for a few dollars.
To a degree I agree with you. However, it is possible for companies to sell similar items. Sure the monitors frame may be a rip off but they can sell the same monitor with their own changes to it. Without tweaks, nothing would be new by now. Brands share the same parts sometimes. Do you boycott Samsung for coming out with monitors that look similar to the iMacs?
My problem is not with with this You Tube channel, and thank you for sharing information about this monitor. But, it was with the products web site ...totally a rip-off from Apple, Inc.
Totally agree. The price makes the decision. But as it‘s a clone, I would pay less a 1000 € maximum. I own the xdr and I am happy. Not about the price, but about the image.
@@NOlimitsONJust ignore him. I’d dream of having any 5k monitor. Also that “cheap” looking monitor is made of better materials than most $4,000 plastic monitors

However.. the monitor of back side looks poor
I’d pick the plane back and be more than fine)
how are the speakers?
It doesn’t have speakers)
lol@@NOlimitsON
Have you tried hooking up a PC tower to this display will it work?
I didn’t) but it should
@@NOlimitsONwith that DP and hdmi port i hope it should
Are you still happy with it 6 months later?
For the money - yes) Apple studio display would be better, but it’s overpriced in my country
@@NOlimitsON thanks. Same in France, i can have 2 Kuycon for almost one Apple display. I prefer to invest in a great/expensive mac studio/mbp M4 (soon) because I'll keep longer.
Those Chinese companies aren't too concerned about copyright infringement.
😆
100% 😅
They charge close to $300 for shipping, the is the most discouraging part
🤷♂️
yea , just check their shipping in US $249.
are you able to check if the hdmi port works with stuff like android tv or chromecast with google tv at 4k to watch content on netflix or similar apps?
I don’t have any of those devices 😅😅😅
All those devices uses standard HDMI protocol so I don't see why they would not work.
@@PLANETWATERMELON hdcp could be an issue, tho
Refresh rate?

Nice review.
Have you reviewed a Samsung monitor which comes close?
In the near future I want to buy a 16" MacBook Pro (M-series) and I want to buy a Samsung monitor to go along with it.
Do you have some recommendations?
Thanks! No, I didn’t test it yet… but I think the Kuycon will be a better fit)
@@NOlimitsON ahaaa....okay.
I'm going to look at this model more closely.
Thanks
samsung viewfinity s9
Was waiting so long for such a review. Thank you for your job!
Nice English by the way!
But i have questions:
1. Does it has auto brightness adjustment?
2. Does it has speakers?
Thanks mate)) no auto brightness and no speakers 😅
For a price difference of a few 100 dollars, it's not really attractive that you get the LG panels that failed quality control at the studio ;)
for the price I'd buy the apple one unless you have windows or other than apple. Apple is selling the Studio Display Certified Refurbished for 1350
Why wasn't the BenQ - AQCOLOR PD2725U on the spec sheet review?
And why it should have been?)
@@NOlimitsON Check out the INNOCN 32 OLED 32Q1U
Is the screen laminated or there's a gap between the LCD and Glass?
Hard to tell… seems like it’s laminated
@@NOlimitsON many reviews says most of the Kuycon monitors are laminated, i'm really tempted to buy the 4k 144hz version
How far down will it adjust?
Pretty far
Insane
Your English is perfect! ❤
Thanks) I appreciate it!
Which one of the X o P look more like the studio display in terms of bezel size? I have 2 studio displays. Curious how they would look with either option. I would prefer it to look almost exact but the P certainly seems to look better and likely has smaller bezels?
It is hard to spend 1000 though when I can just find a used studio or refurbished for close to that
The P has slimmer bezels and smaller and lighter overall
@@NOlimitsON ok so the X is similar to the Studio display? Is the quality of the screen any better on the X? Or it’s just slimmer and more ports?
I feel like by modern standards the Apple / LG display doesnt hold up well Theres a lot of better displays nowadays from resolution, color accuracy, brightness, framerate, responsetimes, etc... assuming you dont need the 5K specifically which nobody actually does. If you need extended resolutions theres plenty of those outside of these monitors. You really only wanna just get this for the looks tbh
The word 'need' just means want. We don't need to be alive. That's a fact. So in other words, you don't want this monitor but others do. Saying you shouldn't want this monitor, isn't that strong right? I understand what you mean but you have to understand what I mean too. I 'need' to have a monitor that's better than the rest of the monitors on the industry which look like they're stuck in the early 2000s compared to a cheap laptop display. A cheap laptop display makes monitors look trash. The monitor industry is really behind and have little to no incentive to improve. Gamers are the majority of budget buyers and the industry caters to them with rgb. That pretty much tells us everything we need to know. Everyone else who really wants a decent monitor will be doing so for their work, in which case they'll be expected to pay in the thousands as it's a business purchase. Those that want to view content without feeling like they've developed cataracts will just have to put up with it or buy a laptop. To put it into perspective, I'm typing on a macbook pro m1 and it has a microled display with great contrast, 120hz and 1600 nits HDR brightness, great colour accuracy and range, 254ppi... Perfect. Now in the monitor world, there's nothing that exists as an alternative at any budget. Not to mention how thin this display in the laptop is. It even has a cutout for the notch and uniform thin bezels all around. In the monitor world, even with a budget of £3 million, you won't get a better display than this. Our phone displays are even better. The technology is there for them to make an oled 120hz 27inch 4k monitor. They just won't. Or if they do, they will ruin it somehow by making it a curved monitor or not have colour accuracy or brightness... Making larger monitors is expensive compared to smaller ones but its not that much more and it can be done, they're just choosing not to. We have 42inch 120hz lg c1, c2 tvs. We even have 8k tvs. If we can bring them down to 27 inches or even 32inches, problem solved. They could even combine the display in my current laptop with another 2 in portrait and boom. You have a perfect microled 120hz monitor with exceptional brightness, ppi and colour accuracy. The cost will still be cheaper than the apple xdr monitor. A macos native software solution which combines the 3 displays in portrait and uses them in landscape won't be difficult for apple to design. Additionally, they also have a 16inch display in the larger laptop variant. I'm not sure if they can work around the bezels but there are much easier ways of doing this. We have flexible oled panels at this point in time. I understand that they're not perfect but they're way better than whatever is considered "exceptional" in the monitor space at the moment. I tried so many of these monitors and ended up confused. How could they even review these monitors without putting them back in the box and quitting. The bottom line is, most of these reviewers say one thing and then use another for themselves. They don't have a stake in mine or your success or happiness. They know that people don't watch their reviews for purchase decisions, they watch it for entertainment. If it's for purchase decision, they can't be blamed because they never explicitly said whether you should buy it. They don't even say if it's good or bad they just set a tone. I settled with the studio display in the end because I had to, not because I wanted to throw away all that money. It's a shame but I've had mine for 1-2 years now and I can sell my phone and live with a dumb phone but this display is something I can't get myself to sell. Also 5k is 75% more pixels than 4k and these monitors last a very long time. Displays (good ones anyway not the competitors) last a very long time. Specially apple displays. They don't wear out unlike laptops (even though macbooks and iphones last a very long time too). They also hold their value for this reason. If you like, you didn't spend £1200 on a studio display, you just paid £150 per year of ownership for 2-3 years and then you stop paying. You sell it for most of its value. Also, definitely buy these second hand and I highly recommend the vesa mount version. A reviewer would say I recommend this monitor to a professional but I will be honest. I recommend this monitor to everyone who uses a computer for more than 30mins a day. Doesn't mean you should buy it. Only reason not to buy it is because you can't afford it. Same reason we're not living in a mansion. I highly recommend those too. Can't not recommend one because it's too expensive. Can't say we don't need one because we can live without it. We can live without living too. Nothing is necessary.
Speakers? Camera?
None of that
Can I have this delivered to Australia?
No idea, to be honest… you’d better text the support team of Kuycon USA
Does anyone know how this would compare to a 27" iMac Pro screen?
Very similar
@@NOlimitsON thanks! Great to know! Excellent review btw.
Man you solved mi life, spasibo!
Welcome)) stay tuned)
@@NOlimitsON What did you use to calibrate it? Or how did you do it?
will it work on windows @ 5k resolution?
It should, but I didn’t test it
Plate or hole version? Does hole version even help with the ventilation?
I think it’s only about the aesthetics
@@NOlimitsON thanks for reply brother. I'm still a little bit concerned about ventilation in Kuycon monitors. Does G27P gets really hot? I dont want to buy an ASD(apple studio display) knock off to use it about 6-7 months to then it overheat and die xD
@@div8698 no) it gets only slightly warm) at least with my unit it is like so
@@NOlimitsON заказал G27P но без дырок для «вентиляции». Посмотрим как будет
@@NOlimitsON got my Kuycon g27p monitor. How did you manage to control brightness from mac on it?
Very simple and nice design. But Is there no backdoor or security issues?😢
What do you mean?
Webcam and mic?
None of that
@@NOlimitsON oke but that's a big deal if you would consider this in combination with a Mac Studio or mini
For shure no independent reviews
hmm half price? not really
the G27P Pro is $1,099 and Apple Studio 27" is $1,499
those prices straight from both manufactures sites too
Interesting. So $400 difference but this monitor is 1) Not colour accurate out of the box 2) No integration with macOS for brightness or sound control 3) No 3 studio array mic with bean forming 4) No 6 speaker array with great base for a built-in monitor 5) No built-in webcam that does center stage 5) Ports that stick out of the monitor and placed in the middle where the user needs to reach far into the back to unplug cables 6) 2x higher keyboard to monitor latency which would impact apple arcade gaming experience 7) A counter weight stand that makes moving the monitor down difficult and untasteful 8) Side USB-A port and headphone jack that breaks the unibody aesthetic. This sounds like a lot of compromise to make. At this point, anyone considering shelling out $1099 on a monitor would do themselves a service by saving a few more months to pony up an extra $400 for a much better experience
Don’t forget about the stand price of Apple studio display)
@@NOlimitsON the standard is still $999
In my country Apple Studio Display with a better stand costs 2400 euros, so 1100 euros for this one looks fair
Could you please tell me how to Disable built in Lens profile on Adobe Lightroom
I’m not a photographer, so can’t help you with that…
Does it 10bit?
I talk about it in the video mate)
@@NOlimitsON I like how it is not the answer
It's about the same price though. It's about $1900 shipped here to Canada with a stand, which is the same price I'd pay from Apple for theirs. Kind of a ripoff for a Chinese product to me.
HALF the PRICE? Nowhere bro.
No OLED no buy.
Hi, is shipping still possible in Germany, or are there problems with customs?
You’d better ask the support team of the shop) I’m not sure
Is it available in EU ?
Not sure… it’s available in Russia though 😅
27 is too small for video editing, better to have the BQ 32 that mimics apple display.
Me working on 16” MacBook as a main display for 2 years - 🙃🙃
Surprised no lawsuits have been made.
😅😅
It was almost perfect until the put ports on the side 🤦🏻
This monitor is still 1100USD. i'd much rather put in the extra 400USD and get the real Apple Monitor. I dont know what math this dude learn in school to say this is half price.
Definitely not half the price, it’s $1300+. Just buy the real thing at that point
Buy cheap, pay twice.
Pity it's just USA …
I went to buy it and was surprised to see $1099. No thanks.
So, to be honest and fair, it’s a straight up Knock off? That design is worthy of a lawsuit, so I’m betting it’s not available in the US 😅
😅
Sued by Apple speed run
this is not a fake company?
I doubt that a “fake company” can produce something like that)

Apple lawsuit in 3.. 2..
If you only edit video ore Photo this is nice monitor! BUT if you are like me! Gamer, and video editor! I Can't use monitor in 60Hz!!! I need 144Hz minimum! Samsung S7 4K 32" its HALF the Price of Kuycon!
5k display usually cost a lot more..
A monitor with USB-A and USB-C 2.0, which has a speed of 480 Mbit/s. Come on! 😂🤣
Technically usb-a can have high speeds (usb 3.2 gen 2 for example). Not all usb ports here are usb 2.0, be attentive
@@NOlimitsON Only one port is Thunderbolt 3 /4, USB-C. You can only connect a mouse or keyboard to the other USB-A and USB-C ports. The monitor does not have a webcam or sound system. Kuycom must first prove itself as a brand of good monitors.
@@keesswier212 The mac studio or any macbook or laptop has bluetooth and other io via a docker at least. Not much to miss. 3rd party speakers are always better than any monitor mounted anyways. What makes a good monitor for this tier is not based on the factors you outlined.
Before I even watch the video… Why 27”, 32 is the SMALLEST I will go.
I’m uncomfortable with 32”
We sure do need quality options to the Studio Display but this one doesn't seem like it. Looks like a cheap clone ripoff of Apple's monitors to be honest. There's a reason why it is not widely available. Too bad...
There are almost 0 alternatives, which is sad…
60hz on 5k? no thx.
Do you know any 5K monitor that does more than 60?)))
As a content creator, how can you promote and object to that is clearly a ripoff? one of the problems creators face is people who grab other people's videos and then post them, often making more money than the creator, who sees pennies, as the ripoff account has more subscribers and more views as it's always posting viral videos. I know you have a small channel and can use the income, but don't trow your ethics for a few dollars.
Bro, Kuycon doesn’t even know I made this video 😅 it’s just a monitor that I bought with my own money and decided to share the experience
😂😂😂 how much is apple paying to defend them f**king apple fan boy.
To a degree I agree with you. However, it is possible for companies to sell similar items. Sure the monitors frame may be a rip off but they can sell the same monitor with their own changes to it. Without tweaks, nothing would be new by now. Brands share the same parts sometimes. Do you boycott Samsung for coming out with monitors that look similar to the iMacs?
My problem is not with with this You Tube channel, and thank you for sharing information about this monitor. But, it was with the products web site ...totally a rip-off from Apple, Inc.
Completely stolen design from Apple. Reason to sue
Well, it's up to Apple now)
...and yet another obviously sponsored review.
Considering that I’ve purchased it with my own cash - 100% sponsored😂🤦🏻 I even say it in the video. Don’t be stupid.
This monitor looks like poop
Well, I didn’t think so)
shitty monitor as almost all the chinese "products"... .
😅 arguments? A ton of Apple products are made in China as well, don’t forget 😉
@@NOlimitsON everything I bought directly from China was complete garbage.
It doesn’t have independent reviews So why should we trust you?
@@NOlimitsON are made, not designed my fellow man!!!
Where are you from and tf you guys make for the world?
Monitor looks cheap compared to the original 🫣😂
It doesn’t, bro) and who cares really, if the image quality is on par)
Totally agree. The price makes the decision. But as it‘s a clone, I would pay less a 1000 € maximum. I own the xdr and I am happy. Not about the price, but about the image.
"Cheap" is a complement.
@@NOlimitsONJust ignore him. I’d dream of having any 5k monitor. Also that “cheap” looking monitor is made of better materials than most $4,000 plastic monitors
