Seemed like kind of a deal. The Amazon reviews (if you can tell which ones are and aren't commingled), seem a bit mixed. Some comments about the firmware, and the HDR feature "suddenly dropping out", and colors looking washed-out after that.
Plenty of people bought these for their XBox / PS4 Pro, apparently.
Has two HDMI2.0 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4, and headphone jack. Has 2x2W speakers, reviews say they are really weak and not really worth using.
TN display panel, only 300 nits brightness. Rated 1000:1 Native contrast ratio, measured closer to 800:1. No local dimming. 10-bit panel, some reviews claimed 8-bit+FRC.
... but for ~$200? Seems like a "win" to me.

TH says it has input lag (20ms+), the other review says not noticeable (10ms). Amazon reviews mention firmware updates.
