Talks about 4k at 120hz without mentioning that this usually sacrifices chroma, making text unreadable. Fine for games, but not for coding. No mention of Display Stream Compression. No mention of the importance of panel type (IPS vs VA vs TN). No mention of the various HDR standards (and especially how HDR400 isn't really HDR). Suggests getting a 5k, 6k, or 8k monitor while also insisting you get a 120hz display (it's going to be one or the other for the next couple of years). Suggests monitors whose adaptive sync feature only works on Nvidia GPUs.

The author seems to know a lot about font rendering but he doesn't seem to know that much about monitors despite having VERY strong opinions about them.

I suggest people wait till the new year before a big monitor purchase. EVE Spectrum is slated for Q4 of this year. If it delivers on its promises, it'll be the best value for what you get. And if it doesn't, you can fall back on the ROG XG27UQ or its contemporaries - assuming your GPU can support DSC, 4K, and 120hz.
