I have the MBP M3Max 16/40, 48 GB/1 TB. My current monitor was a LG 4K U850 16:9 which has been great but I do a lot of Lightroom/productivity and wanted bigger. My Thoughts:
1. It's big, much bigger than when you see it online or in pics.
2. I'm running it though my single TB4/usb-c cable and getting full 5k2k 120hz 30 bit color
3. Just like with my LG, I have my DDJ-800 mixer plugged into the monitor and it works great.
4. No issues so far, knock on wood, with wake, sleep etc. Everything seems to work. See comment 7 though.
5. Screen is very uniform and nice. I don't bother with HDR unless OLED or mini LED.
6. Its feels like a dual monitor setup but no odd gap and the curve makes it more immersive. I have 2 safaris running side by side.
7. I have not upgraded the FW to the latest version nor have I updated to 14.4 Mac OS as I hear these can cause issues with the usb hubs built into monitors etc. I'll hold off a bit.
8. The color is a bit on the warm side but as advertised seems very accurate for what I do.
9. In a perfect world, i'd prefer to have a 40" 8K micro led monitor that's 1/2 " thin but for now this is as good as it gets as those don't exist yet. Oled is great for gamers but not so much for photography or productivity.
10. It just looks bad ass on my desk with the studio monitors etc. and 120 hz is icing on the cake.
