same as iMac 5K: glossy and reflective. Not ideal if you're dealing with direct light. I prefer the vibrant colours and sharpness of the text/graphics. The nano texture or mate finishes will remove some of the sharpness.
For me, the glossiness is very similar to the 2020 iMac it replaced. The Kuycon is slightly less reflective.
I asked Kuycon about updating firmware via the flash drive and they said the monitor has the latest firmware. I asked about future updates and they said updates happen rarely.
Enjoyed his discussion about the practical experience of it being glossy; I could see his face reflected in the display, and glare on it at a different part of the review. Some people prefer glossy, some matte, good to see how it presented in the real world.
But it must also be said that not all glossy finishes are the same. My old Dell UP2715K has an excellent glossy finish, and even though the monitor is now 10 years old, the picture still looks absolutely fantastic! The Apple Studio Display also has a phenomenally good glossy finish. I'm surprised that some Kuycon users think its glossy level is on par with the iMac. I wouldn't have expected the iMac to have such a strong glossy finish.
Normally, an operator will speak to you. If it was AI, then respect to the AI, because when it comes to shipping fees, it is usually said that Alibaba handles that. But remember that customs duties will be added, and you will have to pay them (depending on how high the customs duties are in your country).
For me, a real person took over like 1 minute in. The AI talked about ~$100 for shipping, but the real person offered free shipping right away + 3 year warranty.
Also, you might have better luck in the morning since it’s middle of the night in China right now
I was wondering if someone could do a side-by-side of this. In the YouTube video I linked above the reflections seem pretty bad, but it's hard to know if it's actually worse than an ASD.
