"Meirro is a brand by ClickClack"

I am guessing Kuycon make this for click clack. The difference seems to be quality control for uniformity etc. which is a good thing.

Also it is 450 nits rather than 600 nits which is probably needed to get that uniformity. Interestingly BenQ also use 450 nits for their new glossy monitors.
 
Meirro's 30 day return policy is promising: https://www.meirro.com/legal/returns ... don't recall that being offered with Kuycon.

One side note regarding returns (from info on their site):

Return Shipping Costs
Change of mind returns: Return shipping is at the customer's expense.

Defective or incorrect items: We will cover return shipping in full. Contact us first before sending anything back.

I see on the reddit related post that Meirro is Click Clack's own brand (since both Meirro and Click Clack are NJ based). Interesting for sure.

I am a bit of the fence on ordering one just to see how it. That part is not really a positive differentiator Vs. Kuycon in practice as Kuycon or Alibaba and even the retailer's support have been nothing short of exemplary based on forum feedback and my own experience. My retailer actually offered better terms albeit not as formally written due to the international grey area. For my 2 Kuycon units, I requested pre shipment pictures and testing to reduce the probability of merchandise return and got them.

I am actually more curious about the HDR and how reflective the glass is.

Interesting monitor. I see the GTG is 14ms; they show a Thunderbolt icon on the pack, but the specs say USB-C 80 GBs, included cable is stated as a USB4 80 GBs.

No USB-A .... I consider that a plus; I am sure others will not. 🙂

I wonder how Mac-friendly it is? Puck for setting options?

Their website includes "It's built to live on a Mac. HDR works out of the box. Brightness adjusts directly from macOS without any software workarounds. USB4 handles charging over a single cable, and four USB-C ports mean your desk stays clean." ... since there's no hdmi or display port I'm guessing their only audience is mac users.

Ohhh....I see. I had not connected the dots about the absence of DP and HDMI. Yep, looking again at the site, this seems to be a Mac-centric monitor. It will be interesting to see if we are going to play panel lottery or not.
 
Meirro's website includes an interesting testing guide: https://www.meirro.com/testing-guide

I'm wondering if they perform these tests ahead of shipping the monitor (most notably STEP 2 - Screen Health & Uniformity) or is it assumed that this type of testing is the responsibility of the buyer?

The GTG just roughly matches the 60Hz frequency...
I am not sure the pictures are those of the actual products or just renditions. I found odd that the specs lack basic stuff like dimensions but they already have weight. I would speculate that the massive brand silkscreen on the back is not on the actual product and is likely at most a sticker.
The USB-C/Thunderbolt is just to mark which USB-C port is the input. The nature of the input port seems to be the same as the Kuycons (USB4 carrying DP+USB2 signals)

So who is taking one in to report back? 🙂

To clarify, it's a VESA USB-C DP 2.1 Alt Mode + DSC port though, right? Not a true USB4/Thunderbolt connection. I.e., it has either 4 lanes of UHBR20 (DP 2.1) or HBR3 (DP 1.4).

The marketing hand waves by saying "compatible with" USB4/Thunderbolt, but it seems like they mean it supports degrading the connection from true USB4/TB to USBC DP Alt Mode + DSC.

I was playing with their testing page as well. I hope they are providing this as a show of good faith these are good panels. We will see.

LOL ... I was on the buy page earlier and almost, almost made the buy. I am going to email them first and get information about warranty, returns, etc.

Yes you are correct. Not a true Thunderbolt connection. They call it USB4 but only in reference to the bandwidth which in this case is nearly dedicated to the DP signal

I want to encourage this initiative, so I’m adopting one ASAP. I like that they didn’t do an announcement, and instead launched it with pre-orders immediately available. I have a G32P, but this seems improved. I have someone who wants my G32P, and I prefer the clean aesthetic. It’s a very good price for the same LG Display panel and backlight.

I imagine Click Clack has learned from selling and supporting the G32P—many of the changes in the Meirro, like brightness controls and firmware updates supported on macOS, are no doubt a result of that experience.

I was very tempted but timing is the worst for me. I just got my G32P and the shipping beginning of July and 2 week transit would make it arrive right around the time when I will be taking away from home for a long while. I am very curious as to how it will turn out though, especially in comparison to the Kuycon in terms of how glossy and how the off center color shift is.
 
@tornado99 "I am guessing Kuycon make this for click clack."

No. I don't think that's likely, as Kuycon seem to have tight control of their branding.
I guess ClicKkClack trawled through a list like this one (search the Suppliers tab) to find a manufacturer offering a bespoke (USB-C only) 6K product at their appropriate pricing.
There is plenty of choice apart from Kuycon... 😉

Yes, and ClickClack has a track record doing that for their keyboard designs. Meirro is not using the Kickstarter - Group Buy - Discord distribution model like ClickClack does for the keyboards, but nonetheless that experience means they are not entirely new to these things.

My hope is that Meirro can sustain this and bring new versions to market when improved parts and manufacturing processes become available. For example, this monitor has similar Thunderbolt-USB4 protocols and USB hub constraints as the G32P, so presumably that’s a limitation of the hardware they are using. We spend a lot of time of the 5K and 6K WikiPost list threads discussing assorted domestic Chinese brands that use “off-the shelf” parts, but a lot of those are not macOS-friendly, or they lack engineering chops. Meirro appears to meet both these criteria, but of course we’re still waiting for this to ship…

I contacted Meirro regarding future firmware updates and if they are possible using a Mac (vs. requiring a Windows PC like Kuycon) ... their response:


The Meirro Pro 32” 6K fully supports firmware updates via Apple Mac computers.

No third-party software is required for the firmware upgrade process. You only need a standard USB-C flash drive to download and install the firmware package directly.

Our team is committed to releasing continuous firmware updates. We will do our utmost to resolve any potential compatibility issues that may arise with future macOS and hardware iterations from Apple.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

You just saved me an email. 🙂 I am still curious about support and returns; if the return is to their New Jersey office, or back to China.

In the US, return goes to NJ / Boston.
In Europe, return goes to Poland.
Rest of the world, goes to China service center.

Curiouser and curiouser... 😉
Looking the above post of the Meirro review video there are some unexplained titbits:

In many aspects it is similar to the Kuycon G32P, but for every similarity there is a noticeable difference.
Nothing exactly matches Kuycon, so it it probably isn't a K product.

EDIT: Actually, as with the Kuycon, I bet that is a 3.5mm audio-out socket next to the remote IR receiver... 😉

But nothing at all matches the cheaper 6K monitors like TColor or its clones, which use MediaTek scaler chips on their video boards.

The Meiro uses RealTek's own firmware's OSD design layout, so the Scaler chip will be Realtek - like Kuycon.

MeirroOSD.jpg


But Kuycon use their own firmware, commissioned from a RealTek-associate code writing company in Singapore (according to Google and Linked-In).

What the video missed!!! is the Factory OSD option...
This is the screenshot of the similar RealTek F/W OSD on my DIY 5K iMac Pro monitor with CY-R1811 HDMI 2.1 board:

R1811RealTekOSD.jpg


Now it is of course possible that the tech analysis screen that I have has been eliminated from the F/W on the Meirro monitor, and only a Reset option remains at that location, but I think it is extremely likely that Kuycon gets their scaler boards fabricated at the same CY (ChiYa Technology) factory as the R1811.
And I guess the Meirro is using a similar board from this company?

Kuycon's video boards are a bespoke design for them (a standard reference design with different input sockets),
And the RealTek reference design doesn't include a version with 1-in/4-out USB-C ports.

But ChiYa does sell a 5K monitor design with DP, HDMI and 1-in/4-out USB ports on the board, so the 6K variant of this could be the source of the video board used by Meirro?

It looks to me like that instead of a bespoke board design with rear facing USB-C ports, Meirro could be using a standard board design with downward sockets, and a separate rear facing USB-C port extension board added at the back.

The extra thickness of this would explain the larger depth of the Meirro case, compared to an Apple Studio Display:

MeirroDepth.jpg


Of course the Meirro monitor in the video could be a pre-production model, and not the finalised product?
