Just ask for DDP shipping, that way I got quoted the full price including shipping and duties, and didnt have to pay anything extra when ordering to Finland (EU). The coil whine issue is present, but imo so minimal that it doesnt bother me, its impossible to hear through headphones.
You can work around the coil whine issue by using software that lets you adjust your display's brightness through software instead of the monitor's hardware controls, such as BetterDisplay.
yeah I would say the same. I also can't imagine playing that kind of money for a monitor you can't even watch reviews on from credible reviewers. I would certainly rather pay a little more for a brand that I can trust.
