Hi everyone.

My old korean "QNIX" monitor died so I bought two cheap 27 inch 1440p panels of that South American river site. And when I say cheap I mean cheap. I got them for 159$ Canadian each.

I made sure to chose an office oriented model rather than gaming as the design priorities wouldn't be the same. I didnt expect much more than 100% srgb coverage, maybe even less. My jaw dropped after calibrating both monitors. Calibrating at 110 cdm / 6400k, 2.2 gamma

This seems insane for such a cheap monitor... am I wrong? What would the profile on a purpose built wide gamut monitor look like?

I just hope these monitors will keep chugging along and not die within months for being so cheap.

I didn't mention the model here, I'm not sure it would be allowed. I'm just amazed, not trying to shill goods (edit: sorry, I just realized it shows under the profile name on my screenshots)

I don't know much about this monitor and have not seen any detailed reviews of the pros and cons for different applications such as photo editing (stabiity, accuracy over the whole screen etc). Amazing low price for that size monitor thought
