I bought this monitor 3 days ago for 600€ and I am uncertain now if I want to keep it. Can you share some thoughts, it's just the picture quality is less than I expected for such expensive item. Yesterday I made some photos because I notice IPS glow during the day when looking the monitor from an angle and I suspected backlight bleed. For comparison I placed next to the monitor a 14" Lenovo Yoga 9i with FHD LCD screen. Both screens are at max brightness with the color profile I normally use and night light disabled. My phone couldn't focus well on the screens so don't look for sharpness in the images.

And you can see why I am uncertain, we have like a 1kg. laptop(granted it is also expensive but still) which has a better screen than a 600€ monitor which had one job - to have good image... Part of the problem is due to the poor screen coating I should say, it's too matte or too low quality matte and it scatters the light too much washing the colors.

Only the monitor at lowest brightness which is still very bright at night by the way.

Only laptop at lowest brightness.

This is my first monitor for a long time and I need you opinion. Are all LCDs like this, is this normal, would you keep it or return it for something else?
