IMartz verdict

Pros

Very wide color gamut coverage for its class.
Excellent contrast for IPS.
Very good ergonomics and USB-C, although only 15 W

Things to consider

Factory calibration and sRGB mode could be better.
Overdrive could be better; an intermediate mode is missing.
Basic HDR and a somewhat pronounced matte finish.

A good fit if…

Those who want good color, good IPS contrast and full ergonomic adjustments.
Users who find it at a heavily discounted price.

Consider another option if…

You find it near €200 or more.
You want genuinely good HDR.
You need serious color accuracy or a very accurate sRGB mode and do not have a colorimeter

Test note

HDR mode tracks midtones quite well, although it raises black levels and slightly darkens some shadows. It reaches around 423 nits; HDR Game and Movie reduce maximum brightness. Without local dimming, dark scenes and highlights have limited headroom.
