Pointless superficial review, standard for Wired, Verge etc - no brightness uniformity check, no color uniformity check, no color accuracy check, no coating grain check.
Meanwhile a good number of reports mention terrible uniformity issues with that model.
This publications are entertainment pretending (sometimes) they are more than that.
Regurgitated press releases.
when I want display reviews I go to rtings.com
haven't found anyone who compares
Rtings publishes charts in abundance, but the subjective quality of a monitor is more important. For example, a chart will tell you a monitor has low color deviation from sRGB after calibration, but won't tell you that the monitor UI takes 10 laggy clicks to switch from sRGB to DCI-P3 and will reset your selection every time you toggle HDR mode.
I admire Rtings' attempts to add more and more graphs to quantify everything from VRR flicker to raised black levels. They were helpful when I last shopped for a monitor. But the most valuable information came from veteran monitor review sites such as Monitors Unboxed and TFTCentral.
Agreed; rtings has by far the best reviews and comparisons, and detailed tests nobody else seems to do.
I originally found them because they were one of the only sources that tested for PWM flicker in monitors.
Rtings good at measures, but bad at conclusions. Take their numbers and make your own opinion. Prad.de is better at that respect.

another good one they have is keyboard reviews. They do good work.
Notebookcheck and the German C'T magazine also do really decent jobs.
I've just bought one. The color uniformity is terrible across the screen. It's tolerable to me, but not what I'd expect at the price. Everything else is quite fantastic though.
They gave a color accuracy number, was there something wrong with it?
It needs to be independently measured, not just retold from the spec.
"I measured the average color error"
"I was able to measure 640 nits"
I don't see the problem.
