Do you have a specific model you can recommend? I searched a brighter one out especially (300 nits), read reviews, etc. Paid 200€. What I got absolutely sucks, definitely not 300 nits, glitches half the time I try to use it, doesn't remember my settings. When I finally got around to return it, I discovered the company no longer exists lol.

The one I use now is branded YGG. I'd link it but someone already swapped out the Amazon listing to a different model. I think this is very close to what I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099DKQS8C/

It claimed 350 nits. Side-by-side with my M1 MBP, I'd say it might be close to that. A lot of them claim HDR but it's some bullshit definition of HDR - definitely not like the MBP's HDR mode.

I think it's a little bit of a crapshoot as to which panel and board you'll get no matter what the branding so somewhere like Amazon with free returns helps. There are a few more premium brands like Viewsonic and Lenovo.

This seems to be one of the categories where there are 42 different "companies" selling 2-3 actual products just with different branding.
