I'm kinda confused as to why this monitor is getting it's own news article. I mean the specs are multiple years behind the times, it's VA so it's colors can't be great and it's only 180 hz with a long time standard of 1ms response time. My couple year old 34" ultrawide has all the same specs. Please let me know what I am missing?

Not all VA panels have bad color, there's many that are comparable to IPS and better than a midrange IPS even.
