4k is low even at 32" - you only get 140 dpi. With this 42" it will be horrible. Cheap newspapers printed when Al Capone was around were 300 dpi - 3 times better quality than what you get from this monitor. We need 8k. I've been on 4k since 2015, and I am still waiting for something better.

That's right. And it cannot be said enough: it doesn't matter whether one can see individual pixels or not, it's also about font distortion. The same letter/line can be rendered in many different ways (for example: slim, swollen to the right, swollen to the left) and, as a result, the spacing between them changes, thus all that careful optimization goes kaboom. The point is seldom any line fits the (sub)pixel matrix perfectly and even text displayed on 27" Ultra HD differs visibly from a laser print.

Why no mention of the HDR10 support?
Looking forward to a full review.

apparently Al Capone was more a fan of front projection too, he would roll in his grave if he knew how bad people had it these days

Al Capone frowns at the sight of fringing, he's been turning in his grave for decades

What GPU are using to drive your 8K monitor? And please don't tell me 4090, 'cause that is laughable.

Even Al Capone would know that DPI in terms of newsprint (where the text is not printed by dots but by castings from moveable type, and the image dot pitch is not directly correlated to image resolution due to the use of dot screen density to control pigment intensity) and DPI in terms of RGB subpixels, are about as comparable as Apples and Agent Orange.
