I know you have to limit these lists to monitors you’ve tested, and you can only test so many, and you’re mostly gamer focused, but if you want a list that is “best” monitors for photo editing you really need to test, review and include some of the high end Asus ProArt models and some of the BenQ PhotoVue monitors. Those really are considered some of the best in the industry for most people (unless you want to bump up into the EIZO ColorEdge, which are prohibitively expensive).
The fact that the “best” monitor on this list only has 88% AdobeRGB coverage (per your review), while the runner-up has 99%, kind of makes me think you have no idea what you’re talking about when it comes to what a good monitor for editing photos is.
A professional photographer, who’s buying a monitor for the purpose of editing photos, is going to need something with 95% or higher AdobeRGB coverage if they’re even remotely serious about it. You can get away with something that is only 100% sRGB when you first start out, or if it’s just a hobby and editing photos on it isn’t it’s main purpose, but if it is a monitor specifically for PHOTO EDITING, as this article is titled, then a monitor with only 88% AdobeRGB coverage shouldn’t even be on the list, let alone in the top spot.

This is potentially a very good monitor for someone who wants a gaming monitor and a good productivity monitor. Probably not as good for pure gaming as say the PG42UQ, but potentially pretty close and with better pixel density and text clarity. And probably as small as you can get (not that 38 is small) and still comfortably run at 4k with no scaling.

Not an OLED. Which is why I want it reviewed.
