Also when you make your next video, can you specifically show how to take it apart? I have been trying and I can’t figure out how to separate the front from the back without breaking it.

I have 2 of the XPs and they are absolutely amazing! Strange geometry on both though. While the PQ is better than my 3230,2950 and 2530 PVMs, those monitors have better grid patterns until going out to the edges. The NECs have slight warping throughout the middle. Noticeable on fast scrolling games. Every picture I’ve seven of one has the same thing. Very hard to dial it it in with the remote. Also the picture settings don’t have numbers which makes it challenging to setup as well. Other than that, fantastic monitors that I will never part with. Looking forward to the next video!
