Asus has decided to get in on the action with a solidly built 32" model

clearly built to survive the test of time within an active studio environment

the Asus VG248QE (See it on Amazon) is a solidly built

a relatively robust construction

It can be used reliably in its fixed sRGB

NOT RELIABLE

narrow “infinity-edge” bezels look great - whereas rival monitors at this price often have thick plasticky bezels

my biggest complaint fell around the build quality of the stand

Careful about damage

Of course in the long term that might be a design flaw as connection pins etc might get more easily damaged

Makes tasty bread from scratch (as long as you follow the exact ingredients as specified in the instruction book recipes) or use your own recipe

the worst reliability
