I had a 32" IPS panel a while back that was decent until the dead pixels started showing up after about 2 months of use.

That's not a stellar recommendation.

Correct. I haven't even thought about getting one of their monitors since then. They did offer to RMA it, but I sold it off instead.

I "had" a MAG 30-inch that worked well for what it was. Unfortunately, while replacing the window blinds in the cave a couple of weeks ago there was an incident with something falling on the monitor arm that caused it to smash into my receiver. No physical damage is to be seen but when turned on you can tell it's toast.

Otherwise, it was a decent monitor for what it was, a $300-ish 30-inch 21:9 1080 HDR400 G-Sync 200 Hz. It was my only experiment with an HDR-Ready/400 display and my biggest complaint is that even in a dark room it was too dim. Otherwise, I was plenty happy with it. That does remind though that I still stand by what I've said before in that you really need at least ~1000 nits to enjoy HDR, 600 might be the bare minimum, but all these HDR-ready/400 displays don't really have enough brightness to make a difference for HDR. The C2/C9 and Z9D all have proven that to me.
