I'm happy with mine too. It has a few upsides that don't get written about often, compared to other monitors: - Apple is extremely picky about panel QC, making things like dead pixels and patchy backlights much less common - Its design practically eliminates the backlight bleed that's common with other monitors due to variances in bezel/panel fastener tightness - No coil whine (surprisingly common even in other high end monitors) - Some of the best glossy antiglare treatment I've seen, without the "gritty" coating that can cause a "sparkle" effect that's common on Dell monitors - It wakes up and displays a picture almost instantly It's not perfect and I'd prefer better specs for the money, but it's not a bad monitor. I've tested models that are more expensive than the Studio Display that fail to check some of these boxes.

The biggest problem with it, frankly, is the occasional requirement for a full hard reboot, but no controls relating to that. When I was using a Studio Display, the UPS outlets were in a place that required as much as 45 seconds of effort to get to, and I while that was a real annoyance to me, it was only while typing this out that I realized that no one will see this as any kind of inconvenience. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  Thankfully, I’ve not run into that issue, at least not with any frequency. Might’ve happened once in a year and change, and I can’t remember clearly if even that actually happened.

Everything you list is basically part of any display that is not bottom of the barrel. Yes, it's a very good monitor but it would be crazy otherwise considering the price. And it has one fatal flaw: you can only connect to it with USBC/Thunderbolt making it an almost Apple only monitor which is extremely annoying in the long run...
