@snazzyq @caseyliss I ordered the Hagibis one and did the firmware update and it seems perfect. Out of the box it had color banding and HDR issues but it seems they released another update fixing the issues that are in that Reddit post.

And it’s also, broadly, very right about what tech has become.
Never Forgive Them
In the last year, I’ve spent about 200,000 words on a kind of personal journey where I’ve tried again and again to work out why everything digital feels so broken, and why it seems to keep getting worse, despite what tech’s “brightest” minds might promise. More
