Samsung TU872 Series 32" 4K UHD Monitor

I was looking for a 32 inch monitor with support for Thunderbolt 3. As most T3 monitors are very expensive, I decided to give this one a whirl. First, the T3 ports are tight enough to grip the Thunderbolt cable connectors without slipping out. Second, I have a couple other monitors on the work bench here (one being the built-in for a 2019 MacBook Pro 16); in order to get this monitor to be as bright as the other two I finally had to turn Game Mode to Always On, which disables a few of the other slide controls for the monitor. Otherwise the monitor just isn't bright enough for my needs, no matter what the other slide controls were set to. Third, the color quality is reasonable tho just a tetch washed out from the backlighting. Fourth, the T3 daisy-chaining feature works, I have a dual SSD drive with T2 ports at the end of the T3 chain, and the backups happen at night without issues, but about this I have a caveat: when you design a monitor that has Thunderbolt support, you have to consider what else user might hook up to it besides a second monitor, and allow user to turn off the display part without powering the whole Thunderbolt chain down with it. Right? Meanwhile I just set a blank screen saver to start after five minutes, causing the screens to go as black as possible -- but the backlights still glow. What else? I use the VESA mount for the monitor and have set aside the stand that comes with the monitor. The stand works fine, by the way. I did pick up a color calibrator and used it to adjust the display profile. Would I buy a second one? Yes, altho I have not yet done so. It is an adequate monitor for developing code (I am not developing color-accurate work product), the only thing that really bugged me is the brightness. Features I did not play with: PiP I do play Warcraft with this thing, seems to work fine at 60Hz. Addendum on 2021-05-24: I bought a second one of these as a refurb. Jury still out. One thing I belatedly noticed: the screen becomes much brighter (and the refresh rate jumps from 30Hz to 60Hz) when you uncheck High Dynamic Range under Apple macOS System Preferences>Displays while running Big Sur.
