As I've described in my previous review, NEC PA311D is an excellent monitor, with great out of the box performance.
One thing I found over time can be improved with proper tuning is the HDR handling.

I am a professional software developer, who also a gamer. I want a monitor which just does a job of displaying images correctly - I also have background in graphics programming so I have a keen eye.
But for some reason it was really hard to get one recently.
10 years ago, I had a Dell Ultrasharp monitor which had no
issues whatsoever. However, eventually it got somewhat dated and I thought “its
time to upgrade”. So, I’ve tried these new & shiny “gaming monitors” with
all these new bells & whistles (and I’ve actually bought 3 different ones, and
pricier ones). To cut it short, they all had issues in one form or another –
even while all these fancy feature boxes were ticked, but always at expense of
something else, or not working quite perfectly all the time.
Unsurprisingly, a lot of sellers from Asia are now looking at Amazon as good trading front for their business. While not being stereotypical and there are always exceptions, there are a awful lot of "cost effective goods" sellers here (read: awful goods when you truly get what you pay for).
