Johnny is a great seller!
3 years ago I bought his tilt only Apple Studio Display and it's been working great without AppleCare. Always on, secondary display to my iMac 27", it makes a difference having matching displays side by side. Packaging from him was great, fast shipping, followup, all you would want from a seller. I didn't want to leave feedback too soon, and then weeks became months and... years and now that listing is not searchable anymore.
The height makes a difference, and height adjustability. Stands look great in online stores but try adjusting the location on your table, best is having a small footprint from original stand. Is $400 price difference worth that? Sometimes. Now it would be to me.
I wish I was getting this display from him now, my tilt-only display just became a primary display for my new M4 Studio, and it's hard not having 2 displays, something I became used to.
My 2017 iMac i7, 4.2Ghz Intel, 64gb RAM, 1TB, finally became not enough hence the switch. It's available to sell, but hard to find a buyer who knows what it is but finds it enough for his needs. And I already have a 2012 iMac I use as simple task movie player mostly, 3 displays fit on the desk but not 4.

nice feedback and review of the product. let me ask, as you describe your experience, do you find an IPS 60hz panel limiting in 2026 in anyway? I see most modern displays are going toward high refresh rates and/or OLED and/or for very high brightness to hit Dolby Vision HDR specs. how relevant is that it does not hit 100% adobeRGB?

I had iMac 2012 since around 2012. Loved the 27" display. It did well, I still have it and use it as "side computer" for video watching as background video/sound.
In 2017 I bought iMac 2017 5K, the new primary. In 2023 with the Studio display being available I started using dual monitors. It would have been awkwardly possible with 2012 to be a secondary monitor, but dedicated is best.
I find Studio Display a matching monitor to iMac, I like the IPS glossy rich color. That's the short answer, I like the display and I want to use 2. LG and others make bigger displays, wider, more features, but not Mac specific which needs some setup, color calibration. Apple displays work from the box, can be calibrated if desired but work as is. I read how other displays work great, but fail after 2 weeks, months or a year or 2. In my experience my 2012 display hasn't failed and it has seen 14 years of use, at times 4-8hours straight, and more.
Reliability. If my 2012 still works, my 2017 and now my Studio Display from 2023 both work, without issues of displays, why would I switch to something that needs setup and may have issues (from many feedbacks), and warranty as well was not easy.
Even new, out of the box product experience, quality control, better with Apple products.
I had HD issues with 2012 and 2017 iMacs after 5+ years, HDs/SSDs were replaced but that's it. I liked the all in one iMacs but having to take the iMac for service sure made me appreciate the Studio setup (which I didn't have until recently) of separating display from the computer, my displays never broke yet had to be taken apart to get to the computer behind the screen.
My 2017 iMac now became my secondary display, display sharing is possible with newer OS setups, my iMac only has Ventura, Studio M4 has Tahoe. Not totally transpared but it can be just a display (like just a plugged in monitor would be), but so far it's easier for me to use as second computer (using 1 keyboard/mouse). Dual monitor Photoshop is not usually what I need, it would be possible and then the monitors are very close to each other for my use.
