I tested out this cheap 5K monitor - and for the price, I have to wonder, what's the catch?

A 5K display for under €700 - the problem is, it's only available in Europe

JapanNext 5K: 30-second review
As the brand name implies, JapanNext is a Japanese company based in Tokyo, with offices in the "electric city" district of Akihabara, and its product development located in Isumi, part of Chiba Prefecture.
A successful brand in Japan, JapanNext started to expand into Europe two years ago, with offices in Paris and Bordeaux.
Offering a wide range of monitors, including 4K UHD, curved, ultra-wide, portable and business-friendly designs.

The JN-IPS275K-HSPC9 is a 27-inch 5K design with an integrated support arm that allows the monitor to easily switch between landscape and portrait orientation and vertical and screen angle adjustments.
Using IPS technology, this is most likely the same panel that I previously saw on the Alogic Clarity 27” Touch 5K, but in this context, there are no touch controls, and this monitor has only a single HDMI input.
However, at under 700 Euros, this is also a much cheaper option that delivers similar colour accuracy, resolution, PIP and excellent viewing angles.
