    Critical

    A buyer pairing the monitor with a MacBook finds the panel shows a yellowish white balance compared to the laptop's true white and cannot fix it without third-party tools.

    Critical

    A PS5 Slim owner experiences intermittent unsupported-timing errors with the S2725QC over HDMI, needing HDCP 1.4, HDR off, and forced 60Hz to get a picture at all.
