BenQ MA270S Vignetting

The LG 5k monitor 27MD5KL also doesn't have any vignetting and it has the same panel as the apple studio display 1. It can also usually be found used for around $400-600.

Using the LG 27” 5K monitor 27MD5KL-B. Thing is amazing, but it does not swivel to portrait mode, had to buy a vesa adapter. It’s DCI-P3 99%.
