Then I looked through the viewfinder. Tolerable at best. No dynamic range to the image at all. Everything looked like a cyber nightmare.

This is something what I do not understand. Such a modern EVF should not be inferior to any good PC monitor.

Why not? There are two main differences:

- miniaturization, we have tiny EVF screens with 3-4 million dots (in comparison, a 4K screen has about 8 millions pixels, on an incomparably larger area)

- viewing conditions, with the EVF the only light is the backlight's

and that's at the most superficial glance.

The first might very well impact DR.
