I went through FOUR other monitors and this is my fifth and sixth. Tried two Pixios and two Acers and they all had problems (dead pixels, scrambled video, losing signal). I sucked it up and put a little more money into this Asus and guess what? DEAD PIXEL. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH $400-$550 MONITORS! Just got the second Asus and so far, so good. Aside from that, I was happy with it. Most of the presets gave me weird contrast ghosting and really brought out the compression artifacting in compressed images and I was getting irritated that I couldnt get rid of it. Found these settings on reddit and they really do seem to give me the best results: Game Visual: Cinema Mode (unlocks all settings, has best contrast) Blue Light Filter: 0 (after changing you might need to set "mode" back to Cinema) Color: - Brightness: 75 (your preference, 80 was looking a bit harsh after a while in my dim room.) - Contrast: 80 - Saturation: 46 - Skin Tone: Natural - Color temp: user. [R: 100] [G: 96] [B: 96] Image: - Sharpness: 50 - TraceFree: 80 - VividPixel: 0 - ASCR: off Menu navigation is the best Ive seen on any monitor thanks to the joystick-like interface. Screen is bright and vibrant, lighting is very even - I dont see any splotches or wierd light bleed.
