I just got this monitor yesterday afternoon. I was transitioning from an Acer 1440p 144hz TN panel and was looking to make the jump into ultrawides. The monitor looks really nice, not too "gamer" like some of the other ridiculous looking monitors out (Asus). The picture looked pretty good right out of the box, but the brightness definitely need to come down for me. The back RGB ring is pretty nice and bright, and I actually ended up really liking it for bias lighting. Colors are very bold, reds were noticeably redder but not a huge deal. It looked pretty good overall though with ZERO dead/stuck pixels. 120hz OC worked no problem with no flickers, scan-lines, artifacting, etc... Maybe its because Im not used to IPS glow, but when I booted up the new Resident Evil 2 I realized that blacks are basically gray, and then I started to notice the entire left side of the screen is considerably brighter than the right side no matter how I adjusted my head. I started to notice the uneven brightness on the desktop and while watching movies too. It was extremely distracting, and for a $1k monitor I will be sending it back unfortunately. The G-Sync version is gimped at 120hz compared to the 144hz F model due to G-Sync module limitations, but I didnt notice the drop from 144 to 120 at all. There is no sRGB mode, and there is also no HDR mode which the F version has. None of that bothered me though since HDR is almost pointless on edge lit displays anyways right now. TFT Central has a wonderful review and comparison of both models you should check out as well. Edit: I added a picture I took with the monitor turned on but not hooked up to the PC. I know cell phone cameras showing IPS glow/blb are super exaggerated, but it does give you an idea as to how uneven each side is.
