OK, I very much wanted to like this monitor, it has a few pretty awesome things going for it: +refresh rate/resolution is great (on an nvidia card, cant say anything about Freesync) +colors were great after using Windows calibration tool +HDR if/when it works (which is a PRETTY big if due to shoddy Windows 10 HDR) is stunning when implemented correctly in a game. Assassins Creed Origins looked very nice, Destiny 2 looked nice, but Far Cry 5 was a mess because you cant control peak luminance in that game (more on that in a moment). MY MAIN ISSUE with this monitor is the panel quality. It just looks plastic and smudgy, and when viewing a solid gradient (such as the blue sky in AC Origins or just the white of Windows 10) I can see a thin layer above the image. I have no idea if this is an error in the anti glare coating or if Im just not used to VA panels (looking closely at my LG IPS panel I do not notice panel above the image). Although I think HDR is a very cool feature this monitor cant reach the peak luminance of most HDR TVs. The contrast is pretty good on this monitor, definitely a little bit better than my LG IPS monitor, but nothing compared to HDR Ive seen on modern TVs. Plasticky panel + meh peak luminance for HDR led me to returning this monitor.
