The monitor has great colors. Games very nicely. Slight blurring on UFO test, with bit more blurring with the darker background. I was surprised to see that it is a 10 bit color panel, not sure if true 10 bit or 8 bit + FRC (Edit: NVidia Control Panel only allowed me to set 8 bit color. 10-bit color was in the drop down, but I could not get the setting to apply). No signs of light bleed. Uniformity is ok, not impressive. About average for these large panels. The only issue I have with it is that blacks are so dark. On black level adjustment at 2.0 gamma, the 1-4 boxes are indiscernible. Going to 1.8 gamma would correct that, but everything appears more washed out. Since my eyes are light sensitive, I keep the panel darker than most I think. Probably not an issue for most. Freesync seems to work smoother with AMD cards than NVidia at lower frame rates. (Edit 6/13/2019: Definite stutter with a 1080ti while its very smooth with AMD. Some games are ok, and others definite stutter, even though better frame rate on nvidia. Deduct full star for the slightly but consistently stuttering NVidia usage). Part of original review: The first monitor showed up with zero dead pixels, then developed one or two over the course of the first 1.5 days of usage. The second monitor had two dead right of the box and the box is a bit damaged. A bit disappointing. ViewSonic support from comments exchanged it for a new monitor, which has zero pixels, and is great. At this point, not sure I would get a monitor again through Amazon. As the box for the second monitor had some damage.
