Had mine for several days now and I have to say over all its a step up from the Dell u2311 I have picture quality wise which frankly it had better be for the price. I have no stuck or dead pixels, little to no back light bleed and 144hz is just awesome even in Windows. The colors after calibrating with my i1 Dispaly pro are more accurate than the dell too. I also didn't have dust inside or flickering like some have reported. But the fit and finish is two or three notches below the dell. The plastic feels cheap and creeky as do the buttons. Speaking of buttons the left and right buttons are opposite of what the OSD shows. The button under the left pointing arrow on the OSD moves the brightness bar for example to the right and increases the brightness. Opposite of what 99% of people would think the button under the left arrow would do. I thought surely it had to be a defect with mine but I see other people saying the same. It's a silly mistake that makes the whole monitor feel amateurish and unfinished.
The monitor adjustments are also wonky. It rotates stiff but relatively easily but tiling up or down requires so much force it feels like I will bend the panel itself. I actually looked for some kind of release or something for the titling. That's how hard it was. If I don't hold down the stand the whole monitor will tip off the back of my desk instead of tilting. It's crazy. On the pivot point on the stand is also an extremely cheap plastic covering that rattles lose and moves around. It feels like it belongs on a sub $100 monitor not one with an MSRP of $499. Honestly it would have been better to just leave the bare metal.

josh8855Would you be able to share what settings you've got calibrated? I can't seem to find any websites that have done a review of this monitor and given color calibration settings, and I've been looking to get my display looking as good as possible. I'd appreciate it!

CrigaasSharing calibration settings is almost useless. Every panel has variations and requires individual calibration to be correct. People do it online all of the time with monitors and TVs but it seems many don't realize doing so can actually increase deviation depending on the quality of factory calibration. Also, there's a good chance he also profiled the monitor so not only has he calibrated it, he's also running an ICC profile.

Crigaas If you want accurate colors, or as close as you can get with a panel like this anyway, you need to calibrate it with an i1 display pro, Spyder 5, ect that will measure the colors, compare them to known values and then generate an ICC profile with the corrections. Just sharing the settings I have the monitor on would do you no good and might even decrease the accuracy of the colors on yours.
