Edited: was 3 stars at first as was hoping that I had wrong settings, but no. This is not a good monitor, and seller was terrible with return. I would never buy this again, simply because it was a nightmare to return.
Seller and online review sites say this is g-sync compatible, it's not. I get crazy flickering with it on, and constant low-level flickering when off. Kept thinking I saw something in corner of eye, and I confirmed it later on. It might be just fine with freesync/AMD GPUs, but I can confirm it's not if you don't have this.
VA panels are meant to have bad viewing angles, and this is curved. But I don't think it is that bad at all. Reviews on youtube say great colour spectrum coverage, but misses some greens. I think the greens are fine, and the black uniformity is great! No ghosting, but room lights off, with a black screen shoes a lot of bleeding. This can vary with models.
Glare seems to be a major issue with this. I swear I saw on video reviews that it's meant have an anti-glare panel coating or something, but I am asking customer support if is true. Either way, I cannot have any natural light, and have to have as many lights turned off as possible. Bright scenes it's not as bad, but dark scenes are hard to make out anything over the damn glare.
As for controls and functionality, I hate the control button so much. I have no idea what most of the settings do, and Gigabyte offers zero clues in the instruction manual. Which comprises of a couple pages telling you how to use a screwdriver for the stand, as if that is big brain stuff. It has a single crosshairs reticle overlay, which is less than my old monitor, and you cannot adjust it up or down. It can't shift by itself off-centre like my old one, but I also cannot adjust for distance like my old one. Worse is the power button. It doesn't have one! You have to click the joystick button on the side and the swipe down to power off. And if your PC turns off before you have turned off your monitor, you will have to turn the PC back on so you can turn off the monitor. Otherwise it will go on standby. I hate having to do a stupid ritual every time I shut down.
Is this the cheapest? No. But it came up as the best monitor that doesn't have a local dimming feature, and it is probably decent for AMD GPUs. Main negatives are, power button, limited Crosshair overlay, and bad glare.
If you want a 4k true G-sync compatible monitor, and don't mind local dimming, go Samsung G7. I've got a G7 and it has over 1000 local dimming points, over the industry standard 5-10, which is insane and gets past 80% of the negatives of local dimming. Bit costly, but it's the best for G-sync 4k.
