I got this monitor today and I have to say that it is really nice (also did a great job of adding to my setup). It worked without any problems, the HDR works well and the picture is fantastic on it. The only downside is that I have a little light bleed on the left side of the screen (picture included, nothing that would deter me from using it or cause me irritation I just thought it was worth mentioning (but I will update if it gets worse or other issues arise). Other than that no issues, not a dead pixel or anything else.! Update 1: The light bleed was gone the next day and I haven't seen it since. A little strange but I am not complaining.!! Update 2: The light bleed I had when I first go the monitor (you can see the picture included) is completely gone and I have not seen it after the 2nd day of use, so give it a couple days to make sure it doesn't just disappear.I got this monitor because I do a lot of 3d modeling and photoshop work. So far I have done some drawings in photoshop and not a single complaint. I will update my review as I use it more.! Update 1: I decided to give gaming a try with this monitor and while it is the first 4k monitor that I have owned. It was fantastic, I even got to use the HDR in THPS1 and it took the visuals to another level. But I will say if you find games with HDR capability, at least with the one I tested it took some fiddling with the settings to get it looking right.!! Update 2: The gaming performance is amazing, HDR gaming is spot on and the detail is generally unreal (I only used a 2k monitor for about 6 months before getting this and prior to that I was using 1080p. So leaps and bounds better. As for modeling with Maya, it works amazingly (a little laggy, I think doing all that work on much more pixels takes more work from my pc, but it isn't anything horrible. Just keep in mind to keep off any "effects" (ambient occlusion, motion blur, etc.) if you are animating to make sure that it plays smoothly, unless you have an epic system.Pros:- Great screen- HDR works well- Not a single dead picture- Beautiful 4k gaming and HDR support for games that offer it.-Beautiful for animating in Maya.-Beautiful for working on drawing in PhotoshopCons:- A small amount of light bleed off of the bezel ***Gone after a day or 2***Unknowns:- Color Accuracy (I am planning on trying color correcting in a couple months when I get a calibrator to get an idea of how close everything is.)

Recently I upgraded my PC to something capable of outputting a 4K image, and I've been wanting to buy a 4K monitor for a while. My previous monitor was a Samsung 23" 1920x1080 monitor. I do occasional photo editing, which I figured the 4K resolution would be good for (as well as the additional screen space). I also like to play PC games occasionally. After reading some reviews, I decided to splurge a bit and buy this monitor, and I'm not disappointed.Some things I like about this monitor:- The picture quality is excellent. It is bright and looks clear and sharp. Colors are well-defined. I've only used the 4K for a few days so far, but with some photos, I feel like I could stare at them for a while and marvel at how good they look. My photos look nice on this display, and I also downloaded some 4K desktop wallpaper that just look great. Even though this is a PC monitor that isn't as big as a 4K TV, you can still see the detail in images, and it looks great.- It can connect to a USB type-C port on the PC and has a couple of USB ports on the back of the monitor. I didn't really think this was necessary and didn't really need it, but this is a nice feature. The monitor's USB ports would be useful for plugging in a webcam, for example, so that the USB cable doesn't have to go all the way to the back of the PC case. Or perhaps a USB printer or any other device that is located closer to the monitor than the PC case.- Good size for a PC monitor. It's bigger than my older 23" monitor, but it still fits on my computer desk at a good distance from my eyes and good level (after some re-organizing of my desk) for me to see it well.- It has built-in speakers, so it can be used as an audio output device if desired.Also, the stand lets you move the monitor up or down.One thing I was worried about was having dead pixels, but mine doesn't have any dead pixels that I can see. Overall I think this is a great monitor, and I'll enjoy using it.
