the pixel density was a little higher
color temp mode reduces brightness by almost half and skews gamma unacceptably
doesn't have a standard sRGB mode
renders the image either very dark or very washed out
its adjustments are very coarse
wobble when accidentally nudged or moved
the display doesn't support G-Sync
screen-tearing and ghosting
there are no RGB lightings in the panel itself
pumping that 1080p resolution through a 27-inch panel
poor viewing angles
flicker-free screen and a built-in low blue light filter
it takes longer for the pixels to change into lighter shades
smearing and ghosting of fast-moving objects
Headphone jack was a bit shaky
adjusting the colours is a pain but

No cherry-picked units sent by brands
The stand has a limited range of motion
it feels a bit flimsy
it faces some steep competition in the same price range
