VESA mounts on the back for an arm
Some shades appear quite a bit deeper than intended
oversaturation is not as extreme as on some wide gamut models
poor distinction for very dark shades
Selected Display is not validated as G-SYNC Compatible
Slight yellowish green tint due to green channel remaining strong

lack of USB-C connectivity
they are just a little disappointing given the on-paper specifications

It is not aimed at gamers
Not built-in USB hub or SD card reader
No SD card reader or USB connectors
details disappear completely as soon as you turn on the light switch
do not use it for image calibration
HDR is just annoying to anything other than video on a Windows PC
the screen is a bit too dim at this setting
Missing are advanced color settings
Middling gray-scale performance
skewed greens do not translate to green tinting or heavy green saturation
struggled with the very lightest and darkest shades
gamma is too high
overly complicated or tough to navigate
none of these panels excel when it comes to contrast
the plastic feels a bit cheap
