Shipped through Fedex with signature required, arrived much earlier than expected. The monitor was definitely perfectly as new.
The monitor is very light, in fact it is so light that it can’t be balanced with my current monitor arm. This is very unusual for a high end monitor especially with such good physical build quality.
Backlight bleed was noticeable when displaying total black but not nearly as bad as most reports. Perfectly livable and not noticeable at all in games or in general usage. The display is bright and contrast is excellent for an LCD. The colors are brilliant.
Activating ELMB, this monitor's ULMB system, reduces brightness substantially but is worth it in games. No persistence blur at all with it active. With ULMB active it’s about the same total brightness as my previous TN panel monitor but it keeps IPS's far deeper blacks, contrast, and color. It’s easy to switch back and forth as needed.
This was probably the worst calibrated monitor I’ve ever seen out of the box. Color, saturation, contrast, and brightness were all way off and none of the presets were any good. At first the colors were extremely oversaturated and the image was blown out both to the point my game looked like an abstract art piece. Once recalibrated by hand it looks incredible, but you should expect to spend a lot of time fiddling with settings. This was made easier by an intuitive menu and great physical buttons.
Please note this is not a true G-Sync monitor as claimed but a G-Sync Compatible monitor. These are identical with the exception of the fact that this monitor’s G-Sync will not function with older Nvidia 900 series graphics cards or earlier, only 1000 and later.

Reviews with images
Great value
In full disclosure, it came with a dead pixel almost dead center. ASUS does have a dead pixel return policy, but one doesn’t rise to the level of replacement. While disappointed with this, I still give it 5 stars for everything else... and honestly, I don’t notice the pixel anymore.
