OLD(scoll down and read "Further update") -As you can see, the glow in the bottom left corner is horrible and honestly isn't acceptable for a $700 monitor. Even after contacting Gigabyte they were 0% helpful and gave me the typical crap about how that glow is normal. Sorry Gigabyte, but I've tried everything and the glow shouldn't be this bad AT ALL times at 25% brightness and in my office with my light on. For someone who had countless Gigabyte products in my PC, from my MB to my 1080Ti, I would have expected a little more help or respect.Edit: Amazon came through and sent me a replacement monitor free of charge. It still has an issue with the bottom left, but all round this one turned out a bit better. I have nothing on the right side anymore, but the bottom left still has this weird glare and blacks look like a really dark gray which is a little off putting visually, but it's still better than the first one I got. I bumped my review up to 3 stars because of Amazon, but I'm still docking 1 star for Gigabytes poor approach to this, and 1 star for the fact that for the amount this monitor costs, it should have next to no glow, and honestly... shouldn't really have any when you look at the IPS tv's that have amazing blacks and no glow.Further update:I wanted to give a more up to date review after getting the new one since my original "Edit" was right after I got the new one and only tested for a bit and was still extremely irritated with Gigabytes approach needless to say when I tried reaching out to them and all they gave me was a Lim's Cave article about IPS glow and how to minimize which I was already well aware of and made sure to try everything I could BEFORE reaching out to both Gigabyte and Amazon for support.The new monitor did turn out much better than the one I originally got, but I will say I think this monitor does have an issue with the bottom left corner because I'm seeing several other people mentioning the same thing with this model. All in all though, this has been a good upgrade over my Asus VG248QE, which in of itself was an awesome monitor for gaming when I originally got it 6 years ago, but since I'm a web developer now I kind of wanted to go beyond a TN and use something that's still great for gaming, but I can use for work when I work from home.I'll add some updated images, but I would recommend to take them with a grain of salt since a phone is trying to capture as much light as possible, it can tend to be exaggerated. It still doesn't change the fact that you'll notice the bottom left with your own eyes on black or dark scenes, but it looks more like a glare, like when the sun is glaring on your screen, but I'll still say though that the color representations on this monitor compared to the 4k Dell I use at work and my old Asus TN are light years better, and text is easier to read once you fine tune it a couple times to your liking.When it comes to getting a new montior, I always expect to need to fine tune it for a bit and generally set a couple hours aside to get it just how I like it, but with that being said I will still share my specs in case someone wants to replicate and see if it's where they like it.My personal preference so far is:Download the OSD Sidekick from Gigabyte -I have "Super Resolution" set to 1Picture is set to "FPS" which the followingBrightness - 50 (I lower sometimes if I turn my light off, which I rarely do though)Contrast - 45Sharpness - 5Black EQ - 0Color Vibrance - 11, 12 starts to seem too much on reds in particular for meLow Blue Light - 0 (I don't change this since I use my laptop when laying down and I use settings on it)I use Gamma 1Color temp is set to "User Defined" and I useR: 90 G: 85 B: 98Dynamic Contrast is 2And of course, make sure you're using a display port cable in my honest opinion.All and all, as long as you get a good panel, this is a great monitor in it's own rights. The build quality is definitely top notch with nearly the whole stand being metal, so it's extremely sturdy. I do wish the LEDs on the back were brighter because you only somewhat notice them if your light is off, but either way.. Thanks to Amazon I have been happier with my purchase. Probably one of the many reasons I left Newegg years ago.Image details: I'm posting two new ones with the light on and the light off, and the light off has my TN to the side with the same glow test pulled up to show you the difference, so as you'll see, the blacks are still better on the IPS. Like I said, still take it with a grain of salt because the camera does slightly exaggerate it all, but I tried to minimize the light intake as much as my phone would allow to accurately represent what you'll see visually yourself.
