Locked brightness with local dimming enabled. Eye-piercingly bright. Horrible ghosting and bad response time compared to previous model. Want to return but just barely passed my return window.

Prefer the older G3

There's 2 major flaws. Enabling local dimming on this forces maximum brightness. Medium dimming has way too much backlight it's brighter then the G3 on lowest local dimming so there's no point in anything less then full dimming on this one. If you want something for mixed productivity and media you're going to have to get used to manually turning dimming on and off. This isn't like the G3 where i set and forget on medium dimming....... The higher native contrast rating on this and increased color gamut does show on medium and bright content as it's able to illuminate now details by tepresenting different shades of lighter colors better but I find that my older G3 beats this newer G40 for darker scenes simply because the G3 gives those darker details more light to be seen without washing it out with too much backlight. I was hyped for this G40 to actually do better in the dark with the increased dimming zones by illuminating those details with a little more precision.

colors and brightness are very good especially compared to my last monitor, very quick and easy to setup on a vesa stand, so I cant comment on the included stand. Quick and easy to setup in settings, though the buttons are awkward and difficult to navigate.

Pros: Huge upgrade to my current monitor, Had a 1080p 180hz monitor. I would say you will need to turn down the brightness because the monitor is very bright.
Cons: I am not a huge monitor enthusiast but I can tell when something is good or bad. This monitor doesn't have any flaws to my knowledge.
