High quality panel, almost no backlight bleed
If you're debating between this and a 4k monitor, I would go with this for playing fast paced action games especially FPS games. ULMB is also great for playing older style 2D games with virtually no motion blur similar to a CRT monitor. Though the brightness is a bit dark when ULMB is turned on. If you play more slower paced games like RPGs, you'll want a 4k monitor instead.

Gaming Monitor
Great gaming monitor though expensive. Very high refresh rate. Screen broke during extended warranty so I was able to return for full refund. Good thing I brought the extended warranty.

It's Great
This is my second g sync monitor. First was a Dell S2417dg. Compared to the Dell the bezels are a lot bigger, I prefer the look of the Dell over this one. However, the IPS panel is a lot better. Colors look great. No need for a ICC profile with this monitor. It overclocked to 165hz no problem. I have pretty much no light bleed. Some IPS glow on the bottom right but in real world use and gaming its not a problem at all. No stuck or dead pixels. And the bigger size is a plus as well over the Dell.
