Own this monitor, best monitor I've ever owned. With a 2070 the G-sync is great! And I'm coming from an Acer Predator with G-Sync also. Just be aware if you have VESA arm mounts, the monitor itself is fairly heavy so it made mine tilt and they weren't tight enough to hold the weight so I ended up using the stand, but the stand has a dope RGB backlight!

Any light bleed issues? I have the Ace Predator as well (IPS), slight light bleed at one corner...
I've had this for a little over a month now. 240hz is super nice, ymmv but I can notice a difference from 144hz when using the desktop. I went from 60hz to 240hz so I can't compare for gaming for 144hz, but 240 feels nice on games that allow it. Honestly less noticeable there since I'm focusing on something else.
The colors kept getting mentioned as "factory calibrated", but whatever that means I still am not too big on them. I had the LG27GL850 briefly and thought the colors on that looked better (but it had gsync problems so I avoided LG after that). Speaking of Gsync, gsync ultimate works great...I guess? I told myself this was a feature I really wanted but I don't think I've yet to really experience it's intended use. Perhaps be mindful of this when deciding.
Other than that no complaints. OSD easy to use albeit buttons in an awkward spot. It's pretty heavy and the stand is bulky. Even the monitor itself has bulk, with some "junk in the trunk". It protrudes out much more than my last monitor due to its size but I've gotten used to it.
