My work Thinkpad had Intel HD620 graphics, so I need to use the PBP mode with one HDMI and one USB-C to DisplayPort cable to do work on it (HD620 won't recognize the 5120 pixel wide horizontal resolution, and I think 630 may be the same way from what I've read). Only had two issues so far, and niether one is necessarily related to the monitor:
The first issue I've had is that the 6 foot Cable Matters USB-C to DP cable kept causing the screen to constantly flash a "check the cable connection" error in PBP mode, which is odd because the 3 foot cable didn't do this.
Ended up getting the 2M version of this cable and it's working for me, but YMMV: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&
The 3 foot Cable Matters cable was this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&
For gaming, I'm torturing my Zephyrus G14 (14" laptop with 4900HS and 2060 Max-Q) until I can get a proper desktop. Even so, I've been able to get 60FPS in Wreckfest with high settings at 5120x1440p and 35 FPS on The Crew 2 with high settings and 5120x1440p. Had to open the laptop to 120 degrees and put on "Turbo" fan profile in Armoury Crate, but still a serviceable enough experience (for some games) for now while I try to wait out the GPU shortage.
The second issue I'm having is the G14 won't let me output in 5120x1440 unless my laptop screen is also on. If I choose to display only to the monitor then it switches to 1920x1080 with black bars. So the above-mentioned performance is with the laptop also showing some additional pixels of desktop, although I'm unsure how much of a performance hit that is.
I was worried about the curve being too much for work but if anything I kind of think I could have dealt with an even steeper curve, and I'm definitely glad I didn't get a 3800R curve panel from one of the other manufacturers. I work mostly with speadsheets and various modeling software and haven't had any issue reading text. That said, I'd probably want to actually see a 1000R G9 in person before I'd commit to going to more of a curve,

I swear I saw a $100 cash back offer on the Amazon page on Prime Day, likely a targeted deal or an acid flashback. Did anyone else see the extra incentive? I was signed into my account so I doubt it was a credit card offer or similar.

I can confirm, the popping noise is present for a few minutes after turning this monitor on each morning. Nothing crazy, but it's noticeable. Other than that, it looks great and I love the real estate. Would recommend.
