- In some games (e.g., Battlefield 1) playing over Display Port at various refresh rates, including 60Hz, I'd get 2 second blank screens frequently. It's impossible to play FPS games when the screen blacks out for 2 seconds. Strangely enough, it almost never happens in Call of Duty games. However, I have an old graphics card (RX 570 4GB) and it may not have DP1.4 as the monitor requires… so perhaps that's the real problem. (I think it was also happening over HDMI but not as often… can check my notes to be sure, if anyone would find it helpful.)
- I'm not sure why, but very rarely the primary display (where Windows shows it's login screen) would just stay black when power cycling the machine. I'd have to unplug+plug the power cable from the monitor to get an image again (pressing the power button wasn't enough). This has only happened a handful of times in the last 6 months. Again, perhaps it has something to do with my old graphics card… but more likely it's something in the monitor's firmware.
- One of the monitors has a slight green tint along the bottom 1 inch of screen, but it's subtle on light colored windows/backgrounds and invisible on dark colors. I use this as my secondary display for YouTube, etc. and don't notice it anymore.
- Text clarity is not as great as I'd like, but I got used to it and stopped being bothered by it after about a week. I think this is partially just the result of the monitor being so bright (I usually have them at 80% brightness), which makes the font smoothing more noticeable. Most people probably won't have an issue with this.
In my years of ordering monitors, Dell and LG seem to have the best quality control. I have yet to receive one with dead/stuck pixels or significant IPS glow. This is a solid deal in my book and Dell has one of the best warranties for monitors.
