From the Newegg reviews:
"With most OLED products, the screen dims as the dimensions of white space increases (e.g. if you go from a small white window and expand it to full screen, the entire screen dims). Auto-dimming can be annoying at times / It's way too aggressive
This guy from the Newegg review explained it the best:
"Auto dimming of the panel due to lack of major activity (ASBL) kicks in after 5 minutes on the Display Port and after only 90 seconds on HDMI ports. The Display Port also seems to have higher sensitivity to activity than the HDMI ports. This means that if you're running on Display Port, you probably won't notice it much but if you use the HDMI port, it's UNBEARABLE! I use both ports, one for work computer, one for home computer, then use the KVM feature.
ASBL (auto dimming due to low activity) is like a built-in firmware screen saver. It's there because OLEDs have the same potential for burn-in as old CRT monitors. The reason why this is a problem is because it needs a major change on the screen to make it think that that you're still there. So things like scrolling forum posts or typing an email are not enough of a change for it to know that you're still there and it'll start dimming the screen until you can't see it anymore, WHILE YOU'RE TYPING! It's even dimmed on me while on video conference calls. Even though the person is moving and talking, they're apparently not moving enough to prevent ASBL (this is using the HDMI port).
ASBL is unnecessary on a monitor because computers have built-in screen saver and power saving functions. My laptop has an OLED screen and it doesn't have ASBL, I've been using that for years with no burn in. This is an unnecessary old precaution that can safely be eliminated, imo.
The fact that the Display Port has a different ASBL algorithm than the HDMI port shows that not a lot of effort has gone into the firmware development or QA yet. I mean, if they don't want to give us the ability to disable ASBL, at least copy paste the Display Port config to the HDMI ports in a firmware update."

Linus, a man who has access to pretty much any hardware he would want, loves the monitor and is keeping it as his main home monitor. But if you don't care about his opinion you can jump to 6:43 where he demos the ASBL issue. It's really not that bad. People will complain about anything.
