The biggest drawbacks in my opinion are the viewing angle color shift and the reflection handling, but weighed against the other benefits, I'm totally satisfied. If this monitor was not curved, it would be worse on its viewing angles, so I'd call it necessary, but I wish that it's vertical color shift was less noticeable on the desktop because it's so large that I can see the difference from my midpoint to the top and bottom, and the glossy coating can add to that a little bit.
I leave the monitor in auto HDR mode most of the time and I can tell when it's doing its thing on explorer windows and stuff, but its still totally usable in that mode. You can turn it off in around 5 seconds in the OSD menu. Oh yeah, and the stand is bafflingly wobbly when jarred or using the menu. Anyway, for the money I don't think this can be beat and it gives me the HDR quality I want for my gaming into the future as these various panel technologies advance. Ask me anything.
note: I have not seen any sign of flickering as others are mentioning in this thread. none.

That was the G7 I think.

Fantastic. The color volume is wider, the contrast ratio is immensely better, text and UI elements are sharper, HDR enabled brightness that peaks around 1000 nits is really punchy compared to something like 400 nits max previously, black uniformity is incredibly better due to the full array local dimming versus edge lit backlight so dark scenes dont have that crappy uneven IPS glow. All while being physically larger and therefore more immersive. No regrets.
here's my previous monitor, which was $550 back in 2018 when I bought it: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/re...1hu-bmiprz
I'm probably also going to stick with nvidia, but its great to have the option to use Adaptive sync on either amd or them with this monitor, compared to my old one which was gsync only.
I know that OLED can't be beat in other ways that are important; like instantaneous pixel response, actually infinite contrast due to per-pixel dimming versus 1196 zones, and viewing angles. OLED also has drawbacks like potential for burn in, inferior sub-pixel arrangements for text and UI elements for PC use (the latest panel tech out this year has some improvements here though), lower peak brightness which makes HDR less impactful at times, and very high prices.
