Amazon reviews are scary with this monitor.

Great deal, otherwise, if you're okay with the numerous potential issues.
According to this reddit post, this monitor still has unfixed issues.
Also I'd guess the random loss of signal reviews are because of cable quality, I wonder if the included cable just sucks or if people are using their own cables because 4K at 160HZ is a lot of bandwidth. You need to use a quality cable that is as short as it can be, if it needs to be over 6' I'd look for a fiber HDMI or fiber DP cable that is rated for the bandwidth.
Sadly it looks like the overall QC on this monitor isn't that great, with reviews about dead pixels & the backlight completely failing.
It's temping though at that price, might get lucky & get a good unit, but there is also the risk of it just wasting time having to deal with support or do a return.
How did rtings rate it so highly?
Not to mention that, looking through Reddit threads, Amazon reviews, and Cooler Master's warranty policy page, customers have to pay return shipping to Cooler Master for warranty repairs. For as large an item as this monitor, those costs add up super fast and erode the potential value of this deal.
