Noticed the same thing but got used to it.
Cheers, noted. I'll Google the ICC profile.Don't use fast response setting on OSD menu.I have issue with ghosting when fast setting is selected.
Finally bought one, coming tomorrow ! Any information I need to know other than don't use the shipping setting's
If you get one of these then "disable deep monitor sleep" menu > other monitor deep sleep. Don't know if has been fixed, but I do remember if it was enabled it would not wake up!
For colour profiles look here http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/icc_profiles.htm
But since every panel can be different with colours I have Spyder 5 Pro and do mine every 6 months. So if you want invest in a monitor calibrator. You can get one for £90.
If you want my icm you can find it (here) done in May this year. But as I said every panel can be different. Anything is better than default setting though.
Its nice monitor but dam the price has changed after a quick look after D3K comment!
I found someone else's settings of using custom colour RGB 100, 93, 100 work well over a lot of these panels - it isn't necessarily the most accurate - but its close to accurate and seems to make the colours "pop" more than more closely calibrated settings while still looking natural - which for the kind of uses you'd use this monitor for is probably all that most will care about - personally I've got a Dell IPS alongside mine for using where I care about colour reproduction and accuracy heh.
ICC profile isn't essential but if you have half an idea what you are doing can fine tune the quality even more - main thing is to adjust the gamma via software i.e. the nVidia control panel - its useful to use http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php to test against so you can get the best look of contrast and saturation while minimising black crush - you'll probably have to make some small sacrifice in black crush to get the best overall looking result - at the end of the day this is a gaming monitor :s
Avoid changing the contrast on the monitor if possible as that is quickly quite destructive of deeper colour detail and as above the normal response setting works better than fast. Turning off deep sleep mode on the monitor can reduce any potential issues with it waking up which some have encountered but some have found it can use upto 20 watt in idle with it disabled - mine uses about 4-5 with occasional spikes when I tested it but even that is high compared to the deep sleep consumption.
