Thinking heavily about pulling the trigger on this monitor, seen a few reviews but what are your thoughts on it?

That is a little disconcerting, I can find anything regarding g-sync compatibility on their website now.
If you follow the posts,they temporarily removed the g-sync from their website description because they are awaiting nvidia confirmation and not beceuse it doesn’t support g-sync.some youtubers who bought it confirmed g-sync works.
I got mine today (was a replacement for the first one I was sent with a faulty joystick button). This one works great. Love it so far.
Did you purchase it from OCUK? because I don't think they accept monitors back with dead pixels, unless it is a certain amount.

I looked at their site as I was curious too... and I think there's a few things in play ... you can return anything within 14 days (no need for it to be faulty) but you've gotta pay the postage... and you've got 30 days to send something that's faulty back... and you're right that dead pixels don't count as it being faulty (see below) but I don't think that overrides the 14 days you've got if you just decide you don't want something.
But as I've not done it I don't know how it works out in practice.
without any doubt you can return it based on 14 days change of mind rule.but you have to pay for shipping if they ask you to.regardless of their terms and condition,this return period is a distance selling rule in UK,so they can never refuse.

First impressions are pretty good.
Recognised as gsync compatible without any issues, and no stuck pixels etc. I haven't noticed any flickering either so far.
Maybe a little bit more backlight bleed than I'd like, but it's not terrible.
games look pretty awesome so far.

Interested in this monitor but reading it has flicker at low fps when g-sync is being used and thats a deal breaker for me
It has better user reviews than similarly priced monitors so far,and it's not like you can get a better monitor for £200-£300 more.so calling it a low cost,when for a real improvement in quality you have to pay twice the price seems unfair and wrong.it apperas to have much better build quality than likes of Iiyama,electriq,etc
This is my first post so welcome everyone. I've bought this monitor last and it was delivered last week.
Backlight bleed isn't that bad, colors are fine and ghosting is also ok but that's all.
Menu and joystick aren't that good. Joystick is pretty noisy and hard to push.
But what's worse is that when g-sync is activated then horrible flickering occurs.
Have a look at this

What I've tried so far:
- different DP cable of course
- clean install of nvidia drivers even using DDU
- changing freesync range using CRU to 30-144 | 50 - 144 | 80 - 144
Till now nothing helped so I'm open for suggestions
Of course everything is fine when g-sync is disabled.

As far as I'm aware there is nothing you can do to combat the flicker right now.
Its possible a fix may come via nVidia drivers but if you're like me and fairly impatient that will probably get old soon.
As for the joystick you can download OSD software to control your monitor via Windows instead of persevering with the joystick.
Yes those low costs 400-500$ uw 3440x1440 have all the same problems...
Thank you very much for your review.
I compared all those. Xiaomi and gigabyte were the 2 only "oki" choices to try to get such a monitor for nearly no money but we have to admit they have nothing in commun when you take a Dell Aw3420dw or a LG 34gn850 for exemple. Not the same category and it is for a good reason !!
