Nice setup, I am too waiting for the next gen of GPUs to along with an 144hz ultrawide. I have R9 390 8GB and its showing its age.

Just got mine from somewhere else. First impressions aren't good.
The panel doesn't sit flush to the outer casing, particularly in the top right, where there is some severe back light bleed. Two dead pixels and what appears to be dirt behind the panel.
Looks like it will be going back.

Oh damn, that doesn't sound good. I guess there had to be a reason for the cheapness compared to the rest of the market at the minute.

Unlucky hope the others have better QC but for the price it is expected to be poor.

I might have just been unlucky and this one slipped through the QA. £400 is still a fair amount for a screen and it should be built properly.

Yeah no excuse for that level of poor quality. I don't care that this screen is cheaper than competitors, that just tells me the rest of these panels are laughably overpriced. You can pick up OLED TVs cheaper which are better in every single way.
Mine arrives today, I'm expecting OCUK will be better than the other places selling, as everywhere else selling these have questionable reps.

How do you upload pictures?
Need to upload them to imgur or other hosting side then link them using the bbcode image tags.

Thanks!
Just received mine, its bloody odd going from a curved screen to a flat one again, it looks like its curved backward to me haha.
Anyway, 0 dead pixels that I can see.
My pc room is too bright at the moment to test any back light bleed properly but so far it appears I have a little in the bottom left of the panel but nothing excessive.
So far, so good!
Any guides on how to set this up properly out there though?
EDIT: Oh and I dont remember seeing this advertised but it is a 10bit panel apparently.

That’s quite bad. I’d imagine it would be much worse if the room was darker.

It's a shame as I have tested a few games and apart from the obvious defects it appears to work well in the ones I have tried.
Looks like yours took a hit in the top right there.
Above the screen the bezel bows up a bit (for the lack of a better word), mine is perfectly flat all the way across.

Yes it seems to be just bad luck. Hopefully it will be swapped out for a replacement.
