Thanks for that, might give it a shot just to see if any difference.
Out of interest what do you find better with the lg?
Since getting my 3080, the strip at the bottom and half screen/wake issues happen way more often than what happened with my amd card.
Will need to send it of to iiyama to get the latest firmware flashed.
Don't get why with monitors we can't do it ourselves via a USB drive or something....

Yup that's what makes this screen great, the price. Sure LGs etc. newer ones are good but they sure as hell aren't worth £800+, when you get to that kind of money, just save up a bit more and get an OLED, which will make any LCD monitor look completely worthless.
Have asked for the poll to be removed, should have removed it as sooner as the firmware was released to fix the issues bet hey ho
Will also update OP a bit.
I still need to send mine back to get the firmware fix as the issue definitely happens more often with a nvidia GPU.

Out of the box should be pretty good according to reviews. IIRC, settings should be about 15-30% brightness (depending on your preference), contrast at 50. The main setting you need to mess with is the colour preset, either warm, cool or user mode, seems to depend on the panel, which one is more accurate.

Yup, was for those who were having issues when first released but since the firmware fixed them problems, it seemed a bit pointless to keep it running and probably put of potential buyers.
Isn't that pretty much standard for all monitors though?
Sadly panel lottery still applies to all monitors. It's why I refuse to drop more than £400 on any LCD display, let alone £800+ as they're no better than these £400 ones for QC 
Have they changed their terms then? Back with the ultrasharp models, they offered something similar but in the fine print it had to be in the centre or/and at least 2/3 dead pixels iirc.
What about bleed? That is the biggest problem with monitor nowadays.
Done this last week through iiyama and seems they outsource it to repairtech. So far, not impressed:
- took them like 3-4 weeks to get back to my ticket raised (I pretty much said it just needs a firmware update)
- DPD picked it up and was next day delivery, so should have arrived on Saturday
- no notification to say it had arrived so I followed up with them on Tuesday there to confirm it did arrive and they said yes and that I'll be notified as soon as it goes to an engineer
Today, still waiting for notification.....
Seems very poor and slow given all they need to do is a firmware update.
Just hope it comes back in the same condition I sent it i.e. very little backlight bleed and no dead/stuck pixels....
Got it back the other day.
Thankfully in the exact same state as it was sent in so no dead pixels, minimal backlight bleed.
And the half screen wake up issue/bottom part being stuck is fixed with the firmware flash.
Also, the pixel response time seems better, especially at 0 and +1 settings.
Really is fantastic monitor this for the price.
