I had never thought of a 4K...but those two suggestions look very nice indeed.
Isnt desktop test unreadable though ?

What picture settings are people using?
On the 32", without UI scaling, it might be hard depending on your sight.
On the 40", the pitch is almost the same (a tiny bit smaller) as on 27/34" 1440p, so you should be fine.
The latter is also a VA display, so for Elite, I would start by testing this one
im at work at the mo but will give you my settings tomorrow, i managed it without a callibration tool

I've mentioned quite a few times here that one of the drawbacks of this monitor is banding in some poorly compressed images (Steam menu), in game skies (and also in very smooth gradations in images). It rarely bothers me, and if you've come from a TN panel you wouldn't notice the difference anyway I should imagine....
For Elite, yes areas of the darkness of space do indeed have what looks like oil spills, and there are poor gradations in some areas; however try this fix as it certainly helps a lot in Elite (If you've got an AMD card, then surely there are similar settings). Any Star Citizen fans - Arena Commander seems to hardly suffer from this, unlike Elite.
Change the Output colour format from the default RGB to either of the bottom two YCBcR422 or 444. (Not tried RGB and limited dynamic range - it might work too). This makes the game look like your 'old settings' in the images above as close as I could tell. Also, change it back to RGB when you're finished playing Elite.
GL. Btw - you should've seen Elite with back light bleed on my returned 34" LG's - ouch!!
(Everybody - sorry those images are so big).
elitedangerous32.exe used to be where you'd point Nvidia's settings.. but edlaunch.exe seems to work just fine.

whats the story with the picture/response time setting?
Should I keep it at faster or change it to fastest?

Standard. The higher you go, you get ghosting. Silly setting really.
yep dont worry about response times. i play a lot of cs go and its fine

Btw everybody - perhaps not copy other people's settings or use their colour profiles - seriously, there appear to be wide variations in what users are posting for the setting they are happy with here, and that includes ones setup by hardware calibrators.
Have a read through this thread and you'll see what I mean, although it's worked for some, but by no means all. Nothing wrong with trying though.. but your mileage may vary wildly.

My eyes are pretty bad if I'm honest ( starts to happen to you when you hit your mid 40s
. Even with glasses on the 1440p on this is as small as I would want to go without having my nose on the screen I'm worried about even looking at another VA panel now , admittedly 95% of the games looked amazing , however the remaining 5% accounts for 95% of my playtime....so becomes a big issue if this banding is normal on a VA.

You could always just not play ELITE
I haven't seen banding on any other games apart from a couple of instances in the witcher 3 and this panel is so beautiful in games I think it would be a shame to send it back just for one game.
Nice try...but not going to happen anytime soon
.....i will reach ELITE rank....one day. It may be one game , but it is my game

er.. did you try that fix I posted?

Damn and damn again.....both of them collected by courier for return today. Patience is not one of my strong points :-/
I have come from a TN panel, and im currently using a borrowed one to tide me over....neither of them suffer banding in Elite at all.
Im starting to wonder if a little back light bleed would be more acceptable than the horrors which were so immersion breaking for me in outer space....
If im honest , and I thank you for your suggested workarounds, am I expecting to much from around £800 for a monitor to actually have to do this ?
Im starting to come to the conclusion a high quality monitor just does not exist these days....every panel type has a fault or is susceptible to them in one form or another. Just have to decide which one is easier to suck up I suppose
The benq has zero backlight bleed to me it's the best all round monitor atm. The only thing that might make it better would be bigger. However I couldn't see the point in going 4k but having the same dpi as my 1440p screen as it would just look the same, just bigger.

No its not to much to ask, i had the banding issue with elite and noticed it right away. no way i put up with it either, was way to distracting for me too.

Some people have had no BLB on their IPS 34 inchers - it's worth a shot perhaps ordering one and see if you luck out.
Either that, or wait until upgraded or new 34" panels come out that overcome these drawbacks. And yes, for that kind of money you really would expect near(ish) perfection; thing is though, we're early adopters of 21:9 displays (even though they've been out for over a year) and we all know it's never perfect on 1st generation technology.
