Got mine today, working great in testing with my Mac Mini M2. Just need to sort out the Ultrarm on the desk to get it mounted, always hated the stick out stands.

welcome to the club, most people don't know what they are missing out on. After you play widescreen is hard to go back to normal 16:9 :D

Well I am upgrading from the OG 49 G9 so been in the game just not the 57 game :D Moar res ftw!

What settings are you running at?

nothing really special, I have just left it as default and just turned brightness down to 5 and left it in Picture Mode: Eco. It was just too bright for me, specially as I write code in a dim light room it causes me eye strain. I would advice just checking for deal pixels and screen uniformity issues also make sure you test it thoroughly in the 30 days you have it. Some of them can have issue with coming out of sleep, where the monitor has power but wont show anything on screen and you have to power cycle the monitor. The only pain for me is getting some older games to work, they usually require some workaround but apart from this its a GREAT MONITOR even though its still LCD.

I use this to test the screen

oh and there is nothing wrong with Moar:D
 
Cheers mate, good test and no missing pixels or anything :)

Mine from the box was too dim, it was set on 3 brightness and everything else on max. The colour profile on the mac is pretty pants on the default G95NC, the colours are washed out so set that on ColorMatch RGB which gives them some life. Apart from that compared to my old G9 the resolution is pretty much perfect. I have to set some websites to 125% as text is too small, but apart from that loving it.

Is it possible to run a 4k firestick through the HDMI input on one half of the monitor and then use the other half to play games at 4k/240hz (via display port) at the same time or are there some limitations on refresh rate/resolution when using two inputs side by side ?

dont quote me but I believe when you split the screen like this one side is locked to 120hz and the other half is 60hz. But you can do what you suggest only issue is this difference in refresh rates.
