Got my replacement monitor already. Plugged it in and so far zero dead / stuck / bright pixels. so im happy.
Only thing is the courier swapped out my pristine new box with a dirty old battered up one so gona drive back to the Depot and get mine back.
There was even a drivers not from ASUS to say to keep the battered box.
My OCD Kicking in.

I'm with you. I've kept every box that contained something of worth in good nick since I was a kid playing with Transformers. Shabby boxes make me sad. Amazon just delivered me a K70 kb without any packaging, just the original box. It's really bugging me that the corners are slightly mashed...
I'm not too schooled on display calibration but I just tried setting my gamma to 2.2 in the nvidia control panel and it looked really bleached. Am I missing a step?

After a few hours gaming and watching netflix on it this evening I'm kicking myself for not ordering one earlier.
Very happy with it just need to get some more juice to power it fully in TW3 I think.

Thanks. Set it to 0.92 and it looks good. This monitor just gets better!
Thanks, I may try this at some point but Rroff's tip seems to help so far.
Problem with using the nvidia adjustment or colour calibration for gamma is that it tends to be ignored by most games and resets itself when exiting fullscreen.
Mine reads about 1.6ish in the very center of the screen at eye level.
On a cheap monitor id accept it but not on a "Premium" one.
I've RMA'd it now so hopefully I will get a correct one this time.

Bit of a bummer that! AMD CCC screen controls seem to force it for everything thankfully.
Not sure what you can do for nvidia control panel method, does it create an ICC profile when you do that? If not, you could try using windows built in gamma slider/control, go to control panel and search for "cal", click on calibrate display colour and go through the steps, once finished, it will create an ICC profile and you could try this:
Yeah I could drop my gamma to 0.95 in amd ccc to have more "pop" and not have noticeable banding but I find things in the darker areas don't stick out as much then i.e. in bf 4 and on zavod map when playing as infy around C/D flags.

If I buy this monitor will I need to buy any extra cables to run with a 780ti.

Wasnt the point of g-sync so you get no more screen tearing any more no matter what the refresh rate is?
Why would they make this change? seems to make g sync exponentially worse or am i missing something?

Once you hit 144fps then the screen reverted to acting as if v-sync was on (with input lag), this new option gives you the ability to make it act as if it was off (no lag but with tearing). Personally I just set an fps cap below (143 or 124fps) using afterburner. It really depends on what you are playing and whether you need to exceed 144fps.
