I got the same monitor. Only worry was the frequency oscillation

I use the "SmartImage" feature to switch between modes every day. My
monitor is in a room with plenty of natural light, too much sometimes,
so I'll use it in the "SmartUniformity" mode during daylight hours and
switch to "Economy" when it is dark outside. I do not notice any change
in video quality when it is darker and I am usually pretty sensitive to
flickering.
Back joystick is a bit of a pain as I do flip back and forth between
inputs.
When my system goes to sleep, and it wakes up and i turn the monitor
on, it sometime does the sync flicker (even goes black) and repeats
and generally looks screwy for about 10 seconds,
but once its running, never had any issue.
I have seen the same behaviour with one difference. Infrequently, it
will not sync on power on or wake up so I'll Ctrl-Alt-F4 to switch to a
console, which will cause it to sync, and Ctrl-Alt-F1 back to X where it
will sync without problems. I do not know if that is a monitor or video
driver issue and again, it's so infrequent and the workaround so easy
that it's a minor irritant, at best.
Is well worth the money! The monitor is sooooo bit, that you have to
really move eyes, or even turn head a bit, so certainly I doubt i
would ever
want bigger, accept that in having this monitor, I can now REALLY see
the attraction of a curved monitor.
I have had to fine-tune the distance of the monitor to find the sweet
spot between having to move around to see the edges and being able to
focus with my reading glasses. More fine-tuning with the prescription of
reading glasses may help.
I would have no interest in upgrading to say a 44"+ 4k monitor unless
it was
very curved so you don't have a distance issue as you look to the
left/right edges over the closeness of the middle. In fact the odd
person may even find the 40" to big, and want it to
be curved. Of course one issue is you have to buy a expensive video
card to use it, unless you happen to already have a 9 series.
I paid $240 for my video card. Over the life of this system and for the
productivity gains I got from going to 4k, it's well worth the price. I
expect prices will drop on the lower end cards that can do 4k because a
newer generation of cards, like the 1000 series, are coming on the
market now.
