Can someone help me with the PG279Q if you own it?

I am upgrading from the ASUS mx279Q to a 1440p monitor. The MX279Q is a great IPS monitor with amazing sharpness settings. I just returned the Acer Predator XB270HU, because of lack of sharpness and color accuracy compared to my previous ASUS. Does the PG279Q have the ability to adjust sharpness? If not, I will get MX27AQ.
 
Solution
No it does not have the option to adjust sharpness.
You can however set the overdrive function to extreme, which may help images look faster, but will also result in overshoot, which is essentially reverse ghosting. 😱
Get the MX27AQ, it will provide a better experience if you want a sharpness function.

Bummer, I noticed a lot of Gaming IPS monitors aren't AH-IPS, which means they lack the ability to adjust the sharpless and lack great color accuracy. Both the MX279Q and MX27AQ are AH-IPS.
