Nice monitor! Impressive specs and a classy design. I like that there aren't any gaudy gamer shapes or colors -- just a sleek and professional look.

That HDRi mode is a concern though. Am I the only one who hates dynamic brightness and dynamic contrast? HDRi appears to be an expansion of those features. I find myself spotting the change in brightness and contrast even when the display tries to be subtle. Similarly, Intel's power-saving brightness feature on their graphics drivers drives me crazy. I notice it brightening the screen when working in Office programs or dimming the display when I'm using Blender.
