Yes. My monitor has two issues: 1 - Sometimes it takes upwards of 2 minutes to wake up from sleep; 2 - Often, when it wakes up, it reverts to 8bit color and HDR stops working - can’t turn it on or off unless I power cycle the monitor. Can’t even switch to 10bit again unless I power cycle. Whoever coded the firmware needs to go back to college…
Issue with HDR after being in sleep state is known issue. RTings didnt mention it, so I am starting to believe that it’s kinda physicall hardware bug with DP on some models. Maybe later models.

Does someone else had issues with sleep mode? I bought 2 of them recently, and a strange thing appeared that both of them need sometimes more than a minute to wake from sleep. I have a third monitor connected and there are no such issues at all. All of them were connected by DP. I tried to connected with HDMI and it’s better, but still way too long to wake up. I cracked m mind to understand if this is something wrong with both of the monitors or with my PC. Interesting also that if I wake my pc from sleep or waking my monitors at minute they went to sleep, then there is also no issue. That’s kinda driving me crazy.

Thanks. But what about the viewing angles and colour shift?
The videos rtings posted regarding the viewing angles is pretty accurate. I don’t have the monitor super close to my face like some people like. It’s about 1.5ft - 2ft away from me and I don’t notice any issues.
I used to game on my VA Samsung tvs and the smearing was AWFUL on those. So I’d consider myself moderately sensitive to smearing.
However, I’m red-green color blind and color shift isn’t noticeable to me. Changes in brightness due to viewing angles are noticeable to me and I don’t see this in my usage with this monitor.

You can definitely use VRR and HDR at the same time with both PC and Xbox. And you can have a great HDR experience with either G-SYNC or FreeSync. We cover this and other comparisons of G-SYNC and FreeSync in our FreeSync vs G-SYNC article.
Thanks, appreciate the help man, keep it up.
