Wow! This monitor is certainly not known for it's image quality. G-Sync just is not worth the huge loss in color accuracy & contrast ratio imho, certainly not worth $800!

Thanks for the review Hilbert!
My first and biggest concern is: Can I turn the red LED ring off? Everything I have is blue on purpose.
Yet again, as I've only got one, low quality lcd screen, I'm sure I'd be good with the "inferior" iq, but then again, 800€ is no little sum...

Yes you can disable it, it is the LIGHT IN MOTION feature in the OSD. You can set it to on/off.
On color precision, really the screen is nice overall, no worries. Some take color precision into extreme detail as they work with say photoshop on a professional basis where this is very important. For gamers, that's a little different and less important.

"I really dig color precision and good viewing angles. Speaking in terms of color precision. With an aim of 6500K, you'll end up at just over 7500K. That's not that good."
So is the colour not good out of the box? At the end of the review you mentioned that it is out from 6500k I heard the colour was good out of the box and did not really need tweaking much.
So you really think this first of a kind monitor is not worth £680?

On larger monitors 16:9 looks even more out of place.
Good thing there is still a handfull of 16:10 monitors.
