I bought one based on all the reviews I read because I wanted to go larger. 
My previous monitor was a samsung which I was very happy with.

The main problem out of the box was the brightness and the reviews say that. 
At the 'out-of-the-box' brightness level, I would get a headache quickly. 
The review sites tell you how to adjust the monitor's rgb values to turn 
down the brightness.

The second thing I noticed is when looking at the screen out of the side of 
my eyes, I notice some vibration which I did not see with the samsung.

The bottom line is, it took a few weeks to get used to the monitor and at 
one point, I wondered if I was a victim of the panel lottery.
