I went ahead and bought this, needs a calibration which I've yet to do, but I like it so far. Hate the stand will need to buy an arm. Gamer lights in the back can be turned off and only turn on for a second at power on/resume. Don't want that shit messing with my Hue lights 😤

It has by far the best Gamut Coverages of any consumer/gaming monitor from 2010 up untill now. Edged out both A95K and S95B in sRGB/Adobe/DCI-P3/Rec.2020, I was completely blowed away by its vibrancy when I first saw it on shelf. Poor black level still.
 
The only legit bad thing I can say about this monitor after some time - the HDR local dimming blooming is distractingly bad on anything but 'local dimming low' - and on low it's 'eh not the worst but you can see it if you look for it' - but you won't be distracted by it at least. This is also all assuming you're watching an outer space scene with stars against a black background that this is really a problem in - not so much normal content - but when those space scenes or whatever hit it's distractingly bad
