It's a $1,200 31.5" PLS 3840x2160 monitor with FreeSync.

The good:

* Generally beautiful image
* No noticeable input lag
* Very good response time for its size
* Nice build quality
* FreeSync

The bad:

* Out of the box, the colors seem a bit too saturated for my taste
* 60hz only
* Typical PLS/IPS glow
* QA issues (or I'm just incredibly unlucky)

This is the new king of the hill for large gaming monitors. It's the first clear upgrade over HP's ZR30W in over 5 years, which is pretty ridiculous.

I won't be keeping the one I got, because there's dust trapped under the screen in like 3 places and dead pixels.

If you can get a good one, it's a nice monitor.
 
If I was starting over again I'd definitely go AMD with with this monitor for Freesync. 40fps is actually something you can target with Fury X CF, whereas 60fps isn't a guarantee with 980Ti/Titan X SLI.

It's clear to me with all the big 4K Freesync displays that are all out and the tumbleweed on the Nvidia side (not even any rumors of large 4K/IPS displays) that GSYNC is dead as a doornail.
 
Does this monitor has banding in the gray color? Does this monitor let you eyes train？The price same as the samsung 970d, but ue850 just has 8 bit.
