@splifingate Your post moved me to take a closer look at my screen. Mine doesn't display the inconsistency you see. I know it will be a right royal pain but is it worth considering a return/replacement?
return/replacement is not warranted (aside from any personal feelings that might lean me to such).
2/360deg is rather negligible, and not that dissimilar to all of the varied backlight dis-conformaties I have ever experienced with any LCD monitor.
My assessment was in a particular light, at a particular angle: direct face-to-screen perceptuals are entirely homogeneous, and entirely acceptable.
My reservations with an immediate second purchase are based upon the lack of immediate need (I have ten, excellent displays in the house, and there is no real need for more)
Just to let everyone know that my monitor arrived safely, no dead pixels found, and it looks stunning. I can confirm that it does work with the Sabrent TB4 KVM perfectly. Only thing you lose is the 100W PD drops down to 60W, naturally, since that is the max the KVM can output unfortunately. (Will need to let my wallet heal and add a dock to the chain to return the 100W...)
Seems like dead pixel issues are related to the past
Congratulations to your new display

Until they are not!
Glad we get some respite in the meanwhile . . .
I also see that the monitor can run at "4k 120Hz". Has anyone tried this and verified that it's actually 120Hz, or is this just a software bug and it's just a typical downscale to 4k 60Hz?
I would do some research on how good ASUS's support is deemed to be. It has an atrocious reputation.
Update:
I just tested it and my impression is that the Kuycon G32P actually allows higher frames per second (FPS) in other resolutions. The maximum limit seems to be 144Hz (at least with HDMI 2.1, maybe someone can verify this with Thunderbolt 5 or DisplayPort 2.1). So up to 120Hz is possible with 4K, and up to 144Hz with WQHD (2560x1440)!
I can't believe it... why wasn't this advertised?! That's awesome!

Yes, fortunately, the Kuycon G32P is glossy for maximum image quality. That's why I don't like matte screens, because the matte coating affects the sharpness. It's up to you whether you like it or not. I only have glossy screens (Dell 5K, 2x Apple Display Studios & Kuycon G32P).
IMHO the remote control is necessary to switch the Inputs.
Thanks, due to the revelation it will run at up to 144hz at 4K!! It opens the possibility of gaming.
But it doesn't see like it's easy to buy in the UK?
I recommend reading through the Kuycon thread! Everything has already been discussed there, including how and where to get a Kuycon G32P. I would say that about a dozen users have already ordered the G32P from this thread. The safest places to order are Alibaba and Clickclack.
Quite the find! Is there any possible chance running these modes could hurt the panel in the long term?Update:

I tried to reach out to Kuycon about this but the language barrier made it hard to explain what I meant.
I would guess that the panel T-con circuitry is working just as hard for 10 bit FRC at some unspecified higher Hz at 6K, as whole frame 120/144Hz at 4K?
The RealTek scaler chip in the video board is designed to work like that.

It's interesting that when I play a first-person shooter in WQHD and display the FPS (frames per second), it goes up to 250 FPS. I don't completely trust this information, but I do notice that I can aim “better.” However, other users would have to determine whether the Kuycon G32P is as smooth as “real” gaming monitors, because I can imagine that other aspects such as Gsync & Co. also play a role. I'm not knowledgeable enough about this topic.
What would be interesting (because I can only test this via HDMI 2.1 with a maximum bandwidth of 48 Gbit/s) is whether there could be a higher Hz under 6K or 5K if more bandwidth (i.e., 80 Gbit/s) is available.
Is there anyone among us who might be able to test this? If so, I would actually buy a RTX 5090

The one I have automatically switches inputs when cables are plugged/unplugged.
I have not, yet, tested HDMI or fps.
Mine has been sat @ Stanstead since last Wednesday, you cannot talk to a human @ Fedex, mildly annoying.
I stumbled across something called “DFR” which Acer cites in the press-release specs for their 27" 5K QQHD/QHD dual mode 72Hz/144Hz display announced for Q1 2026. (That’s a lot of Qs!)
It stands for “Dynamic Frequency & Resolution” — a term or standard [?] invented by LG Display (not trademarked, as far as I can tell) for this dual-mode capability. See this article (about OLED, but DFR is not exclusive to that, as the Acer press release illustrates):
https://news.lgdisplay.com/en/2024/...echnology-a-new-standard-for-gaming-monitors/
Here’s a good quote from the introduction: “While it is theoretically possible for a monitor to achieve high refresh rate and resolution simultaneously, most games are divided into genres that require either high refresh rate or high resolution, which is why it was deemed more efficient to develop the DFR technology. There was also demand from consumers who wanted to use their monitors for things outside of gaming, such as watching movies and office work, which also prompted us to develop a gaming OLED panel that features variable resolution.”
As a result, I’ll guess that all of these displays that use the LG Display IPS Black panels come with a video board and scaler chip that supports this DFR dual-mode. I can’t really explain why, if this is true, they don’t market them as such — my guess is maybe it’s more theoretical than practical, so they want to keep gamer’s expectations low. I don’t know.
