I don't game, and I only stare at it head on. Looks great to me.

Ouch.. TN panel .... sh*t ..... Probably THE one you shouldn’t have get...

Knowing how IPS displays look, I will never buy a TN panel ever again of my life.

That's what matters at the end of the day, but... for the record/next purchase: IPS or bust.

Understood, when I replace this, IPS it is.

Next question: I have it connected via HDMI, is there any benefit to a displayport to usb-c connection instead?

None that I’m aware oF for a 4K 60 Hz Non-HDR display.

OK, so there would be no difference? Or even with the hdmi to usb-c adapter I have already?

Just curious.

No difference. DisplayPort 1.4 has more bandwidth than HDMI2.0 but since you don’t saturate it in any way with a non-HDR display or >60Hz display, there are no difference at all.
