Just an update.
I have returned the monitor as i was not completely satisfied with it as ive realized quite a lot of things while i had it and ofcourse the price tag premium that the gsync module gave.
1. All i really want from a monitor(and this was the initial "want" before any of these VRR stuff came out) was a monitor that had both worlds - IPS and high refresh rate.
2. Having a fairly powerful computer(i think mine is alright in that regard) basically negates the need for VRR(gsync/freesync) as most of the time, you'll be playing at the refresh rate of your monitor anyway. Yes there's some instances that frames will drop and that is when you'll see what VRR solves. But then again, that drop in frames may only be a few seconds or worse case probably just max a minute.
3. Worst case scenario, if your graphics really cant hold the refresh rate of your monitor, you could always drop it down to or close to what your graphics can produce. Yes it'd be a pain to keep changing but heck, I'd rather do that which takes maybe couple of seconds before i start a game than have tearing, etc.
These are just my thoughts, I may be wrong to what i thought gsync/freesync should be doing if so, feel free to correct me.
After writing that blob though, i just come to realise that im just ranting about the disadvantages of GSync, which is ultimately the price premium it brings.
But back to the monitor. My god its nice. That one i got had no problems with dust/whatever or dead/stuck pixels.
Only thing i noticed was slight(in my opinion) bleeding which i really can live with.
And the 5-point joystick for the OSD that sometimes got annoying as it was losing its tactile feedback when pressed.
And lastly the power supply for it, its external - disappointing. Would really have liked to have it integrated instead.
But heyho.
