Hey Gents,
Just letting you guys know I picked up this bad boy due to my failing eyesight to replace my AOC AGON 35QCX 200hz.
Gotta say once properly set up it has not skipped a beat.

There's a pretty decent review, I purchased mine in Australia and can confirm the same settings for input lag and pixel response produced the same results. It also has better pixel response than the AOC somehow, I notice a lot less trailing.
Only thing I had to change is in NVIDIA's control panel I had to set to prefer highest refresh rate as games that did not have a Hz setting required that to be enabled. I leave it at 4k on my desktop for everyday use and switch between 1080p and 1440p depending on the games performance (optimizations etc...).
I can also confirm 4:2:2 chroma is used when in 1440p, I tried 120hz and 119hz both did not result in being able to use 4:4:4. I tried lower refresh rates in the 70's and 90's range but it did not accept the source.
Res I use are:
2160p @ 60hz
1440p @ 120hz
1080p @ 120hz
I tried DSR but it would only accept multiple of the 2160p.
All-in-all I am very happy with this display and it makes FPS and space sims a lot easier to swallow compared to my old ultrawide. Also improves UI compatability obviously with title like Ark: Survival Evolved where it would stretch the screen to the point of looking like a dogs breakfast.
