        Yes it does have sRGB colour profile in OSD and it does help with colour.

    Hey, late reply, but I've had mine for a little while now and I feel confident in giving a response from someone who's not too into monitors, but isn't totally pulling stuff out of thin air.

    The IPS glow and backlight bleed, at least on mine, is kinda bad. I have a few spots up the top of the monitor which are definite bleed issues, and the lower left is very glowy. However, while I might play panel lottery once it's all back in stock, I don't think this is a bad monitor for the price by any means. As for which panel it uses, I'm not sure how to answer that. I saw on a Korean post they said they were using Innolux panels, but I dunno how true that is for the Australian stock. Mine arrived with no dead pixels. I kinda don't get why they continue to include CDs with monitors when something like a 2gb thumb drive would probably cost just as much and be far more accessible, but whatever. Not a real issue.

    It has really strong ergonomics, with really solid tilt, swivel, and lift. I might be inexperienced in this section since my previous monitor was completely static, but I'm aware of plenty of 1440p 144hz+ monitors that are more expensive with less solid ergonomics. The controls for the general monitor menu suck, though. It seems a lot of monitors nowadays are going for the joystick menu navigation, but this one just goes for the button navigation which isn't intuitive and sometimes you accidentally turn it off if you're not paying attention. At least it has a one-button mode switch so you don't need to fiddle too much all the time.

    The colors are great, but it's only 10-bit if you're at 120hz or less OR you're using YCbCr422 which makes the text on screen look hideous (even if you turn off Cleartype). So I don't think I'd recommend it if you want lovely colors, a nice internet browsing experience, and 155hz. But this is an entry-level monitor for its resolution and refresh rate, so it's forgivable if you're not looking to be an eSports star and you've only got $400-ish to blow on a monitor and missed some of those cool Black Friday sales. 120hz vs 155hz is much less of a difference compared to 60hz vs 120hz, so I'm enjoying it regardless.

    Overall, it's a strong budget monitor. I think going for the more well-known monitors on sale like the S2721DGF would be worth it if you're patient and really need the brand clout, but if you're new to 1440p gaming you could do a lot worse. My IPS glow/backlight bleed is a bit distracting, but that's kind of how cheaper IPS monitors be and if you're not aware of it (like me, a month ago, on my old monitor) it might not be an issue. I think my most unimportant favorite aspect is the standby light doesn't flash like my old LG monitor's did, so it doesn't piss me off when I've let it idle too long.
