1. There can be no sources of light facing the screen. It's a QD OLED, and dark/black areas will look purple.
2. It's not tremendously bright. I have a window behind my display, and it's just fine, but this monitor is not well suited for a very brightly lit room.
3. If you use VRR, the frame rate needs to be rather consistent, otherwise you will get a weird strobing effect in black areas. Frame rate caps are always your friend, but this issue really highlights their importance.
4. It needs to perform a pixel refresh cycle every 4-8 hours. This takes about 5 min. It will automatically initiate, or can be user initiated
Overall, I love this monitor. It's soo damn inky and smooth. I could only see myself upgrading to a 480hz OLED. That said, you'll want to make sure you have the hardware to drive whatever games you'll be playing in it.

I'm debating between this or Acer X27U for $500.

If you want to see what 360 Hz or a high refresh rate in general can do check out the different tests at this site:

The one downside so far is how crisp text is - it's less crisp than IPS. I've only had it for a few days. When I compare I can tell the difference between the screens side by side, but if I'm not looking for it then I don't notice. It isn't causing me any eyestrain or trouble yet, but I'll have to see how it goes because I do use the same monitor for work.
