so I don't expect a gaming monitor, but for those interested in knowing if this has dynamic contrast option, yes it does

I found the contrast to be fair although could use a slight bump towards darker / shadow response

Clear and beautiful with great dynamic contrast

Too much bluish grey and not enough contrast nor bright.

However adjusted picture is much better than a 4 year old 1080P ips viewsonic (which could never be adjusted to good contrast and lack of blue grey tinting)
