Great monitor and great price (When it's on sale)

I picked up this monitor in store on Friday the 18th and used it that night and the following morning.
The Good: It's blazing fast and smooth with it's high refresh rate, gsync and its 1ms responce time. At 1080p it's a great match for my GTX1070. I played a few games of Overwatch and CS:GO on it at 180hz and it felt amazing. It's a TN panel so colors aren't going to be as great as an IPS but out of the box the colors are pretty darn good for a TN. In game and during use, it's hardly an issue. The pro's definitely outweigh the con's in this regard.
The Bad: The reason I'm giving this monitor 4 stars is because my unit ended up being defective (mildly) and i had to exchange it. Not a huge deal breaker but still pretty annoying(not something you expect to have to do when spending $350-$450 on a monitor, but stuff happens). It had a faint gray horizontal line across the top third of the screen that appeared only when using DisplayPort (the only input that allows for the high refresh rate and gsync). The issue didn't show up on HDMI. So the issue wasn't purely panel damage.
I enjoyed it while I had it despite the line issue, and am looking forward to getting my replacement in 2 days.
