Text clarity / BGR subpixel layout
BGR subpixel layout causes text to appear slightly blurry or show color fringing, especially in applications without native BGR ClearType tuning.
KVM switch connectivity problems
Peripherals may fail to detect after switching inputs via KVM, requiring cable reseating or power cycling.
High initial response time overshoot
Noticeable inverse ghosting occurs in 'Speed' or 'Picture Quality' overdrive modes; careful OSD tuning is needed to minimize overshoot.
