    Im not sure, if he has G-Sync or not. But i tested 2 x 01.0 panels and both work just fine. But no Gsync. Or Optimus, since the EDID's are stock not Alienware.

    Umm kinda. But both the 4k's we're ordered from China and I swapped them out for the default Clevo screens.

    Yes it is "Working". But not working correctly.
    With the bezel replaced the over run on the bottom and right hand side is worse

    How is G-Sync enabled? I thought it was automatic! As far as I know at least on of these panels is a Dell original, so would or should it have the G-Sync option?

    I'm starting to think it may have something to do with the panel revisions.

    01.0 = Good
    01.1 = Bad
