I have a GTX 1060 laptop, set up is easy and there was no need for me to calibrate anything, I even dare say this monitor looks better than my own laptop screen at 1080p.
At first i thought it didn not support 75Hz and the colors were washed out and it was too bright, also on the nvidia panel it said 1080p at 60Hz however this is what you gotta do to fix it.
"CALIBRATION"
1. Connect via HDMI
2. Open Display settings and make sure that they are set so that only the 2nd display is turned on, do not put duplicate or extend.
3. Open Nvidia control panel and go to "Change Resolution"
4. You will see two lists, one will say HD, UHD etc, the other one at the bottom will say "PC", (changing the first list will project your laptop screen to the second screen however your laptop is 60Hz and the monitor is 75Hz that is why its limited to 60Hz and colors are washed out, changing the second list will basically use your laptop...

Needed two new monitors for a new PC in the office. Went with this because it was the best value in terms of size vs price. I'd also purchased these for clients in the past and heard they were happy with them. After seeing the complaints about the colors being washed out, I gave my monitors away and decided if there were any problems with these I'd either live with it or fix it.
Out of the box the monitors were fine. The only complaint I can come up with is that the VESA mounts are lower on the back due to the slim design. After looking at settings, I determined that for me as an IT manager I didn't need to recalibrate the screens at all. Granted, I spend most of my time looking at text documents, configuration pages for network equipment, and the accounting software my company uses. I couldn't speak to color calibration for individuals doing video or photo production.
One thought on the others experiencing washed out colors - HDMI out on a computer kind of...

Just got two of these bad boys. pulled them out of the box added the thread extenders put them on my monitor tree. Set up was easy, resolution is perfect for my needs (Business). Did some initial setup with adjusting the view area of the screen but the auto adjustment made that very simple. I use the VGA connections so can't speak to the HDMI but for the Price these are amazing. One thing that I will mention is that they use a proprietary Power cord but that is more just for information it has a very large plug so you will need to account for that when planning your Power set up.
