Great quality, terrible functionality

I have this display and its predecessor at 60Hz and it's a parody of how far they've come back in terms of functionality. This display has removed the **auto-switch input** (making it awful to turn on the display if it was previously on a different input because you now have to switch in a race before auto-off kicks in.) and the custom menu UI has been "improved" and now has a delay of about 5 times for each keypress. Trying to change settings or even change input takes 7-8 seconds, compared to around 1 second on the previous model (which had a very quick and clear menu). works fast!) Absolutely big disappointment. IF IT IS NOT DEFECTIVE, DO NOT REPAIR IT! TL; DR - If you don't need 120Hz, get the predecessor because it's better in literally every other way.

Pros
