Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I bought a brand new U3014 a couple hours ago despite knowing all the possible issues because I find multiple monitor setups very tiring-jarring (I used to have 4 monitors years ago and used to run with 2 until today). I opted to go with a 30" 2560x1600. In my country only U3014 is available...
I bought this monitor just a couple of hours ago. RTC overshoot does exist and very visible -at least on my unit- when scrolling black text over grey background. It is very annoying. I haven't seen it on other color combinations yet.
I bought myself a brand new U3014 a couple of hours ago. Unfortunately it has the exact same h-lines issue just like the OP. Lower left portion of the screen is highly affected, upper right is OK.
My unit also has other 'popular' defects as well, like backlight bleed from corners, RTC...
