I haven't found the Color Sweet spot that much of an issue I think due in large part to the luminance sweet spot is much more forgiving than the JVC models I've had to grow accustomed to. I've found that the true blacks of the monitor are enough to impress most clients even off axis. I have color review passes that go much faster when I bring in my Sony OLED. Of course when working I'm always in the sweet spot.
