New PG279Q poor color balance and pile later dark scenes

Hello folks, I RMAed my first monitor do to backlight bleed, otherwise it was perfect in every way.
The new monitor has barely notable blb but two issues noted so far.

Issue 1 Certain color shades are coming in too hot, almost neonish.
It is not just red, it can be orange, blue, yellow.
I am looking at my monitor now and the google chrome icon looks flat slightly dull at the same time the VLC icon is coming out hot orange.

Is this a calibration issue or could it be a defect?

Issue 2
I was watching daredevil on Netflix to test for any blb or excessive IPS glow. Looks like I may be good on that end but I have a bigger problem. All dark areas in the scene are coming in gradient and pixelated. Didn't have this problem with the first monitor I sent in. Is this also a calibration issue or something else I need to look into?

Thanks in advance!E
