Just assuming because of your name, but if you're getting it for gaming, no games are programmed in 10-bit colors, so they will just look odd when stretched on a wider color gamut than they were designed for, unless you set the monitor to sRGB mode like a standard monitor, which would defeat the purpose of spending the extra money on the professional one.
