Great frame rates, no dead pixels or light bleeding

No stuck/dead pixels

No dead pixels, and the IPS glow is less noticable than on my previous monitor (Which never bothered me at all in the first place)

Although I have had a few specs of dust land on the monitor that freaked me out for a second when I thought they were dead pixels :

Requested a replacement, the new one had dead subpixels AND full dead pixels

The unit arrived with zero dead pixels but a small, yet noticeable amount of back light bleed in 3 places when you look for it.

But in my case no dead pixels or backlight bleeding

I didn't win the monitor lottery with a perfect unit, but it is enough within my level of tolerance that I didn't want to gamble with another one that could contain dead pixels or worse BLB.The virtues of this monitor are amazing.

Pros:Monitor came with no missing pixels, no BLBVery sturdy, tad of wiggle when typing

My first XB271HU has 2 dead pixels, which Amazon allows for a full refund.2

Screen is great, unfortunately mine had dead pixels in upper right part of the screen

I had to go through dust particles stuck behind screen, dead pixels, backlight bleed, defective stand, and a very small crack on top bezelOverall:I would definitely recommend purchasing this screen

First one I ordered had 2 dead pixels that I couldn't rectify, so I returned, and they matched next day shipping that I originally purchased

There is one dead pixel that I've found, and it is close to the top-center, so that is unfortunate

The colors, the speed, no dead pixels or noticeable BLB

i bought one from ebay before this one and it had 2 dead pixels and bad backlight

]Second monitor,İt has dead pixel and BLB again

I'll have to see how well it performs under different gaming environments, and see whether the replacement monitor has any issues with dead pixels, screen abnormalities or the dreaded yellow black-light bleed.

NTF."So, my observations regarding this whole story with the monitor:- Service specialists were not able to find a glowing green dot on a screen even though I attached a photo of a dead pixel.- I can continue using this unit, but I won't be able to sell it if I wanted to - nobody needs a monitor with dead

Second one had very even IPS Glow, if it weren't for the many dead pixels it would be perfect

No dead pixels, no yellow color back-light bleed on the corners, and oddly seems as though it performs better than the other one (I was starting to have spotty G-sync performance, but that could also easily be my aging video card - time will tell).I've also managed to balance out the colors between the two monitors, and they're just about identical now.
