Taking one star off because I had to return the first one for at least 7 dead pixels and it had some pretty awful backlight bleed so the Quality Control is still pretty iffy.

I ordered this monitor from Amazon Warehouse Deals thinking that I would receive a monitor with minor defects like a couple dead pixels, and a bit of IPS glow(which is normal), and maybe some backlight bleed if I was unlucky

I lucked out and have NO issues or dead pixels

No dead pixels no bad panel quality.

Another dead pixel, come on quality control

It had dead pixels and tremendous back light bleeding on the top section and bottom right corner

I was reading other reviews on how they had issues with defective monitors or that they had some dead pixels but mine was just fine

The display has one dead pixel near the top left of the panel, not really in the

It had what was advertised (from what I could tell) and I would have kept it if it wasn't for those meddling dead/stuck pixels :/

The dead pixel and back light bleed slowly crept up to me and I realized, that for $600 dollars, I should be getting my moneys worth

This isn't an overlooked dead pixel

Haven't had any problems with bleeding or dead pixels yet

No dead pixels (again, at least on mine).+ USB ports for my mouse and keyboard are nice for reducing the cable rat's nest behind my

I requested multiple replacements (my first one had IPS bleeding issues NO dead pixels) and got worst

QC problems eat at your conscience; eliminate the back-lighting and weird pixel discrepancies and you would have yourself a solid 4.5 star monitor (FreeSync range really needs to be extended, both lower and to the max refresh of the display to really deserve a full 5

No back light bleed or dead pixels

I was skeptical to order originally because of the complaints of there being backlight bleed and dead pixels, but my monitor has had zero issues or backlight bleed whatsoever, and its an absolute beast for gaming at 2k resolution

What more could anyone ask for?This monitor looks fantastic, mine didn't have a single dead pixel, and everything works flawlessly

I checked for dead pixels and backlight bleeding and was relieved to find that my monitor was perfectly fine!

It is bigger than at least 5 pixels lumped together (because another one has dead pixel, I know how they look)2nd

I'm amazed at how poor Asus's QC has been with the MG279Q monitor: Many other people have gotten monitors with similar problems (bad pixels, partially occluded pixels (AKA "dust" in between panel layers), and bad back-light bleed) leading one to believe that the chances of getting a good MG279Q monitor are slim to none

No dead pixels.

No dead pixels and the back light bleed is not noticeable

I bought this monitor skeptical of all the reviews with people saying they had blemishes and dead pixels

This still makes monitor shopping terrifying as most companies will refuse to fix or refund before a certain number of dead/stuck pixels

Some of these look like standard dead pixels while others look more like panel contamination.

First one was from Newegg and that had a cluster of dead pixels right in the center

It also had one bright (light blue) pixel

No dead/stuck pixels or smudges, and only a small area of IPS glow at the top

No problem with dead pixels on my end

Can run scaled up to 3008x1692, but then what's the point of a 4k monitor when you try to split every 4th pixel

Works perfectly, no dead pixels

Had a ton of stuck/dead pixels on it

Works great no dead pixels

(mini display port to display port cable)No dead pixels at all!I am running a Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X and DID get a chance to take advantage of FreeSync, and mostly played FFXIV and Heroes of the Storm, both of which looked fantastic at 1440P with all settings maxed out

The monitor arrived with ZERO dead/stuck pixel, no flickering etc. etc.

Instead, I received the perfect monitor, no dead pixels, little to no IPS glow, and no backlight bleed.

I love everything about this monitor EXCEPT the super annoying stuck red pixel in the middle of the screen

No dead pixels, no other quality issues to speak of

I can't get over how great 4k is and the size is awesome, the response time is great, and the options for picture customization is also great, I have had no dead pixels or any problems with this

For that price, I can live with the dirt and bad pixels solely because you will not find another WQHD 144hz IPS monitor with FreeSync anywhere close to that price

The ONLY problem i have is there are 3 "dead" pixels in my top right of the screen

From experience, 1 dead pixel on a 1440p resolution 27" size is small but VERY distracting

No dead pixels, absolutely NO backlight bleed and the IPS glow is Very Very minimal.

No dead pixels no backlight bleeding.

My unit had no dead or stuck pixels.

No dead pixels.

The dead pixel and back light bleed slowly crept up to me and I realized, that for $600 dollars, I should be getting my moneys worth

Arrived with a Dead Pixel

Monitor 5 - 08/08/15:The first screen with an actual dead pixel in the lower right.

I love everything about this monitor EXCEPT the super annoying stuck red pixel in the middle of the screen

Much to my surprise, this IPS panel didn't have any dead/stuck pixels.

Instead, I received the perfect monitor, no dead pixels, little to no IPS glow, and no backlight bleed.

The second monitor I got had little to no dead/stuck pixels but there's a small bright section that is about and inch tall and a quarter inch wide.

Works great no dead pixels

I also ran some other colored pictures by to make sure there were no dead pixels, faded pixels, dust, scratches, hair, or anything else that previous owners' review had so viciously claimed

I did have to RMA my first one because it has a small cluster of dead pixels on the left side of the screen.

Nice quality product, I did eventually get 1 red pixel, not too bad in those terms

Most will say they got a bad monitor saying that it has dead pixels

Mine came with no dead pixels or issues that I can see

Works perfectly, no dead pixels

Cons:-5+ dead pixels

Monitor arrived with no dead pixels

The pixel is always going to bother

No dead pixels, no washed out anything

I love how bright this screen gets which is how I noticed the first monitor I received has a few dead pixels

So far no dead pixels

But the forth one appears to be okay, no dead pixels, not much backlight bleed, and so far it hasn't lost the signal, BUT when I first set it up the OSD control would select an option every time I pushed down, I'm guessing it must be some little flashing of extra plastic on the stick because after about 10 minutes of fiddling with it and the problem seems to have cleared up

My unit came with 1 dead pixel (in the upper left corner), about 7 partially occluded pixels (randomly dispersed in the lower middle right), unacceptably high amount of back-light bleed from the bottom right and left edges of the screen (about 2in in from each corner), and most annoyingly of all, it intermittently goes dead (black screen of death) for no apparent reason (I've never seen this

No dead pixels

1440p 144hz IPS as advertised, not as much backlight bleed as others have posted and no dead pixels

No dead pixels or smudges observed, but I haven't combed the monitor with a magnifying glass

The image quality is real awesome!!!!!But I just find 3 bad pixels, 2 around the center of screen

This monitor has a prevalent IPS glow (especially worse in the corners), just like the Acer XB270HU and as such expect a less than perfect monitor that may need to be returned due to excessive IPS, dead pixels, and/or other panel imperfections.

In a dark scene, say a black wallpaper, I can see flickering pixel noise everywhere on it

I will not be returning the monitor as the dead pixel is on the bottom of the screen, and I barley see it without focusing on it

I'm amazed at how poor Asus's QC has been with the MG279Q monitor: Many other people have gotten monitors with similar problems (bad pixels, partially occluded pixels (AKA "dust" in between panel layers), and bad back-light bleed) leading one to believe that the chances of getting a good MG279Q monitor are slim to none

You originally think that dead pixels are a very rare thing until it happens to you

The "A" in the silver Asus logo on the front bottom of the bezel was chipped off, it had a dead pixel, and the monitor sometimes flickered whilst using free sync on my 260X.

I'm still trying to decide if it's worth the hassle of going through a return or not, but having a bright red pixel that's always on is beyond distracting

2 for dead pixels, one for a bad VESA mounting bracket.

So It seems like after 4 monitors (1 from Newegg, 3 from Amazon), they all had some type of issue, whether it was stuck pixels, dead pixels, back light bleed, and weird (but rare

No dead pixels

Dead pixel blob 2x4 in size slightly below center plus a smaller 2x2 blob two inches below the first

What more could anyone ask for?This monitor looks fantastic, mine didn't have a single dead pixel, and everything works flawlessly

No dead pixels or eye lashes here

So far there's no dead pixels or screen bleeding

This is the second time I tried buying this monitor, the first one had dead pixels and this one turned on once and will not turn on again

The next issue is more of a WTF problem, how do you get partially occluded pixels

I'm not able to find any stuck or dead pixels

None of the online techniques worked to fix the dead pixels which is why I instantly returned it.

Stuck/dead pixels are a pretty common issue and it's much easier to be able to just take a monitor back to a retailer and swap it out instead of having to deal with shipping it back and waiting for a replacement.

* It had 2 or more dead pixel groups

IPS bleeding BUT Dead pixels)

The replacement monitor had 0 dead or stuck pixels but that glow though

I then swiped my finger of the "Dead pixels' and it just ahppened to be some sort of residue ,the size of pixels, on the screen

To be clear, I still love these monitors, just experiencing some slight annoyances.- Second display has a dead pixel

Well, less than a week and a dead pixel just appear

Amazing picture quality, 0 dead pixels, great resolution, and 144hz!

no dead pixels and absolutely none of the corner glow that people seemed to be complaining about

I cant ignore them, not two obvious, but it costs me 600.Request for replacement, hope I can get a perfect one, or the bad pixels at corner.#2 Monitor2 bad pixels right corner

But so far no dead pixels or tearing like in some reviews.

I think because it was not off or stuck like a dead pixel, just darker than the rest of the area

First one was perfect, but I do have one dead pixel on the second

That being said, I have no issues with dead pixels so far and the response time is very good

No dead pixels or blurred spots like other people are saying

Love the monitor except the one dead pixel right in the middle of the screen that will drive me crazy.

Monitor works well and doesn't have a single dead pixel

The monitor has no backlight bleed and no dead pixels

I have not had a problem with black light bleed but have received 5 monitors in total, all with dead pixels

This one had another stuck red pixel on the right center of the screen as well as a osd joystick that wasn't giving the proper down input.3rd monitor: This one had no dead pixels but terrible light bleed on the right side that could easily be seen in games

Replacement has a completely dead black pixel in the bottom left corner

Literally the perfect monitor, no dead pixels perfect resolution and size

DEAD PIXEL

I do not have bad light bleed, or any dead pixels

Monitor was flawless no BLB at all, no dead pixels

No issues with dead pixels or anything as others have described

Luckily I received one without any dead pixels or bleed effects as all other people have been saying

Be aware that there will pretty much always be something wrong with one of these monitors whether it be dead pixels, backlight leak, or the problem I had

So guess what Asus wants me to do now that I am one of the lucky few who have bought this monitor and do not have performance issues with it (dead pixels, backlight bleed)?

great so far, no dead pixel

The only problem was one "hot pixel" in the bottom right corner

No dead pixels and minor LCD bleed through that isn't noticeable with any kind of image on the screen

Zero dead pixels.

The only problem was one "hot pixel" in the bottom right corner

Only time i noticed the dead pixels was on a full white screen while searching for them.

I played the panel lottery as we all do when buying big monitors on the internet and got a panel that had a minor issue, but was free of dead pixels and LCD anomalies

and they all had problems (dead pixels, scrambled video, losing signal).

great so far, no dead pixel

First off, I realize that it can be hit/miss with getting a display that doesn't have issues with dead pixels, backlight bleeding, etc.

After turning the monitor on I saw what looked like over 10 dead pixels

No dead or stuck pixels

Monitor was flawless no BLB at all, no dead pixels

Literally the perfect monitor, no dead pixels perfect resolution and size

I did not have any issues with backlight bleed or any dead pixels on arrival

No dead pixels

No dead pixels or blurred spots like other people are saying

I could see the pixels were working just fine behind it but that spot ruined what was otherwise a beautiful screen.

I saw all the reviews that mentioned stuck/dead pixels.

Amazing picture quality, 0 dead pixels, great resolution, and 144hz!

It looked great to begin with, until I found a dead pixel by the left of the upper middle section

Well, the spot and the 8 dead/stuck pixels that I counted

I've seen others complaining about dead pixels and such but everything looks great here so far (after one day of use admittedly)

I love this monitor, best one I
