Reviews around backlight (2.10 of 5)

  • I had no problems with it, no dead pixels, no backlight
  • While many owners have been reporting that they've been receiving panels with dead pixels, horrible backlight bleed and IPS glow, what's more disconcerting is that some many forum members are speculating that Asus has been taking many returned units, adding a "QC Passed" sticker and resealing it and shipping it as new.
