No dead pixels, and there is a bit of black light

Bought the first one and returned it the same day because of a batch of dead pixels

and yup, more dead pixels.

So you can buy one of these and end up with 4 dead pixels in the middle of your screen and they still won't do anything about it because there has to be at least 5 total dead

I had no dead pixels, it's plenty bright

Zero dead pixels

No dead pixels, no back light bleed, and just minor IPS glow, well within acceptable limits, and among the lowest I've seen on an IPS monitor anywhere

Gladly no dead pixels on this new unit

I ordered a replacement and within a week the replacement had a dead pixel.

Having said that, I was certainly concerned about QC issues surrounding bad pixels and backlight bleed.

2 dead pixels in different quadrants and good black.

Turns out that I inadvertently ordered 2 of these monitors, so having briefly used the first and now the second, the same defective pixel, in the exact same spot failed on both

My monitor has very minimal BLB and no dead pixels

About 80% of the monitors have dead pixels or terrible backlight bleed

The bad reviews about dead pixels had me so nervous about buying it

Any monitor manufacturer should know that where a dead pixel is located is more important that how many there are.

By ISO 13406-2 standards, ASUS conforms to the acceptance level between 3 to 5 defective bright/dark pixels

I can't say for sure it's what people are talking about when they refer to these monitors having a lot of dead pixels right out of the box, but it's possible

No dead pixels

The first monitor that I received had a dead pixel in the center of the screen

No dead pixels, ran a Backlight Bleed test and can see NO noticeable Backlight Bleed, Asus has figured out the quality control on that issue as of this date,Played around with Rocket League running at 150+ frames a second at 2560X1440 with G-sync, and it is just absolutely Gorgeous!I can not speak highly enough about how happy this purchase makes me!!!You really truly have to experience gaming at 144+ Hz to understand how this monitor allows your games to look.

It had a large cluster of dead and stuck pixels on one side of the monitor

ZERO dead pixels, ZERO backlight bleed, and I am THOROUGHLY impressed with the viewing angles considering it is a TN panel

I've not experienced a single dead pixel but have read many other reviews from folks that did.

Panel Is bright, no bad pixels

165Hz is nothing without good motion blue handling (fast pixel on/

It shipped with a single dead pixel in the lower left corner that is usually out of sight, so it isn't a problem, but a little bummer for an $800 monitor

ASUS, you are selling the public one of the most expensive gaming monitors and I'm sorry, but even a single dead pixel is UNACCEPTABLE AT THIS PRICE

but it had one little dead pixel and didnt really look much better than my $200 monitor

Also the pixels are very sharp and crisp which I like and this again is noticable better than with the XR341.Other Pros: (1) Very solid construction and great stand adjustability (2) Best OSD controls of any monitor (3) Good natural colour reproduction (4) Wide g-sync range (5

No dead pixels

No bleed through dead pixels

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.

no dead pixels

Returned my first one due to dead pixels and bad light bleed at the top right, received a replacement with no dead pixels and light bleed that wasn't quite as bad as the first in the top right

it also had the added bonus of some bright pixels which once noticed...become an eye-sore

a dead pixel and clearly it was returned, repackaged and sold as new

There is only one dead pixel in the bottom left of the

The first monitor I purchased looked perfect at first glance e.g., no dead pixels, no light bleed etc., but in a all-white screen the left half of the screen had a slightly red tinge, intensifying along the left edge of the screen

Paid way too much money for under 6 months use and a dead pixel.

The red asus logo that beams down on your desk is cool as well (I just wish I could change the color to anything other than red :p).

Pricey i

I'm glad I stick with what I k pw and trust in Asus

I still have to wait for this thing to warm up as I just got it about an hour ago, so we'll see if I have to update this review if my third unit starts bleeding.
