I was willing to take a chance, even after reading all the Negative reviews

Just so everyone can see it, this review is specifically for the WQHD, 178° (PG279Q)Unhappy with a monitor *this* expensive with this poor of quality

I was hesitant due to the cost and because of the negative reviews regarding the light bleed and dead pixels

I am glad that I didn't rely on the negative reviews.

My recommendation would be too not let some of the bad reviews here push you away

Reality is much different and the top quality samples sent to reviewers to base their "glowing" reviews on simply don't seem to be common for those of us actually shelling out the cash to buy one

better than what I expected due to the horrible reviews that plagued this product

P.S. - I think all the reviews that say "perfect, no issues" are just swallowing the BLB issues due to the monitor being so awesome otherwise

No, I got it because I heard good reviews from streamers and other hardcore gamers on this Asus Republic of Gamers monitor

Welp, despite all the negative reviews, I said to hell with it and spent $1300 on this monitor.

I was wary of ordering it based on some of the bad reviews here but the monitor I received was perfect

While I was tempted to try the acer predator xb271hu, reviews were also discouraging

The amazing color is the reason I gave a generous 3 star review, I will update when I receive my 3rd panel, I hope I am lucky with the 3rd display and get everything a $800.00 monitor should be

I thought an honest review to those who are about to spend over $1,000 should be warned that this product is known for its faulty quality and the customer support experience I had was not fun at all.

Needless to say, this monitor has many reviews and sticks around a 4 star average.

Admittedly, all of the negative product reviews about

I decided to give this purchase a shot even though there were so many negative reviews about quality control

I wanted to write a review in regards to this especially because of all of the negative reviews out there

With all the negative reviews on this product line don't be nervous with the TN option as i have yet to see a problem with it

Don't let the negative reviews steer you away from buying one of these

I can't believe how positive the reviews are for this thing

I had read so many negative reviews about backlight bleed and dead pixels that I was really worried about pulling the trigger on it

Normally I would just get a replacement instead of returning because faulty products do happen...however with the number of bad reviews I don't want to waste my time sending replacements back and forth

Yes I was like you extremely skeptical based on the negative reviews here on Amazon to buy this monitor.

I was initially very hesitant to purchase one of these high refresh rate IPS panels after reading such an abundance of poor reviews from unhappy purchasers

Nothing as bad as the other reviews

Due to some bad reviews, i was expecting my unit to be RMA'd a few times

There is a tiny bit in the upper right hand corner, but nothing like the poor reviews this monitor got earlier in its production life

the 9Q had a lot of scary reviews with dead pixels and back bleeds and problems

Not only have I rated everything 5 star up to this point, I'm not even saying I haven't gotten bad or 1 star items before, but this is the one item I felt that a year later, a proper review about this should be posted

Original Review:I was really worried about buying this monitor because of all of the bad reviews and early QC issues, but the monitor I received is just about perfect.

I say "unfortunately" because if you spend a hot second reading reviews online, you'll see a ton of comments about QC issues

I had to look for it since reviews are finicky about it but nothing major where it's unpleasant

I was hesitant due to the cost and because of the negative reviews regarding the light bleed and dead pixels

This review is regarding the PG279Q model, and there is a big caveat with it.

Nothing new to say that 100 other reviews haven't, monitor is great except for one thing I HATE, the speakers are absolute trash.

The reviews definitely have their merit, but always keep in mind that people who are satisfied usually never come back to write a review

I can clearly see that many of the pictures of backlight "bleed" are very obviously an IPS glow... so the negative reviews surrounding that belong on the 279, not the 278.Its entirely possible that some of these 278's have backlight bleed, but the horror pictures i see posted are very obviously IPS glow

I was pretty firm on the Acer due to all the negative reviews on backlight bleeding

, I was super worried with all the negative reviews, but I figured they probably got everything in QC worked out by now (saw some posts from asus about more inspections)

I was incredibly wary to actually purchase this monitor based on the bad overall reviews across here and Newegg, but am incredibly satisfied that I took the plunge

I’ve ever seen on a monitor (although I do wish there was a hardware button to swap between DisplayPort and HDMI inputs, the menu is pretty quick).There are a lot of poor souls not getting this lucky, however, and there are far too many negative QC-related reviews out there (and some downright horror stories) with pictures and/or videos to prove it to not take them seriously, so fair warning

say you cant see the 240Hz difference, don't trust those bad reviews you see on youtube or google searches

I see a lot of negative reviews on

I've always wanted this monitor for a long time but delayed myself from the negative reviews about its quality control

I knew going in to this purchase thata) this was the best 27" IPS monitor around, andb) back light bleed and IPS glow would 100% be a factor given the limitations of today's technology and sadly, Asus quality controlThe reason I went ahead and bit the bullet and purchased this model over the Acer predator and other 27" high refresh rate IPS displays was for one reason and one reason alone; all of the positive reviews both on Amazon and on Youtube and other places

Still keeping my review at 1 star until Asus issues a statement and or fixes this fiasco.

If something is worth a 5 star, I will go online and be the one person to tell you that it's a good product because I think on average, more people go online to write angry review than they do to go online and write good reviews

A great review of detailed performance can be found at TFT

Hope that helps someone like me, who spent days reading every review across multiple storefronts and agonizing over a purchase.

I almost didn't buy it because of all the negative reviews about quality control, but from what I can tell this is a top tier display, and worth every penny.

I was very put off by the price and negative reviews from other uses

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

The thing that really made me aware of the IPS glow is doing my research on the monitors and reading all of these hateful reviews that are out there, which almost had me believe that it was BLB before doing some more digging on the matter

It got nothing but great reviews

I admit that I don't know enough about the technical side of monitors to provide one of those awesome, thorough, detailed reviews, but I can tell you this: as much as I wanted to hate this monitor so I could return it and save some money with a lesser unit, I absolutely love it

I see the reviews are better in general when these are purchased in store

First, if you take the advice from the better reviewing sites and take over something that approximates their calibrated settings.. you end up around 25% brightness and the maximum RGB spectrum for this monitor

After i read all the bad review about this screen i hesitated too much to buy this screen, but when i saw it on Amazon selling it as Used - very good at a price slightly higher than 50% of the new product, I took the risk and bought it

I debated on buying the ASUS PG279Q (IPS version) monitor for the longest time due to the poor reviews.

Don't let the E-sports endorsements fool you, this is a poorly made product.

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.

Great monitor no defects like dead pixels or bad back light bleed in the one I
