Very low light bleed for IPS (and i mean barely!)

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

I bought this monitor for gaming, so after seeing that I didn't have any dead pixels and back light

I have purchased and returned 3 PG279Q to Fry's, 2 from Amazon, all of them had unacceptable back light

For $150 more you run the chance of Getting a bad back-light bleed on IPS, but I mean hey, it's got much better viewing angles, then again you're not going to be looking at these monitors (witch are for gaming) from the side

Pros: IPS, 144hz (up to 165 hz), excellent base, excellent movable panelCons: LED red lights means it stands out if you are into customization

all of other manufacturers have bad light bleed

I ordered 3 of these at the same time for my surround setup, so far 2 of them are going back,First unit the bezel and outside case are detached enough that the back-light is shining right through the space and actually lights up my desk a little in the dark

Abundant and excessive yellow light bleeding from the right corners, even at very low brightness

Also, there appears to be a bad batch that bleeds light like crazy.

For the price, it's absurd that I'm experiencing such drastic light bleed in the corners of this monitor

I don't have severe back light bleeding on my unit but compared to

Some Back light bleeding

Honestly I ordered mine used from amazon and it was great not too terrible black light bleed and no dead pixels

The red light (adjustable and can be turned off within menu) is the final "what" for me - I bought for brand reputation and specs, in spite of the design- Heavy

If I had to pick a problem, it would be that my girlfriend doesn't like the LED red lights, but I think they look great.

Amazing monitor, Silly wide base that you need a separate desk for to accommodate a silly light

Minimal back-light bleed, which I have dealt with for other monitors

Minimum light bleed

My first monitor had horrific light bleed at the top right, after warranty repair, with a new panel refitted, it had light bleed in the bottom right

Plus moderate black light bleeding on the top right corner.

I changed the blue light mode as well as I know the ASUS guy will respond saying that, it may have improved a minuscule amount but color rendition is horrible on the higher settings, I want true color and that means the setting should be 0.

I had recieved two ASUS units, both have excessive light bleed (not to be confused with IPS glow).

My monitor came with prominent light bleeding in the top right corner

That is my only complaint, but still the arm is very sturdy and the lighting on it is beautiful, too bad you can't change the color of the light from red though

My monitor has an important back light bleeding very disappointed!!!This purchase was to replace my 6 years old ips dell monitor which was much better in term of quality...for the price i expected TOP NOTCH quality which dell didn't fail to provide...

The upper right hand corner was only distracting when the screen had a lot of black on it, for example, a dark cave in the Tomb Raider game, or at night during Dying Light

The first I returned DUE to extremely uneven lighting and backlight bleed.

Severe back-light bleeding, returning to hopefully get one that isnt this bad

It looks beautiful on my desk, I love the LED light on the base, and the OSD is very user friendly, though somewhat cumbersome to access on the fly.

Zero dead pixelsMinimal light bleed (IPS so there will always be some)OC to

The first monitor I received had significant light bleed especially in the bottom two corners, IPS glow was hardly noticeable and definitely acceptable for a IPS monitor

There is almost completely unnoticeable IPS glow, and back light bleed from what I can tell, viewing the monitor in both lit and dark ambient light conditions

Black edges of the screen glow more light a bright brown, white areas of the screen are inconsistent patchy shades of grey

After a few weeks of use I do have one dead pixel (light) red dot

cool design(colorful light)

so I hooked it up by HDMI to my laptop to run all the tests for dead pixels and back light

I exchanged it for an Acer X34 (March 2016 build) which had even more atrocious light bleed on both of the left corners along with perhaps the worst menu navigation on a monitor today

First monitor received had slight light bleed in two points of the upper right corner and severe light bleed in the entire bottom right corner.

No dead pixels..minimal light bleed

If I had to pick a problem, it would be that my girlfriend doesn't like the LED red lights, but I think they look great.

Do not like the light under the monitor

I just dont think I will be able to overlook the excessive back light bleed i have on this monitor

Minimal (very minimal) back-light bleed

Slight back-light bleed around the edges but pretty un-noticeable when using it for gaming

The only downside is the red light at the base that doesn't turn off even if the monitor is not being used, only way to turn it off is to hit the power button on the monitor

+ G-sync works fine on all the game I've tested+ Pretty good OSD and easy to use :)- Minimum" unnoticed " black-light bleeding ( to be

* mild light bleeding in pure dark screens

Looking at the picture of the monitor on a black screen really paints this monitor in a bad light.

The lighting in my picture appears uneven but is just the camera angle and reflection

I really wanted to love this monitor, the design is awesome, super slim bezels, all matte black, a light to tell you if you are running ULMB or GSYNC and lets not forget that flawless OSD menu with that joystick for easy navigation

I had multiple black pixels all over the screen as well as a stuck lit pixel right in the middle

Abundant and excessive yellow light bleeding from the right corners, even at very low brightness

Super light and great stand as well.

Just as bad light bleed problems(if not worse) and the OSD's were a nightmare to navigate.

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

The LED lights on the back are designed to provide a light show behind the display and underneath the stand

Also like most of other TN flat panel monitors, just few degree angle off from the center of the monitor will give you ridiculously distorted colors (Ambient light on keyboard under the monitor will give you glowing yellow light)

The IPS version is only good if you play well-lit games in well-lit rooms, and you have a special need for extreme color accuracy

I had to returned it twice because of the bad back light bleed

Minimal back light bleed, completely acceptable for an IPS panel.

dead pixel, orange black light bleed in top right and bottom left

Not even the slightest back light bleed

Severe back-light bleeding, returning to hopefully get one that isnt this bad

However, the horrible QC with this product makes it hard to recommend, I've had to return/replace 3 or 4 of these so far, and i'm still having the same issues with many dead pixels and excessive back-light bleed

If you like to play lots of dark games and often have the lights off, you will notice the bleeding.

Severe flash lighting just like other

My one minor gripe is that the screen is glossy, not matte, so if you have bright lights or sun behind you, you will experience glare

/right light bleed and one point of top/right light bleed.

Not into all the fancy lights, and the stand that comes with it is way too low for me

It had the worst back light bleeding ever

Also like most of other TN flat panel monitors, just few degree angle off from the center of the monitor will give you ridiculously distorted colors (Ambient light on keyboard under the monitor will give you glowing yellow light)

Some black light bleed and IPS glow are noticeable, particularly on black screens.

Then put all black background on screen and darkened room lights

Just so you know During the Ghost Recon Wild lands closed beta testing, the night scenes were just about unplayable because of the excessive back-light bleed on this monitor.

Some black light bleed and IPS glow are noticeable, particularly on black screens.

Excessive light bleed had monitors replaced and both came out defective.

Literally zero uneven lighting, even at highest contrast and testing with gray and black screens, it's beautifully consistent

You can even turn off the stupid red light on the base

/right light bleed and one point of top/right light bleed.

- AwesomeVery light bleed on the bottom left and light bleed on the top right

Overpriced, and bad light bleeding.

The excessive back-light bleed on these monitors is horrible

It was visible even with a bright light on

i think these monitors get damaged sitting in the box and or in shippingso mine had no dead pixels but the right top of screen had a horrendous black light bleed, like a quarter inch half circle that dropped down 1inch to the left of the right corner

its back light bleed the other specs are very

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.

Pricey i

Don't get me wrong, the display itself is absolutely gorgeous; the colors are wonderful, the bezels are slim, the stand is clean and stylish, and the stated features (144hz, g-sync, etc) all work as intended.

The g-sync and fast refresh paired beautifully with my GTX 1080 to make an amazing gaming experience

In addition to a 165Hz panel you get Nvidia's G-Sync adaptive-refresh technology, ULMB motion-blur reduction, GamePlus, a hot-key to switch framerates on the fly and the usual lineup of gaming-specific image modes

If you don't have G-sync supporting GTX cards, DO NOT buy this model

Color Accuracy-Great Response Time-G-SYNC-Easy to adjust refresh rates

I've tested a few games (Overwatch, DOOM, Civ VI, among others) with G-Sync, which works perfectly and adds a huge edge for competitive games

Cons: G-Sync Scan Lines impacting the right half of the screen, signifying a faulty G-Sync Module

G-sync works

I will just go for the cheapest G-sync next time around

Modified graphics settings on the computer instead of the monitor (most websites say to try disabling G-Sync and V-Sync, dropping it down to 60hz, adjusting gamma, and so much more.**Of

The G-Sync when combined with a refresh rate of more than 60 hertz, the screen flickers 10 times in under a minute

Upon disabling G-Sync, the scan lines became far less visible

You're practically paying $150 just for G-Sync (Which I love
