But you can add glue or gum of good quality so that this problem does not show up

I will not recommend this purchase to ANYONE after the double whammy of poor quality with both the product and Amazons customer support (which is usually good).I see the comments from ASUS on pretty much everyones review (including mine) saying that we probably just needed to "calibrate" the bleed away

Seriously if you're unlucky and get a "lemon", you're still going to appreciate the quality and maneuverability of the stand

The colors pop very well and the build quality is amazing.

but the quality even down to the way it was packed is terrible

Final thoughts - If you want superior image quality, go with an OLED 4K TV

Ive been through a few of these and this is the best quality one so far

Upgraded from what I thought was a pretty good ASUS monitor that I purchased a few years ago, but the PG279Q simply blows the image quality of the old one out of the water.

rate.-Full range G-Sync from 30-165 fsp (compared to it's free sync equivalent MG279Q with 30-90 FPS range)-G-sync turn on and off when it supposed to easily with no hassle (compared to MG279Q which I could not get to work with certain games namely BF4)-Quality build, looks and feels quality, very sturdy even when adjusting height, pivot, swivel etc.-Aesthetically pleasing to look at, aggressive styling yet look good with my some what understated

Sorry about the poor quality of photo, I was using my cell phone for it, but you can clearly see in the pic what looks like waves of light at the bottom of the screen

Sold my 2011 Samsung S27A950 and went down to my local computer store to pick up the hyped up Asus PG279Q. I had read the reviews here warning me about the bad Quality Control on these panels

The quality is great, picture is nice

Ok the manufacturing is top quality and very sturdy

It has the excellent qualities of an IPS panel with the fast responsiveness of a high refresh rate monitor.

Poor quality for an $1100 dollar monitor

Crappy quality control

Amazing picture quality, G-Sync is the best and overall it delivers incredible image quality.

Poor quality control and their support is awful

and it's terrible quality control

The quality of the stand was amazing, the menus system superb, better than any other monitor I have used

I saw a bunch of reiews about the terrible quality control, but I'm pretty sure that ASUS got their QC together because my monitor had very very small amount of bleed in the top right that you could only see if you looked for it

I you have been keeping up with this monitor on forums like overlock and reddit, then you know about the bad quality control it

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

Quality is amazing.

It is very stylish and has a solid build quality

I guess 800 dollars doesn't rate a flawless quality product

Why is it that the more expensive monitors have worse quality control

I was hoping to upgrade to a better quality panel with new features, however, the quality control on this monitor lost the sale.

I like the image quality and the monitor size

Pros: Good video quality, excellent user interface with built-in joystick and intuitive controls

Good quality.

"sturdy" [quality case/bezel/etc] well designed* Fairly minimal bezel.

The anti-glare coating (Matte) is horribly visible on the screen, and gives movies/games a bad quality.

Superb quality

It is very sad that such a high-end monitor does not have better quality control than this.

Garbage advertising and terrible quality assurance.

It has absolutly INSANE Ultra low motion blur, excellent response times and great overall image quality when it comes to the monitor itself

Way too expensive for pixel failures, bad quality control

It seems like asus finally has better quality control on these panels

I was comparing these monitors to the Dell s2716dg TN panel, The dell has excellent build quality, a poor menus system, and you often have to unplug the monitor to wake up from sleep mode

Then up to the positive qualities of this monitor: This is the first LCD monitor that I have seen that combines good colour with neglible motion blur / ghosting / overshoot

Absolutely horrible quality control on these monitors

also strong and quality :

BUT Worth EVERY Penny Great Quality and Unreal Performance with my 1080ti and i7 8700k Smashes Games like nothing ive ever seen before

Excellent build quality

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...

Amazing image quality.

Great image quality with no dead pixels whatsoever

I love the quality of this monitor and it brings my games to life with my Geforce 1080 TI card.

Price seemed high, but for good quality, I think that is to be expected.

Very expensive but unmatched quality!

I am not sure but when the monitor is displaying black backgrounds you can see bad picture quality

Great build quality, looks good, doesn’t give me a headache playing CS:GO.

For everyone else that is willing to trade 1-3ms of response time for vastly superior image quality, this monitor is available

The crowds are exaggerating regarding quality control

Ips colors are fantastic and I've never been blessed with such great picture quality

Amazing quality

Quality of motion is great, especially with G-Sync

Stunning picture quality

The hardware is pretty good quality.

I'm extremely disappointed in Asus, as this is arguably the best gaming monitor right now, but it is plagued with terrible quality control

Great response and quality at 1440p, 5 stars

There aren't many monitors that have high resolution, but low enough to still render 100+ fps in most games, excellent color quality of IPS, much faster response time than Hz

The build quality is solid and the design is appealing, even if the angled ports are a little annoying, and the onscreen display buttons were extra useful to me, as I like to alter my brightness fairly often

Only Con is the price but the quality is so good if you get a working one its worth it

I’m going to buy something cheaper, where accepting poor quality will be easier.

Very good Quality Build and A Beast for Streaming

No quality issues at all

Decent build quality, the OSD with the joystick to navigate is ingenious

the bad part.... this monitor has awful quality control, and I'm sure this isn't the first review you are going to read that says this.

Beautiful and great quality

Poor quality control and their support is awful

No problems with my monitor!Pros:-165hz is insane-IPS panel for great quality-27inch is huge and perfect-2K

I would avoid these and look for one with better quality

It is quite possible I will update my review once I receive the proper quality items.

You can see the potential in this monitor the moment you turn it on and play your favorite game though, it's just unfortunate that Asus can't really nail these issues because this would be, without a doubt, the best monitor as far as performance and picture quality

This is a very good quality monitor both in terms of its 4k screen, and build quality I recommand it!

I do not need a good image quality since I use them mainly for

you dont know what you are missing till you get this bad boy, very good picture quality, and quality parts as usual, just make sure to buy the warrenty, its a must

Horrible quality control from Asus

The build quality is very solid as well

This monitor is like looking through a window with no blur and picture perfect color quality!

The build quality and QC just isn't reliable

It unfortunately has the worst quality control that I have ever seen

Supurb quality

but I already expected this with an IPS screen and wasn't too bothered by it since the overall 21:9 quality is perfect to me.

excellent picture quality.

The quality is great

ultra wide), and the electronics surrounding the panel itself may include new features like black equalization, the panel in this particular model is fast and high quality, and not easily surpassed

im either going to get a BEN-Q without Gsync (Super quality) or try the AOC version.

Amazing quality monitor

Excellent build quality, great features

The build quality is fantastic

Liked the idea of the ASUS but the quality for the price was totally unacceptable.

, Gsync is great, the build quality is great....but this QC issue is a joke

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.

Five starsvery sturdy quality construction

Even though it's a TN panel, it has a very impressive picture quality, and very little back bleeding.

It is sturdy, has great overall build quality, and great color reproduction

Everyone on the overclock forums are happy with theirs and most of them came from the PG279Q. Acer has much better quality control on their version of this Asus monitor

Amazing picture quality

Beautiful image quality and love the sturdy design

Horrible quality control from Asus, will return and get something better.

stuttered and lower quality screens look bad

Would definitely not recommend purchasing this, very poor quality control.

I returned 2 Pixio monitors in a row due to poor quality and dead pixels

I don't know, but after reading several reviews it seems Acer has the better quality control.

I understand that this is a common failing with IPS monitors, but for the price this should have more stringent quality control

Awesome right out of the box, great quality product, no dead pixels, looks and works awesome

The good: awesome build quality, great OSD navigation, best bullet point features

There is one included in the box, but I opted to get a better quality one here

You have less than a 50-50 shot of getting an decent quality

I was automatically thoroughly impressed with the design of the monitor, the build quality and sleek design was spot on

Amazing quality, looks stellar as it should for the price, love how wide it is, makes gaming more immersive.

The rumors of their painful customer service and shoddy quality are absolutely true and well deserved.

The build quality looks top

I've ordered two of these screens now, beautiful image quality and performance is great

This flickering and generally poor color quality on the panel caused excessive blurring in games and even when just using the monitor for looking at web pages; the excessive "motion blur" caused motion sickness for me

The resolution makes other games look amazing!Excellent quality from ASUS as always

This is a fantastic monitor, with great picture quality, color depth, and refresh rate

For $600, I was expecting better quality

Poor quality control and even worse customer service.

The build quality just seems superb.

This monitor handles color fantastically but back-light bleed (not IPS glow) and the clear low quality of the manufacture make this a horrible monitor to look at

It has terrible picture quality and by the time I found out it was past the return period

The color performance is exceptionally well tuned out of the box, and the pixel overdrive function is as close to perfect as you can get

This doesn't bother me too much as I can just turn off the setting and notice no difference in game, also like I said, don't be deterred, I'm positive it's my rig or the higher resolution of the monitor

- it may be there, but it didn't work right out the box as I had to manually change the input when the monitor was off - but it doesn't really matter cuz the joystick I explained earlier is boss

Expensive as

G-Sync works as

After reading several reviews I was confused as to what models were being reviewed after

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

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

, just doesn't look as good as my old samsung syncmaster 244T
