I had no dead pixels and very little to no backlight bleed on my

I can't find a single dead pixel

I was a bit afraid it would arrive with a dead pixel or two from the shipping but thankfully it arrived in perfect condition and perfectly packed.

No dead pixels no back light bleed at all.

but I'll tell you this, if pixels is a concern for you just turn on the dsr feature in Nvidia

I tested it with 7-yo hardware, 2600K, and 1060 6gb prior to computer upgrade, and it even made 40fps look smooth, thanks to G-SYNC.Package arrived without dents, zero dead pixels, and it goes to 144hz easily with G-SYNC enabled and a simple drop-down on the GFX card settings.

with the dead pixels its an immediate DON'T BUY.

The IPS bleed is average, color and screen uniformity excellent, and mine had no dead or stuck pixels

No dead pixels.
